@gse@norden.socialIch paar mal kde ausprobiert, aber aus irgendeinen grund bin ich da nicht zurecht gekommen. Nun möchte ich doch nochmal kde mir anschaun, da kde ja 30 jahre alt geworden ist. 30 jahre ist ne lange Zeit, wielange gibts windows ?
@nelson@tech.lgbtStill enjoying Linux desktop but some edges are rough. Today's goal: play the new Boards of Canada album from the download I just bought.
The good thing about Linux is there's almost always some workaround, there must be 100 ways to play music in this environment. It's just comical than this simple task is so complicated.
@grahamperrin@bsd.cafeI found an answer, suggested an improvement:

@rigo@mamot.frLibreoffice started the enshittification that I already saw in KDE by mutilating menus that have been there for decades. This seems to be the new thing in OSS development. I can't really advance things, so I just change UI stuff because I can do it. Maintainers shouldn't accept that enshittification.

@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.euTIR (today I realised) that in KDE/Linux you can place all kinds of interesting files in ~/Templates, for instance:
"CREATE_URL.url"
containing the text:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=PASTE_URL
and the Dolphin file manager will allow you to choose it from the "Create New" menu. Neat 🙂

@theodric@social.linux.pizzaIn the absence of meaningful progress from the KDE team before their stated X11 rugpull, SonicDE (a continuation of KDE-X11) may offer some hope, or if nothing else a bridge to some future æon when KDE-Wayland is finally sufficiently functional: https://sonicde.org/
@unixviking@social.linux.pizzaWhy the hell do I constantly have problems with KDE Plasma and that piece of crap Akonadi???? Constant error messages, crashes, etc. whenever I try to connect to a calendar! It doesn't matter at all whether I try the Nextcloud Calendar, iCloud Calendar, or Google Calendar. And when I remove an online calendar, everything freezes—the entire KDE desktop. I’ve had this problem for years, no matter which version of KDE I use. I never have these kinds of problems with GNOME or GNOME Calendar.…

＂Just a month ago, we managed to bring you a new episode of KDE Express.
As usual, you can find the episode notes with all the links at:
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaI do Mango & Niri on Slackware, Slackware JTown (KDE) on another NUC and will re-do dwm on Gentoo on the laptop by tomorrow.
So how about that BSD Challenge then?
Grabbed that Thinkpad, of course the latest GhostBSD wouldn't install. Bitten by a rare FreeBSD bug. But the previous version installed without a hitch and I'm doing a dist-upgrade now. Gotta say that this is by far the best and most accessible BSD install I've seen.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaWith all my explorations going on, it's easy to forget that both my Slackware KDE and Gentoo dwm installs are on the cutting edge of basically everything and just humming along nicely. Through all kernel upgrades and beta software (kde 6.7!) they just work. Amazing tools!
@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.euSince currently the pop-up window functionality of GoldenDict-ng is kind of bugged on KDE, this script might help.
You'll need kdotool and wl-clipboard. Add the script to the KDE menu and set a global keyboard shortcut. The shortcut will also work if the clipboard is empty (just showing GoldenDict).
#GoldenDict
![#!/bin/bash
WINDOW_ID=$(kdotool search --name "GoldenDict-ng")
ACTIVE_ID=$(kdotool getactivewindow)
if [ "$WINDOW_ID" == "$ACTIVE_ID" ]; then
# Window is active and on top
kdotool -q search --name "GoldenDict-ng" windowclose
else
# Window is either hidden, minimized, or in the background
goldendict "$(wl-paste --primary)" # will grab the whole selection; remove quotes for the first word only
kdotool -q search --name "GoldenDict-ng" windowactivate

@penguin42@mastodon.org.ukOK, snapdragon laptop-ish now running as my second machine rather than a ~10-15 year old Intel laptop. It's running Debian/sid and KDE; heck - it's actually a useful aarch desktop!!

@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaI saw an Explaining Computers video about the Peripad-506 trackpad, and while he cautioned that not all features were working outside of Windows, enough of it worked in Linux that I wanted to get it, as I need something gentle on the hand at the moment. I'm happy to report that it just works great in KDE. Maybe it is better supported now than when he tested it; gestures, 2- and 3-finger taps etc. work great, and I'm using it on a tablet that already has a trackpad, but they show up a…

@nelson@tech.lgbtI'm using Nobara, a Fedora variant. KDE Plasma desktop. It's all quite slick.
@theodric@social.linux.pizzaOnly a few months left until KDE drops X11 forever, and they STILL haven't fixed fractional scaling in themes OR gesture configurability, both of which are fully working in X11, and the latter of which would be mitigated by simply stripping the hardcoded gestures currently baked into kwin_wayland and allowing the user to find their own way. (As ever, my kwin6 patches are available on GitHub if you'd like to do exactly that.)
I'm sure they're all working on Very Importan…
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThat hybrid approach applied. Chimera Linux takes care of a great base, including KDE. I use verified Flatpaks for all major things (librewolf, vlc etc). Distrobox for that one akward application I need. Setup of that on Chimera is as painless as it can be. I do the same on Slackware, although I make some essential pkgs myself also. So, trusted base, containerized applications. No AUR here. Anymore 🤣
@mlncn@social.coop @thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza @thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaI got triggered (thnx @…) to revive my description on how to get a KDE Wayland session on FreeBSD up and running. You can find it here:

@nelson@tech.lgbtNot thrilled with what Fedora / KDE has turned home directories into. Copying my homedir from Bazzite (a Fedora) to Fedora 44, a whole bunch of stuff doesn't work because of bad paths, etc. Also nothing worked at all because I forgot to rsync the weird SELinux extra attribute stuff. None of this is the Unix I cut my teeth on 30 years ago!
@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.euJust out of curiosity, can anyone explain why does #Thunderbird avoid supporting the system tray? It's such a bad experience on KDE 😔 I had to install a fork (Betterbird) to have an email client always listening for new mail without having to trip over it when I alt-tab.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaA new home for the work laptop. Introducing asterix-danang, my own bootc image, based on Fedora Kinoite. to be found here: https://github.com/danangineer/asterix-danang
KDE 6.7, distrobox, homebrew, all fluff removed.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza @thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaWhat can you do when your home has been taken back by the landlord?
Talking KDE here, no worries.
With Jtown's demise (um grande abraço @… !) it also gives me freedom again.
And nothing is as brittle as my solemn pledges, so I'm (re)building my bootc KDE image. Don't want no one else but myself be responsible for the mess I make 😆
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaOrder restored. Experimental KDE by @… Flatpaks as applications. Kernel 7.0. Slacker0ni repo for all goodies. Homebrew and/or distrobox possible also. As immutable as a mutable distro gets.

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaHidden pleasures. Kubuntu 26.04 beta is available. And I like it. Why?
Do a minimal install, not normal or full. You get Plasma 6.6.4, Wayland only, Linux 7.0. Open Discover: snap is not enabled ootb and the checkbox to enable flatpak is available from the get-go. The overall system clocks in around 1.2Gb. Kudos to the team, in one go Kubuntu has been pushed to the front of the KDE queue. Clearly the Linux Mint or Zorin of KDE, and that is meant as a compliment.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaI got diverted today, you could say. Wound up in the BSD world again, and it remains a great place to be. Will keep running my KDE at least until 6.7.
Nevertheless: diverted from Casuarina Linux, a must try. Couple that with a very interesting blogpost of some time ago and i'm really looking forward to it. More tomorrow, especially if The Powers That Be let me off the hook like today.
#casuarinalinux
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaInteresting to see Bluefin with Gnome 50.1 is pretty close to KDE in RAM usage now. Which, on the 8Gb laptop, is much appreciated. Eats all I throw at it. Cool.
#bluefin
@luana@wetdry.worldCan't seem to get my SIM to work either, KDE says the APN password is wrong even tho it's what everyone says is the correct one online. On Android it works automatically, so I wonder if I can somehow see what infos Android is using so I can copy them over.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThe unspeakable has happened. I've installed Aeon, the immutable Gnome by OpenSuse. Although KDE and WM's (dwm, mango) are at the core of my nerdiism, that ThinkPad deserved something else. Can't have an opinion without actually using it.
First impressions: clean, no fluff. Very good security (TPM encryption et al). And Suse was my first distro many years ago (the 2 books and 6 CD's boxes). Network shares very smooth, tomorrow some extensions. And forget about my usual …
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaWith all the love that OpenBSD is getting now (and rightly so!), and my good ol' Slackware KDE back on the main NUC, I feel the time is right to finally spent serious time in FreeBSD. Let's install it on the hybrid graphics laptop and use it as my daily work driver for the next month at least? I'll report about the trials and tribulations over here.
River, Mango, Niri. Let's go!

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaRealized I'm currently running KDE, Gnome and Cosmic. For the 1st time since 2019 there's no windowmanager around. Am I sundowning my ADD? I sure am getting lazy. Let's grab that Slackware iso later today and get me some tilers.
@grahamperrin@bsd.cafe @thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaLiving nerd-life on the edge.
For the non-initiated it's hard to grasp, but in my throwback mood I have enabled the global ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" USE flag again. To install the latest KDE obviously. In the 5.28 days I used that setup of Gentoo for about 4 months before I broke it.
And it fills me with great joy to see that screen roll by again. Let's see how this ends 😎
#archlabs
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaIs there any specific explanation why KDE Wayland on FreeBSD uses so much RAM? 2.3 to 2.5 gb? For me personally it doesn't matter, all these discussions are beyond me, it's not 1972 anymore. But it is noticeable and I wonder why.
#freebsd
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThat T2 should spend some time on documentation; the first dialog box asks for a superuser pwd and it isn't supplied anywhere. Quick install documentation is from 2017. And, btw, over the last couple of years I've regularly had issues with wifi connections at install in KDE (hello Kwallet). Am I the only one? Obviously!
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThat Dakotaraptor is awesome. This mornings iso did work for me. 7:49 minutes install, encrypted, tpm unlock, homebrew, distrobox, flatpak, GnomeOS. Most interestingly: this is not a distro, it's an image, with everything included. Hope the team will make a KDE Dakota. But this is great. Exciting tech that just works.
