@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaFor KDE I've recently settled on Alpine Linux. I've been around the block on Plasma and I can assure you it is one of the best out there. Couple that with blazingly fast mirrors, LUKS encryption, flatpaks and setup scripts and you have a winner. Not for beginners, but absolutely worth a go. Recommended!
#alpinelinux
@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
fi

@rigo@mamot.frMaybe it is time for me to go back to debian stable or some such. #Opensuse is pushing half baked solutions, which makes me sad after all those years of reliable services. On top, I don't understand this obsession for Wayland (which isn't up to speed on Desktop).

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaIt's too much. I installed TileOS, Debian based, Riverwm. Aeryn with Cosmic is running. My labwc with Noctalia should be on FreeBSD. Discovered PostmarketOS has a desktop iso. Fluxbox on MX still pulls me in. Chimera on ZFS deserves a second, thorough, test. Man, so many wildy cool things happening. And Alpine KDE needs some wrapping up. Slackware and Gentoo stay the solid foundation.

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaAs said before musl-based AlpineLinux really rocks.

For me that shows how lean everything has been put together. Cool.

Technical implementation is, in essence:
On click, send `zwlr_foreign_toplevel_handle_v1.close()` to the compositor (politely requesting the application to an hero).
Then, resolve the PID from `/proc` by matching `app_id`,, then send **SIGTERM** (or **SIGKILL** if launched…

@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.euInterestingly, CachyOS was restrcting by default the power draw of my GPU.

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaSo, here's the thing. I was fooled in the last couple of weeks.
Gentoo KDE was (and is) an absolute pleasure to use. I love my Larry. But that was also because there were no KDE updates 😜
Especially when I've got these other KDE's just rolling by and I have a memory of an impeccable JTown.
I'll pick up my dwm and slap it on Gentoo, that's the way to go. 90 minutes compiling of kwin-x11 is too much. Let alone with monthly updates.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaAfter a month on my NixOS KDE it was time to change gears. Heading back to Arch and spins for KDE. Cachy is impressive, but brings a lot. Too much for me. Right now Garuda Linux, with the KDE minimal iso, looks to be the 'winner'. This is very close to pure Arch, and only adds useful tools like btrfs snapshots. That one for the next month.
@theodric@social.linux.pizzaMan, I have run out of fucks to throw at this project for the moment. So be it. Clearly I'm in the extreme minority in being interested in correcting this issue, so I won't feel too pressed in making a generic solution to my specific problems.
I'm guessing that the subset of people who care within the subset of people with the talent to solve the problem within the subset of people who use KDE is fairly small. Seems like all the cool kids are running tiling window managers …
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaSo, The Core (in no particular order):
1. Slackware with nwg-shell Sway, Niri and Mango
2. Gentoo dwm
3. Aurorix, my KDE container spin.
4. FreeBSD 15 with Mango
5. Slackware Flatbrew, a KDE QT6 experimental iso, with Brew and Flatpaks (thnx @… 😉)
All working superbly.
Contemplating a bootc Cosmic spin 😜

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaYou have that gnarly application that only comes in rpm, deb and AppImage. Then you suddenly remember Distrobox. And AlpineLinux is made for these setups. Tests finished, I'll finally be able to run KDE with all my required apps on Alpine! #alpinelinux #archlabs
@grahamperrin@bsd.cafeI ran the desktop script that's to be integrated with FreeBSD Installer.
Unfortunately: kde is currently not packaged for FreeBSD:15:latest on ARM64, so a change to quarterly was required.
The script installed two packages from quarterly (alongside previously installed packages from latest):
― lang/lua54
― multimedia/wireplumber
The issue with SDDM persists.
I reverted to latest. pkg-upgrade(8) in progress …
Testing is painfully slow in emulation…
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaDid a reverse install of Gentoo today. Installed dwm alongside KDE, made sure all was running well. Then deinstalled all KDE parts, did a deep clean and switched profile to just desktop (from desktop-plasma). Smooth, and keeping all settings, applications and tweaks as they were. Easily beats a 4 hour reinstall 😅
#gentoo
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThe bad thing about these quickshells is that we now suddenly have to like all things QT? It still looks god-awful outside of KDE. Electron on steroids. Ah, yes, that KaOS thing installed, went past the bootloader and offered me a black void, where nothing happened. Well tested? Not! 🤪
@grahamperrin@bsd.cafe… nothing remarkable from an ordinary upgrade after reverting to latest (screenshot attached).
I forced an upgrade of lua54 and wireplumber from latest, then:
reboot -r
No better.
I begin to wonder whether this is somehow related to missing packages other than kde …
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaIt was nice to learn about containers and bootc. But after reinstalling Cosmix yesterday (my NixOS spin) I've decided to stick to that. KDE on the laptop will be served on Alpine, FreeBSD or Void for the next month (at least). GitHub repo's will go today, I'm perfectly happy at Codeberg.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaTime to pretend to be productive again 🤣 On the laptop it's back to Obelix, my NixOS KDE config. On the desktop there's nothing happening; everything still boxed up after the move to Danang. Procrastination is a bad mofo, but also one of my best friends 😜
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaWelcome to Aurorix Saigon, my opinionated take on Aurora KDE, showing a menu and a terminal window with installed cli tools.

Now, don't worry, Slackware with Mango is superb and Gentoo (after losing it's KDE flavor for me) will be…
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaI do like new initiatives. PrismLinux is another nice Arch respin. Optimized kernel, own styling, nice. But 2Gb for a plain KDE session is too much.

Edit; try one with a regular window bar - right click - set up rule also
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaSpend my day in Slackware Flatbrew, a one-off from my mate in Motown. Synced KDE dots, brew installs and installed flatpaks between Aurorix and Slackware, to achieve that at-home feeling, anywhere i go. It worked out great. Tomorrow it'll be Larry and dwm. Can't go wrong with that one either.

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaRemember I did that bootc KDE container, based on the Bluefin template? That method is really handing the power to the user. I've now tried Origami (Cosmic), today a brief stint with Zirconium (Niri and Dank) and I'm now heading into Zena. That last one looks to be very special, and is also a bootc container. More later.
#archlabs
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza@stu@chaos.social what do you mean? No login manager? What DE do you use? If you use KDE you can enable automatic login in SDDM.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaSo, I'm getting down to the core:
1. Slackware with nwg-shell Sway and Mango
2. Gentoo dwm
3. Aurorix, my KDE container spin.
All working superbly.
One SSD left. FreeBSD? I think so.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaI need to delve into rsync. Just noticed a well maintained repo of KDE pkgs, running on the oldest distro around. I know the maintainer, finally a chance to get back into the groove 😎
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThere's always greener grass somewhere. When that KDE on proper Arch is humming away nicely, the thoughts wander back to the great Slackware KDE6 times with @… or even the proper Gentoo install (just plasma-desktop, not meta, is a viable option there also). And if it wasn't for that one gnarly AppImage I'd be running Alpine. Obviously.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaThere was this mention in the Budgie 10.10 release announcement of ending an era and working together in a very positive way with the KDE team.
What most people, including yours truly, missed was the mention of QT6 as the new development platform of choice for Budgie 11! Part of Frameworks is already in 10.10, and a totally new architecture will be build for Wayland, QT and Budgie. Exciting times!
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaWhen you turn to dwm (as opposed to KDE, for a shorter compile) and forget Ghostty requires Zig 😜🤪
#gentoo
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaIn my tour of Arch KDE spins I've had a look at the latest EndeavourOS this morning. For now this strikes a perfect middleground: it is very close to core Arch, with some minor, non-obtrusive, tools added to it. Decent ricing ootb and also a nicely tweakable setup. No snapshots, no Nvidia tweaks ootb, but hovering around 1Gb in memory. Which is really sharp. On we go: CachyOS!
NB: what a geek does whilst waiting for his apartment in Danang 😎
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaWith Aurorix up and running (OCI container with KDE) it's time to start Asterix up also. That's my 'immutable', auto-updating Nix. Although less 'confined' than Aurorix it should be basically the same for the enduser. Looking forward to the comparison.
#auroralinux #nixos
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaBananaFin, my mix of project Banana (immutable KDE/Aurora) and BlueFin, is reaching finalization.Tomorrow some more testing (have brew and flatpak install my own applications upon first boot), but it is all running very smoothly. Aside from this being my hobby as well, you'd just install this and get on with it. And yes, it's a bootc container, from the cloud, secure boot enabled and it runs flatpaks and systemd. And very well, thank you!
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaAll the others? It was all fluff.
Take the Arch iso. Install, no desktop. Don't follow recommendations. Install Plasma desktop and add KDE modules as you see fit. Use the new Plasma login manager, Wayland only. End up with a very lean, encrypted system, clocking in below 700 pkgs and at 987Mb. Now, that makes me happy 😊
#archlinux
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaOne of the nice things with Garuda Mokka is you get some ricing, applications, tools etc. ootb. But all can be adjusted, turned off or even deinstalled quite easily. Everything has been added as separate packages, not meta packages. Which means I can deinstall KDE Connect separately, without any complaints about Plasma Meta being broken. That's great 👍🏻.
