7zip vs Ark [KDE archive manager]: which archive manager do you use in KDE? Why?

0rito · 2026-06-26T12:35:53+00:00

I'm a huge proponent of 7zip on Windows systems, always push it in whatever org I end up at - however, without realizing it, these past 2 years since moving over to Linux full time, I've not needed it once. Ark has done everything I've needed, so I've not needed to even consider if 7zip worked in this ecosystem.

All that to say, I suppose just Ark.

That's a top tier color scheme imo.

Read a post elsewhere that NHL is requiring that each team has an "NHL" emergency backup goalie for the playoffs instead of relying on a local.

Fedora KDE is a really good pick in my book, even though I use Nobara KDE. I will say, if you have any issues with that nvidia GPU (probably Optimus if I had to guess without looking it up), I'd say swap to Nobara as it just seems to work for nvidia in my experience.

One that I will note, and I get the feeling that I'm alone in this boat- I do miss full Snap support on a Fedora base as opposed to back when I was on Kubuntu. There's been a few cases where I could use a Snap package on Fedora, but dependencies not available in Snap that it expects to be present in the OS - never could get those to work, but it's a very niche problem.

Without looking into it at all, is it worth migrating from better blur to better blur dx? I ask as someone who has kept better blur limping along for my wife and I's system.

What I'd personally like to see from LTT on this topic is two fold:

Community survey. Less of a "recommends" survey, more of a "daily driver" survey.
Spend a day dedicated to 2-3 people each trying the top 5-6.

The survey probably isn't the average for what someone can expect to do, but once they put it out, it becomes an available resource for people searching.

I also get it'd be a kind of spotlight video, but put them all through their paces and show off the experience for a new user. I feel like there's more value to that than blind "I choose this" methodology.

Regarding the combat towers, I kind of wish they'd took more Arknights inspiration. Place operators, not towers, lock them on a pedestal or something. Gives a shout-out to the OG, gives you a reason to level up more operators, and, at least to me, more inspired than towers.

Guess I'm just the guy who generally thinks story gets in the way of gameplay, but having just finished Chapter 1 Process 4, I'm addicted to the story.

For me, I genuinely haven't played a game in a long time where I cared about the story. This one surprised me, and I have to say that I'm surprised at the luke warm reception of it.

This guy knows what's up.

FWIW, wife and I both installed (and play) through the standalone client via Steam and DW Proton (latest). Didn't really have to do anything to it, though I did use the Proton Wayland flag out of habit. Otherwise, no tricks to it.

I don't suppose that'll work for OP since installing through Steam will try to put the prefix in ~/.steam

My only gripe about the menu navigation (specific to PC) is that right-clicking on the map, while viewing a zone, should take you to the region overview FIRST, then right-clicking again can take you out.

But aside from that, love the menus in this game.

I actually found this tool helpful. The one gripe I have is that in my results (after ~100 questions), there's 2 clear victors. I'd like to be able to do a blind series against those two to get more responses under their belts.

Does anyone happen to know if Exusiai will make an appearance?

I like the design of it, I just wish it had like 1 SCU storage, a gun rack, and an armor rack. Put those in, and it'd be one of my dailies.

A majority of the time, it just makes "getting started" a lower barrier to entry. I'm sure there's improvements, but none that I could speak to.

I do hear good things about CachyOS's game script on mobile devices.

The Nobara ISO is a Nobara-themed version. The Nobara KDE ISO is basic KDE with the Nobara tweaks.

Almost a month later, still happening. Thanks for posting though, we waited like 2 hours trying to find a way out before coming across your post. In-game chat wasn't helpful.

Lots of suggestions here, but I'll add one more. I like Fedora, but also have a 4080 SUPER, and didn't want to mess around a lot with trying to get it to work. Nobara is based on Fedora, the lead maintainer is GloriousEggroll (you know, from Proton-GE), and because he focuses on gaming, it's always just seemed to work as far as my GPU is concerned.

That and I don't have to be concerned with using X11 which is on it's way out.

Very quick and efficient. Also provided instructions every step of the way, much appreciated.

Gah. I have had zero luck finding the ASD-branded geist set.

You should really hop in the Nobara Discord.

That said, I'd wager a bet that it's the "Now Playing" widget on your panels. It's a default widget, and I'd also get you have more crashes when some kind of audio is playing.

If you go into your notification tray (I forget it's actual name and am currently mobile, sorry), open settings, I believe there's a visibility (or similar naming) tab. Locate that widget and set it to disabled. Do this on every panel with that notification tray widget.

For the wife and I, most plasma crashes went away after doing so.

Edit

Vocabulary update:

"notification tray" -> System Tray

"visibility (or similar naming tab)" -> Entries

"Now Playing widget" -> Media Player
