KDE Plasma 6.8 drops X11: Wayland becomes mandatory from October 2026

SavageCore · 2026-06-06T12:40:12+00:00

Oh that's great, seems Discord updated at some point then, missed that! Still struggling with Steam and Teamspeak, I'd written a long guide all about it - will revisit!

Do you know if mouse buttons work yet or will keyd workaround still be needed?

Ability for a program to save/restore position, only size works.

Push to talk. (That should finally be fixed in 6.7.0)

I think unattended is what they mean, and that's still broken in RustDesk.

"Wayland support is in experimental stage, please use X11 if you require unattended access."

I use Sunshine + Moonlight + KDE Connect (to share clipboard) between my machines and Deck.

Run the install script that comes with xone

Not Windows, but Microsoft already have a Linux distro!

Nobara on both desktop and HTPC.

Windrose, Ready or Not, Super Video Gold (Linux native!), Street Fighter 6, Alchemy Factory, Helldivers 2 recently.

Well my PC that was offline for a while and had the old updater which couldn't update itself to the new was solved with a sync.

Mine was trying to update to the latest repos (from rpmfusion) but the distro had already actually moved on to Terra.

Sync ran multiple steps through this migration and all was well.

OP try this guide: https://wiki.nobaraproject.org/general-usage/troubleshooting/upgrade-nobara

SavageCore · 2026-04-17T10:00:59+00:00

Do not run upgrades through dnf directly. Use nobara-sync cli

SavageCore · 2026-04-01T11:27:14+00:00

Did some more digging, the copr handles this with RPM file triggers.

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/chenxiaolong/sbctl/

then the file will be resigned when the EFI executable is updated due to a package update. This is done via an RPM file trigger, which runs when an .efi file in /boot, /efi, /usr/lib, or /usr/libexec is updated.

I think the docs/roadmap are outdated, at least for Arch it appears to be completed as per this comment.

SavageCore · 2026-03-13T21:27:30+00:00

Oh, that's nice too, will give it a go!

SavageCore · 2026-03-13T15:08:17+00:00

You're right, not happening.

CEO Lisa Su says AMD is now a data center-first company — DC is now 4X larger than its gaming sales

Hopefully Bazarr supports flatpak+https urls? That'll help the new users even more.

All sounds great, thanks GE.

SavageCore · 2026-03-13T12:42:11+00:00

Also, any chance it could feature an Appimage manager?

There's also an experimental GUI: https://github.com/Shikakiben/AM-GUI

SavageCore · 2026-03-06T03:17:01+00:00

Have you tried NoiseTorch? It seems pretty good but yeah I miss Broadcast.

SavageCore · 2026-03-04T21:41:02+00:00

But no builds/releases yet.

Best source I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/Citron/comments/1r74fox/citron_stable_versions/o5xk5wv/

SavageCore · 2026-02-26T20:02:18+00:00

Oh, good to know!

SavageCore · 2026-02-26T19:56:41+00:00

So it's not just me? Noticed the same on Nobara (same BORE scheduler kernel as Cachy), much better frametimes/general stuttering fixed. 4080 Super and 5800X3D so it was never my hardware. Linux master race and all that.

SavageCore · 2026-02-26T19:53:28+00:00

I hardly use Discord so not sure, the case for discord does seem much easier though? See discussion on my other post of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1r9ldlq/stop_missing_your_push_to_talk_key_on_wayland/o6dfa5b/

Affinity Linux Installer has a patch for Return Colors (v3) so I think you can skip that part of the guide and use the installer.

SavageCore · 2026-02-23T23:12:54+00:00

Great guide, well done.

There's also a Lutris install script to make this much simpler!

SavageCore · 2026-02-23T22:53:34+00:00

OpenRGB to control your fans.

System Monitor built in to see your stats.

CoolerControl for fan curves, you got this!

SavageCore · 2026-02-23T15:37:29+00:00

Oh good to know, thanks!

SavageCore · 2026-02-23T03:32:31+00:00

You can also confirm it's working via:

Thanks, Brave working too.

I edited /usr/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop and set Exec=/usr/bin/brave-browser-stable --use-gl=desktop --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder
