@… While not technically official any bug you log with flatpak, one of the others will send my way, so you can do it there if you like.
Or just tell me the problem here and I will do my best.

Let it run overnight, but the end result is worth waiting for: a very clean, fully functional KDE 6 session on Slackware. Exactly the base you would get when installing Plasma on ArchLinux, and thus a perfect base to build on.
Later today: adding homebrew, distrobox and flatpak to get additional applications installed.
Thanks @… !

I like Flatpaks, really, but then…
I had a bunch of Qt apps where the dark theme wasn't working. The solution was to install `org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark`, which is the default dark theme, but as Flatpak.
Please, allow me to question this:
Why did I have to do this? I shouldn't have to do this. I shouldn't have to even worry about this. Why did I need to install the dark theme a second time? Why isn't that handled automatically?

So. That iso with Slackware, nwg-shell on Sway and Niri plus a shitload of goodies (thnx @… ) installed nicely. Cleaned it up a bit and added and compiled Mangowc (aka maomao) myself, to have a closer look at it. Added Homebrew, Flatpak is there by install.
Surprisingly enough this means also I'm out of KDE for the first time in about 5 years.
I had a …

Content warning: re: intense Gnome frustrations no one should be forced to read
and so, once again, the 'solution' isn't in the distro or legacy, it is in the wiki on the internals of Evolution where I just incidentally learn it can be a flatpak or not, and thus there are TWO .local/share folders to wipe. So I delete all accts in Evo, empty trash just in case, exit, wipe those folders, go into Settings, delete the Google connection which shows as two identical so delete them both, reboot.
On boot, go straight to settings which shows none, add Google and I'm in, quick as a wink. I start #Evolution, and lo, there it is, my account fetching emails!
Now to figure that #mastodonel thing and why mastodon.plstore is so problematic.

man debian packaging is so cursed with modern package managers. It's so oriented around everything being C-shaped libfoo-version.tar.gz files at the core, and everything else is forced into that hole.
I get _why_ but the trade-offs seem really bad now. I can see why Canonical said 'screw it, we're doing snaps’ for a lot of stuff. I can see why flatpak is being used. Of course those just head straight for the cliff of "Security updates? Nah" cliff.

Playing with that barebone QT6 KDE by @… .
Still alpha alpha, so don't do this if you don't want to.
But: everything working very nicely. Add Homebrew for all things cli. Flatpak for the rest.
And also nice to see that KDE is porting more and more applications to Flathub: Dolphin, Konsole, Gwenview and Okular work very well.
Cool stuff…

Hmmmm, well I went to start setting up a recording session for some Meshtastic radios only to realize that my OBS doesn't seem to support screen recording...
It loads the screen, but only for a few frames before it just stops. Doesn't seem to spit out any errors on the CLI and doesn't crash, it just stops receiving updates from Pipewire.
Tried both v32 from their Flatpak and v31 from the Debian 13 (Trixie) repo and both seem to have the same issue.
Any other De…

That Helium browser is a nice one. Super snappy. Very nice, community efforts to package it in distro formats (and Flatpak) ongoing. Of course appimages run ootb on Slackware ;-). Good tip by @…!

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza2025-11-24 04:00:30
Tsja. That Flatpak of KeepassXC requires a higher version of QT5 than Slackware offers atm. There's a slackbuild available, but I'm not gonna use sw by an unknown author to store my pwds. Crack in the mirror. Appimage then.

I got a question at work here today about hardened Linuxes.
Remembered SecureBlue and decided to install the KDE iso.
And first impressions are really good. It includes a hardened browser and many, many tweaks.
Most of all: with flatpak, homebrew and very good documentation I haven't found things that I can't do yet. Impressive!
What I appreciate the most is that it makes you rethink about security and how to apply it in D2D.

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza2025-11-19 23:25:29
With @… you gotta daily-check those repo's. Updated KDE liveslak, updated window manager goodies, updated testing (minimal KDE, with homebrew, flatpak and distrobox): on a roll!
