Gentoo supports slots; which allows for concurrent installations of things like desktop environments. Not sure if it's configured that way right now though.
If you use BTRFS you could install gentoo on a subvolume and boot into it when needed too.
@arran4@voracread With some specific packages there are conflicts between different versions, so you can only have one at a time installed even if they have different slots. I think a few of the core KDE packages are like that. I know that I had to remove some parts of KDE 5 when I installed KDE 6 on my Gentoo system.
I'm not using Ansible myself, but I do use kreadconfig and kwriteconfig, and well, it does just have 4 parameters to identify a setting and its value, so that Ansible module does look like it's sufficient for that.
One tip I have, is that you can figure out which GUI setting corresponds to which config file change, by setting up a Git repo in ~/.config and looking at the diff. So, basically:
cd ~/.config
git init
git add .
git commit -m "original config"
# now change setting in UI
git diff
When you're done transferring that into Ansible, you can commit or stage the changes and tweak another UI setting, or if you're completely done, then just rm ~/.config/.git/.
I guess, you could also use this Git repo to roll back all the settings and see if your Ansible automation works as expected.
This is a completely different perspective from the current "grid" layout. The idea here is:
We have exactly N rows.
We have a list of "items", where an "item" is either a pinned (unopened) icon or a button for an opened application/window with a title (will call it "button" here for short, can't come up with a better term).
The row height should never change while opening/closing windows (applications).
The width of (unopened) icons should never change.
The width of "buttons" should be determined dynamically, depending on the number of items and space available. But I imagine that it should start from something like 300 px - something that could be considered wide enough to display "enough" of the title text (maybe 'px' is not the best unit, but just to illustrate the point), and only decrease the width when needed (i.e. no space left).
In the simple case when N=1, let's say the available space is with width W units, there are P pinned icons and their width is K units, then the available space for all "buttons" could be calculated with something like buttons_total_space = (W - (P*K)). To get the target single button width, we could do something like button_width = min(300, buttons_total_space / buttons_count) (not sure if the case of "too small button_width" should be handled in any special way - IMO probably not worth it).
To handle the N>1 case, the formula would become more complicated of course, as it would need to account for different available horizontal space in each row and figure out how many buttons to put in each row. For example, if N=3 and we have 8 pinned unopened icons, they will probably fit in the first row. Then we might end up with, say, 480px left in the first row and 800px in the other two, so if we need to distribute 10 buttons, we might decide to put 2 buttons (with width 240px) in the first row and 4 buttons (with width 200px) on each of the remaining 2 rows.
It's a "recently played" playlist, sorting it alphabetically kinda defeats the "recently played"'s purpose. Other playlists should have alphabetical option available.
I see, I've got confused since what you're showing is not a playlist view but a library view.
If you do mean sorting your playlist by X, then I'm afraid this cannot be done at all, the playtlist view has no sorting options at all.
If you mean sorting you library view (i.e. in a "recently played" view), some views (for example, "all songs") have this option.
Looks like a runtime is outdated and the repo to install a new runtime is missing. Then when Discover tries to update, crashes cause there is nowhere to download from
I had the same issue, I went to Session settings and disabled session saving. I can't remember the exact names of them but I think that you'll find it.
