The "Magic Lamp" minimise effect in KDE Plasma looks stupid, but it's actually kinda great for usability. I mean, it's *very* clear where the window went. I'm keeping it.

'Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn' is essentially 'Wallpaper Engine' but for #KDE.
Managed to grab MP4's from the Wallpaper Engine files and put them in.
The background blurs whenever there is a window open and pauses when full-screen.
Added some wobbly windows and a glitch effect for opening/closing.

Screen recording of KDE desktop with different 'live' wallpapers. It shows changing of the desktop via the right-click menu. Dolphin (the file manager on KDE) is opened with a glitch effect. The windows are wobbly. The window is moved off-screen to remove the blur effect on the wallpaper. Reintroducing the windows blurs it again.

For 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!

@… the choice is not at all weird, it's explained in the information that the FreeBSD Foundation has made available.

I delayed the update by a couple of months, but my main #Linux machine is now running #Kubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) with Plasma 6.4.

"you're about to ... want to continue?" Confirmation box from Okular. (KDE). A second line (a check box with the text "Warn me when I attempt to close multiple tabs") does give a hint about what the dialog is about)

I'm updating that Asterix-Saigon config (my Nixbook respin for KDE) bcs I just noticed the fresh-editor is of course available in nixpkgs. The breadth of my madness is astounding.

Liebe @… , was ist denn mit #KPublicAlerts? Die API ist stabil und rennt wie eine eins, bloss der Client fehlt noch. #kde

Been trying to reduce my VS Code dependency lately and switched to #KDE Kate, which actually has gone pretty well. The hardest things to adjust to are the little UI/UX differences that I've gotten used to for ~12 years or whatever.
