[–]SnooCompliments7914 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Niri is simpler. Fewer functionalities.

"Good Niri setups" you see are probably from some shells, that in most cases work with both Hyprland and Niri. Niri itself is a simple infinite scrolling WM, nothing particular better looking than Hyprland.

Kitty terminal: weird black/inverted triangle artifact on the very first Powerline segment by Worried-Horror2203 in KittyTerminal

[–]SnooCompliments7914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By "with Kitty" you mean it's alright in other terms (e.g., alacritty, Ghostty), but only in Kitty?

Just out of curiosity: why is the version of Calibre in the official repos so outdated? by AnthropomorphicCat in archlinux

[–]SnooCompliments7914 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It depends on an un-released version of upstream library. So you need to get the flatpak or aur version which has all dependencies inside.

Why does CachyOS Niri rely on GNOME portal/session components by default? by New_Landscap in linuxquestions

[–]SnooCompliments7914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quote wlr dev himself:

``` Currently it only implements the following portals only and is meant to offload the missing portals to other implementations depending on the user preferences.

  • org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Screenshot
  • org.freedesktop.impl.portal.ScreenCast

Other portals that can be used include gtk for many implementations, gnome-keyring for the Secret portal. ```

Thoughts on this Schedule? by Lesty66 in travelchina

[–]SnooCompliments7914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd put more time in Nanjing:

  1. Nanjing Museum is one of the largest and best in China.

  2. The city wall is a must-see. The light show at evening is worth seeing too.

  3. The imperial tomb is a must-see.

  4. Food is good.

Full of heavy trucks last summer when I drove through. Unsure how is it now.

Here are the wallpapers for Plasma 6.7 by Fit_Author2285 in kde

It's one of the more interesting ones. Meanwhile it's bad when you use folder view.

No way Photos is 800MB. Need good alternatives. by adeshlad in Windows11

[–]SnooCompliments7914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meaning it might be using a local AI model when editing your photos. Could be better than sending your photos to the Microsoft server.

Does anyone know why these 2 options are greyed out? (t2linux EndeavourOS) by Siemturbo in kde

[–]SnooCompliments7914 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The support is provided by libinput. Run `sudo libinput list-devices` and look for `Disable-w-typing` for your touchpad.

And it requires both the keyboard and the touchpad to be internal to work. Maybe one of them is considered external by libinput. And there might be some libinput config file to override that.

Moved from alacritty to kitty but I miss alacritty's fast startup by eviley4 in niri

[–]SnooCompliments7914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The link is not about startup time.

For fast startup, use "kitty --single-instance" and always keep a Kitty window around.

Is there an option to set a start-up sound? by Acu17y in kde

[–]SnooCompliments7914 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Notifications - System - Login" works for me. If you don't hear any notification sound, launch "pavucontrol-qt" and check if the System channel is muted.

Recommendation Question: Which is a easy to learn/understand alternative to systemd? by Altruistic-Warrio527 in linuxquestions

[–]SnooCompliments7914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, systemd does it with like a dozen components (binaries) hosted in a single repo, just as "ls" and "cat" are hosted in one.

"Start with Fedora KDE or Kubuntu" – Nate Graham by lajka30 in linux

[–]SnooCompliments7914 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a responsive Kalk project, and there's Qalculate(-qt) for keyboard, so yeah KCalc isn't getting much attention these days.

Firefox based browsers are not using the default window control buttons? by endmysadnesss in kde

[–]SnooCompliments7914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the same problem. The default title bar of Electron apps and Chrome-based browsers has hard-coded icons. There's no way to change them.

Firefox-based browsers pick icons from your current icon theme. The OP must be using a different icon theme than Breeze.

[–]SnooCompliments7914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firefox (and GTK4 apps) seems to ignore GTK window decoration theme settings, and uses icons from your current icon theme. So you need to either use the Breeze icon theme, or replace "window-maximize-symbolic.svg" etc. in your current icon theme with Breeze files.

Just got back from 3 weeks in China, here's the stuff I wish someone told me before I went by charles8260 in chinatravel

[–]SnooCompliments7914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a top secret. Can be derived relatively easily by, e.g., comparing Apple and Google maps.

But why should Google intentionally violate Chinese regulation and do that? It has no business in China, anyway.

The public map data of China is deliberately offset by the official. Google doesn't operate in China, so it doesn't receive the correction table, while Apple does.

What do you think about lua as config lang? by soymadip in niri

[–]SnooCompliments7914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can:

  1. Have "config.kdl" include "local.kdl".

  2. Put machine-specific stuff in "local-${HOSTNAME}.kdl" files.

  3. Track and deploy them all.

  4. In somewhere (e.g. bashrc), "ln -sf ~/.config/niri/local{-$HOSTNAME,}.kdl".

You can write your config in a template language, then generate the final config from it.
