I'm trying to tinker with my system and replace a perfectly good and well optimized default kernel for some kernel made for specific niche use cases and I don't see any performance increase. Why would it be?
Yes, surprisingly the default kernel is optimized well rather than just being a badly written placeholder that users should manually replace for their system to become usable.
It's 2025 and stuff is designed to just work out of the box.
This sounds new to me and I'm curious, how does this menu fit in a small window if it has many options? Is it horizontally scrollable somehow? Does it block the user from making a window smaller than the width of all menu options?
Just for anyone who might be interested, to have normal menubar in LibreOffice one needs to search for background services in kickoff (or any alternative) and turn off Application menus daemon.
I was going crazy without the menubar. I wish there was an easy way to choose how menubars are displayed in KDE Settings: turned off completely, classic (below titilebar of each window), global (available via global app menu widget or plasmoid), or in a titlebar button that looks like a hamburger button. Also an option to invoke / show the menu via a hotkey (like Alt, I think Firefox does this).
Even better, have this per application or per window using window rules.
Currently app menus are a mess, unfortunately.
I might be wrong here, but looks like KDE devs think of app menus as something unused and outdated, something takes up screen space, and tries to find a workaround to save that space (global menus, titlebar app menu bar etc) but for some software (like LibreOffice) I think menubars are essential, and still want to have them permanently.
Hey, QR Scanner you linked is pretty good. Even has the option to share contacts into the app to generate QR code for them, which is something not every QR app can do well.
Thanks for the recommendation, I think I'll use this now.
Is there a way to use this as a drop in replacement easily? Like maybe move my Thunderbird profile folder into a Bettterbord folder, or maybe an automatic import option?
This looks promising but I don't really want to set up my email accounts and settings from scratch.
My wife was playing Baldur's Gate 3 on her windows laptop (GOG version, DRM free) and I just wanted to see if I can run it on my Linux laptop.
Just copied the game folder from her laptop to my external SSD, plugged it into my laptop, ran through proton. Everything works without any issues. Simple as that.
I was pleasantly surprised. We could even join via LAN and had some co-op fun. After trying it out I think I'm buying the game.
I convert from docx to md specifically with the purpose of getting rid of Microsoft formatting aka almost converting to plaintext but preserve at least some structure.
For working with PDFs on a page level (moving pages around, deleting, copying pages between PDFs etc) pdfarranger is the best and easiest of anything I could find, can vouch for it.
I modified Braus source code (it's in Python) to use private Firefox windows, but I don't remember the details. Possibly you just need to create a new .desktop file for private window and it will just work on Linux. Except that unless you choose a new icon, you'll have 2 firefox options in menu and won't know which one is private and which one is normal.
For some reason benchmarks won't load on my device.
Could anyone please upload the images somewhere else?
