  • Kwin workspace rules not working and Evolution not remembering passwords in KDE

    Jump

  • It certainly isn't a permission issue like others are claiming at least for the window rules. It could be a bug, but as far as I know the steam deck does not use the latest version of kde, so it may already be fixed and isn't worth reporting.

    As for onlyoffice, if I had to guess. It is forcing its own window decorations and therefore you don't get all of the same options as with windows that use the breeze decorations from kde. However you can still create window rules for these window. If I recall correctly. The default shortcut is alt + F3 which should work regardless of which decoration the window is using.

    What does the kwin rule for evolution look like?

    Lastly, the password thing is the only one that could be related to a permission issue. I however don't believe you should start mixing keyrings. kwallet is probably already installed and running. Like I replied to one other person already. Both gnome-keyring and kwallet use the secret service standard. The only reason it could not work is if evolution hardcoded gnome keyring instead of relying more generally on secret service. However, I doubt that. You could even use keepassxc as a secret service provider if you wanted to. Although it is a bit more annoying in practice.

  • We're basically already there. KDE has already moved to the secret service standard that is used by gnome keyring. The real issue in my experience has been applications hard coding a dependency on gnome-keyring and not secret service. Some applications such as mailpring have fixed that hard coded issue, but it is still an issue in other applications.

  • MOS Is a New Open-Source Server OS Aimed at Homelabs and Self-Hosting

    Jump

  • Honestly, it seems pretty similar to cockpit which should be available in most distros repos.

  • Why don't more distros use this method?

    Jump

  • The reason most distros don't do this is because they usually try to steer users to their preferred desktop. I don't mean that in a bad way, but often they call it the flagship edition. This is usually the desktop environment that they develop and test. Think Linux Mint with Cinnamon, popOS with Cosmic, Zorin, etc. Pretty much every other distro that has options do exactly what you are showing through the use of the venerable calamares installer that you see in your screenshot.

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • Somewhere between $10 and $50 per transaction. Its not every month, but just randomly throughout the year depending on what I have.

  • Unreadable dark text on dark theme in dolphin on sway, fedora

    Jump

  • Dolphin should be qt6 for quite some time now. So you should need qt6ct. Also I'm not sure if either qt5ct or qt6ct is maintained. Their is a fork in the aur that I have been using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt6ct-kde, but not sure what to do outside of arch.

  • NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions

    Jump

  • I will use old machine until the damn thing quits on me and be happy.

  • Why?

    Jump

  • I have an Nvidia GPU, can I game on Linux?

    Jump

  • Hell, if you had gone from an arch derived distro like EndeavourOS and just clicked the nvidia option. It would have been solved.

  • PostmarketOS rant / plea for help

    Jump

  • I recently installed it on a one plus 6t (about a month ago) cause that seemed to be what a lot of videos were using and I read it had great compatibility. Never ran into any issues with the hardware buttons not functioning since that is a big part of tampering with mobile devices.

  • Can APT and dpkg be normally used on Arch? I just found out they're in the official repos now.

    Jump

  • You aren't meant to use them for managing your system. They are mainly there for development. For example, I often use them for a debian chroot on arch.

  • Linux Mint - Can't get Dolphin to work properly with network files

    Jump

  • Mint doesn't even support kde, so at best you would be grabbing it from Ubuntu's repos which is probably out of date. Which leads to the problem of people on fixed release distros reporting problems that have already long since been fixed, so In addition to others suggestions of testing it out on a full plasma installation. I would also recommend testing it out on a distro known to be up to date in the first place.

    DDoS affecting most of the fedoraproject.org services

  • First Arch and malware in the AUR now a ddos on Fedora. This is an attack on FOSS.

  • Or all of the above while still not being "as secure and private as promised".

  • Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower

    Jump

  • This article confirms my own experiences with AI. I spend a lot more time reviewing, reprompting, and tweaking than I save on coding. Having to double check or fight it to get what I want is not a time saver. Not to say that it doesn't save time when it is right, but the thing that I never seem to get across to proponents of AI is that anytime I need to reprompt or refine, I have lost. I have officially wasted time at this point compared to simply referencing the documentation. Unless I'm generating a significant portion of code which only needs minor tweaks. I'm generally not saving time.

  • Cloudflare Starts Blocking Pirate Sites For UK Users - That's a Pretty Big Deal * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • The only options when dealing with governments is comply or get out.

  • Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • Also PKGBUILD's are the superior packaging format. Back in the day people use to talk about preferring debian or redhat based distros based on how much they liked debs or rpms. Building packages on Arch is easier than pretty much any distro I have ever tried to build packages on.

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

    Jump

  • I used them for some things, but other things still don't work quite right. Take Steam for example. I do love flatpaks for testing out apps, things with really finicky dependencies, or pinning a specific version of a software that I want to continue to work in the future. However, for most things, Arch + AUR just covers all my needs without any hiccups.

    To me flatpaks are sort of like NixOS. All the benefits they provide aren't something I need on a daily basis. Rolling back works just fine 99% of the time with downgrade. I already have system backups. Despite what some articles might insist, things don't just break all the time. I'm not running untrusted software.

    Basically no solution is perfect, but they don't need to be. If the benefits I gain can be recreated through other methods without the tradeoffs they introduce, then I will go with that. Of course, that isn't to say they don't have their place, but sometimes I feel like some people think that "being designed from the ground up" to handle certain use cases is always better than whatever "cobbled together" thing we currently have and that isn't always the case. I'm specifically quoting those two phrases because these are the exact phrases you will hear projects using to justify their existence. In fact, I would go so far as to say that some people have outright confused modularity for "cobbled together".

    One last example I want to make is that I make use of projects like the fish shell and helix editor. In these cases, I find the features they introduce to be worth the tradeoffs and work better because of being designed "from the ground up" to do what they do. However, I don't make use of immutable systems, containers such as docker, or say filesystems such as btrfs. The features they provide are not useful enough to me compared to the problems they introduce.

  • Anyone noticing issues with 6.4?

    Jump

  • Nope, but I'm on Arch with Plasma 6.4.2

  • How to get AUDIO forwarding to work... if it's possible?

    Jump

  • Maybe pipewire and the ROC protocol? I'm not sure if it can be used on windows. You will have to refer to their documentation to get anything working. On Arch the package is called pipewire-roc. On Android the app you will need is roc droid. I have used it from linux to android, but have never introduced windows into the mix.
