@kde Any clue why the right click menu opens as a stand alone window the first time I right click on the desktop after not right clicking for a while? It opens correctly by the mouse every time after that but will open as a stand alone the next time there is some time between right clicking.

If this makes sense.

When you @ to [email protected] in your post it will post it in this community. It seems communities are also accounts on the fediverse, kinda nifty really.

If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

  1. Ditch Windows
  2. Install Plasma
  3. Your computer is ready.

A laptop running the laters version of Plasma, Plasma 6.

You literally typed this in a KDE community, how do you fail to know what Plasma is?

I'm not sure what there is to screenshot, it's all pretty stock tbh. I didn't customize anything besides installing apps 😅

PureTryOut OP ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

I think just checking the website is a better resource than the screenshots I could make.

And no you can not get this working with Termux. This requires a proper Linux system and only supports Wayland.

@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Not on this device but I have on a PinePhone before, works just fine.
Ideally it would use the desktop shell on the external monitor though, that sadly doesn't happen yet (but is planned for the future).

PureTryOut OP ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

I'm not saying it's impossible, I just haven't tried it yet. I don't actually know if it has the hardware for it.

It already has, NeoChat exists

They all use the same KDE stack, just the shell on top is different. They share as much code as possible.

AUA: We are the Plasma dev team. Ask Us Anything about Plasma 6, gear 24.02, Frameworks 6 and everything else in the upcoming Megarelease.

David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò are here ready to answer all your questions on Plasma (all versions), Gear, Frameworks, Wayland (and how it affects KDE’s software), and everything in between....

I have some very, very, very, very WIP KDE widgets for Dart/Flutter in a project running. Currently it has almost nothing but it already automatically switches color theme when you switch color schemes in KDE for example 😄

Don’t expect too much of that though, it’s very unofficial and something I’m doing whenever I feel like it.

PureTryOut ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

It’s not really KDE though, it’s kinda it’s own thing…

PureTryOut ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Yeah it’as weird. Afaik the apps are part of the KDE but the shell is not. No clue why, I’d remove Maui entirely from KDE tbh…

Index is, as you mentioned, really the only option on Plasma Mobile for managing your files, but Pix and Vvave can be replaced with Koko and Elise respectively. We should probably make work of that.

PureTryOut ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

It could, but it doesn’t currently. Patches welcome!

They have completely different client API’s so no it’s not compatible. Quite a different UX as well, I don’t think it would fit in well.

I’d love to be able to use 1 login for all of the Fediverse though, just switching clients based on the UX I want at that time.

PureTryOut ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

You can yes, but you have to decide to either be stuck with Mastodon UX or Lemmy UX. They’re both different and I like to switch UX whenever I please, and currently I need 2 accounts to do so.

Fedora on Apple Silicon, with Plasma and Wayland?

That's an impressive feat! Congrats to all the team!!! 🎉 😍

In my case I don’t have a choice in the matter, I need to use a Macbook for work so I can run Xcode for iOS apps. I will however have full control over the machine so am going to run Linux on it and only boot macOS when absolutely necessary.

I’m sure more people are like that.

PureTryOut ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

A bug, I have that from time to time as well. Not sure what to do about it tbh

@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Just make sure imagemagick is installed. convert input.webp output.jpg will also work.

Where is the source code for Klipper hosted? The link in the handbook was broken. @kde

PureTryOut ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

GitHub is just a mirror, actual development happens on invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/

PureTryOut ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

I works technically yes. However it’s UI isn’t optimized for using it with a remote.

PureTryOut ,
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

No email workflow please, I’m glad we got rid off that. It’s my one major painpoint of SourceHut.

Afaik Gitlab has a CLI tool (maybe unoffcial, idk) that allows you to create MR’s from the commandline. I don’t believe you have to use the web interface.

I’m loving how this gets posted to the Lemmy community as well directly from the Mastodon account!

@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

I don’t think so, it’s there to make it easy to read the text no matter what background you’re using. Why do you want to remove it in the first place?

This week in KDE: we modernized the breeze cursors, created a new banner component and released a "KDE For Travelers" webpage.

That just goes to show that we really need to get rid of the Google dependency in our life. F-Droid, Plasma Mobile, all great solutions that really need more mainstream use.

Oh, how weird lol. The Lemmy UX definitely doesn’t fit on Mastodon, now this “community account” as it appears on Mastodon just boosts every post made in the community, without context to the exact post it seems.

It is nice to be able to boost or favorite individual comments though!
