I'm on like day 4 of trying to get used to #gnome on Ubuntu 24.04 and this evening, suddenly and without explanation, gdm3 no longer starts, meaning I can't login to a Wayland session.

Trying to switch to #kde plasma now and wipe gnome of this junk heap.

Microsoft is experimenting with re-creating KRunner, more than a decade after Plasma had it 🙂

@DevWouter

Another excellent perspective on the subject at hand

This is what I Love 💕 about the FediVerse. Dynamic and open discussions on various matters in a civil way

#TIL that applications from @FlatpakApps@fosstodon.org integrate much better than Snap with the rest of my #KDE desktop in #Kubuntu. They appear correctly in the application launcher, keep being pinned to the taskbar through updating, and have better metadata in the Discover app.

@Andi_Berlin verstehe ich, bin nach "Ausflügen" in diverse Richtungen nun auch schon eine Weile auf Fedora KDE. Für mich der perfekte Mix aus Aktualität und Stabilitiät für Gsming und Büro.

I'm streaming KDE docs:

Be sure to join and ask any questions related to KDE and I'll try my best to answer them.

Every single stream I do is an Ask Me Anything KDE Edition ™️

Today I'll see about improving KConfig (which @me was curious about :P) and maybe play a bit of beginner Super Mario World kaizo romhacks in the end.

I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.

There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.

For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.

And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.

Cropped screenshot showing the KDE Menu Editor app with the resultant right-click desktop menu beside it. Nothing fancy, just basic usability and customization.

Ich war Linux Mint etwas überdrüssig. Mir war nach was neuem. Und so habe ich heute spontan Mint von meiner Platte geworfen, und tobe mich nun mit Fedora KDE aus. Das habe ich zuvor in einer VM ausprobiert. Und nun auf meinem Hauptsystem. Drucker und Scanner laufen. Das ist erst mal das Wichtigste. Ich bin gespannt auf das was mich da in Zukunft erwartet.

I've read your responses to my toot twice. Thank you 💕 for reacting.

IMHO your though process does not justify the hate you've got for localsend.

Your hate towards, the for you unknown program, localsend is **unfounded*"

Cherish the fact that there is choice and diversity in OpenSource programming.

Stable release versions for synchronizing files exist since the 1970s, not the 1990s. You've clearly not been around long enough to realize that fact **

Ever since plain simple sh existed, such programs were coded. One such program was coded more than fifty years ago and is still in active use.

Please be so kind to use wisdom and intelligence when you react and respond to toots. You acted like a typical snobbish Linux user. Reactions like yours don't contribute anything positive, no one learns from toots like the ones you posted in this thread.

I've never had such responses from the people in the BSD range of Operating Systems.

Even here on the FediVerse the diverse responses from Linux only users and programmers were not of such nature and low caliber.

I'm surprised, yet paradoxically expected your motivational chain.

** If you have been around long enough, to know open source code from the 1970s, look in the mirror and ask yourself why you have reacted in such a manner .

I will still wish you a good day / night, wherever you may reside.

After testing out #RapidRaw, it wasn't really what I wanted.

Took #digikam for another spin on some raw images, and .. ok, I'm pleasantly surprised.

Panoramic pictures were handled smoothly, HDR merge went without much of an issue. Need to figure out some settings.

Don't get me wrong here. This isn't a shitpost about . This is about the fundamental behavior of a shell changing simply by the fact of it changing the method of rendering to the hardware. has many of these same issues on Wayland.

It just seems to me that there has been more focus on using Wayland, than delivering the same experience that was provided on Xorg.

Einer unserer Windows-Admins hat heute meinen KDE-Desktop gesehen und sehr interessiert und neugierig gefragt was ich da für "fancy Editoren" und für eine "coole Oberfläche" habe. Habe ihm ein paar Sachen gezeigt und er war offenbar ehrlich beeindruckt. Und ich habe mich sehr über seine Neugierde und Offenheit gefreut 😊
Vielleicht habe ich ja ein Samenkorn verstreut 🌱 🤞

After all, why shouldn't I browse for more #KDE plasma themes...
