There is a workaround… But I don’t know how “pretty it is”. You can make a script that listens to the keyboard or the mouse (using evemu for example) and after a period of inactivity it goes xset dpms force off.
The proposal isn’t mine, I just read and shared it :-) The blog post has a paragraph or two about multpile subfolders, as I read it, the specification is not clear on whether thats supported? But actually: at first glance I think this would be better to have, because it would possibly make synchronizing to a new PC/Laptop even easier. However, this only works if any machine-specific settings (e.g. “offset /size of window”) are not stored in config, as that might break if you sync config between a multi-monitor setup and a single-monitor setup. This requires a lot of thought…
That feels way too nested to be useful IMHO. It’s great for packaging dev tools, but not really for handling config directories for user space apps. I just want ~/.config/KDE/<app>
I vaguely remember having a similar issue with a different terminal emulator. As I recall the keyword to search for is alignment. I think what’s happening is that the symbol border falls inside a pixel instead of on the border between pixels. This results in font smoothing taking effect, which produces that off-color line.
thanks for the answer! the only settings about alignment I found in konsole are under edit profile > appearance > miscellaneous > align to center, but it does not seem to do anything to the fonts
You can try and play with the font smoothing. Maybe disabling sub-pixel smoothing doves this particular issue. It would produce others, though. Or maybe it’s enough to increase the margin.
Any distro that allows you to patch and rebuild KDE packages quickly will be good. Personally, I really like Arch for this purpose because working off of PKGBUILDS just rock.
All I want from Digikam is support for Apple’s Live Photos. Not having a good way to incorporate those photos into Digikam, is a huge barrier to me moving fully away from Apple. It should be basic functionality at this point. Live Photos have been around for nearly a decade, and even rudimentary support for them would go a long way.
I’m out of the loop, but I used to use Slackware – largely because the distro didn’t get mad when I just installed things from source directly onto the filesystem. No dependency tracking ;)
But I had a lot of experience before that with other distros.
Good choices are probable OpenSuse (tumbleweed), Arch, or Neon. Actually, I don’t know the current state of Neon… is that still a thing?
