Thanks for clarification!

Ah, I have mistaken Keysmith with Keychain:

https://carlschwan.eu/2024/07/01/initial-work-on-keychain/

So Keychain is the KeepassXC based password manager while Keysmith is 
similar to Aegis Authenticator, AndOTP or FreeOTP+ on Android.

Nice so we can do second factor on laptop. Of course if the laptop is the 
one authenticating, it may still be wise to have the second factor on 
another device. Although the security of many Android devices… well let's 
not dive into that here. But with PostmarketOS on a smart phone or some 
Linux on a tablet… and I think that is mostly the target audience. Many of 
those new apps are geared towards use on smaller form factor mobile 
devices, but can be used on a desktop as well.

Regarding somewhat new apps there is also Arianna. An alternative EPub 
reader to Okular. Aurélien just uploaded a version to experimental that 
should be installable. The 24.05 version currently in the archive refers 
to qml packages that are not available.

Also kde-inotify-survey warns of excessive use of INotify so one knows 
when to raise the limit or do something else about it. 

Thank you,
