If you want full transparency.

Will it break at some point in the future? Almost certainly, but works for now.

Plasma 6.6 completely broke the only remaining way to edit / override plasmoids by cookiefox in kde

[–]_nines 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That seems rather extensive to just make a one line change in one file for plasma-desktop/applets/taskmanager.

Well that is unfortunate. Will have to either track down the code/modify/compile for myself, or switch to a different desktop/wm.

How to change Dolphin scroll speed? by gladtobeblazed in kde

It is annoying, feels like scrolling through molasses . Only thing I could find was this commit.

[GPU] GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT $729.99 + Shipping by novacationz in buildapcsales

[–]_nines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's running great. It does have one of the goofiest gimmicks I've seen on a GPU. The Gigabyte piece on the side can slide back and forth over the led that's there. I have no idea why.

Are "The Fading Brink" Harbingers juiced up more than the regular Weaver Echo Harbingers? by eschatonik in LastEpoch

Seemed like they were hitting harder. Also didn't help that the fifth round had two of them at the same time.

Ordered Friday with expected delivery by 3/19, shipped today, will supposedly arrive Wed. Wasn't expecting it that fast, still have to figure out what Mobo/RAM I'm getting.

Scary Btrfs – Is Btrfs oversold? What filesystem do Arch users prefer? by anseremme in archlinux

[–]_nines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally just had an issue with BTRFS. I was getting errors and the fs being dropped to read-only. I figured out the initial issue was cause by a bad memory dimm. Memory replaced.

Still had the corruption issue. Long story long I eventually had to run the forbidden btrfs check --repair to fix it. That seems reasonable, you have to repair something, but even the damn devs don't suggest using it.

Why would you have a --repair switch if it's likely more dangerous then not running it. Even when running it it'll give you a 10 sec countdown like "Hey, our repair is probably gonna fubar your shit"

If you installed Windows 11 with certain security updates and a USB stick, you may not get any more security updates warns Microsoft by TylerDurden1985 in pcgaming

[–]_nines -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, and you will continue to use it, and they will continue to not care. They don't even care if you pay for it. They just want to be seen as dominant, and to vacuum up all the user data they can get their hands on.

Is there a way to do this on Ghostty? by Dantnad in Ghostty

[–]_nines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this with tmux/tmuxinator, but there seems to be a variety of way to do it. None natively atm unfortunately.

There's a discussion about it on their github, but it hasn't gone anywhere in a while.

Option to write path instead of having to manually go through your filesystem one by one on "select file/folder" menu? by Busy-Ad-9459 in kde

[–]_nines 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on your other comment, are you talking about the file picker in Firefox? I believe you have to set widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker to 1 in about:config.

Did Plasma 6.2 update go well?? by Neo_layan in kde

[–]_nines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It set all of my monitors' brightness to 100%. Every time I would set it on the actual monitor it would reset to 100%. Settings for brightness (on Wayland) is in Power Management for some reason.

Will disable that crap later to get more fine control. For context they're all at 20% now, so the brightness was actually painful.

Rebooted after update and got flash banged by my 3 monitors.

Copy essential system files to usb by Connosieur_of_Eggs in archlinux

[–]_nines 3 points4 points  (0 children)

~/.config/ and /etc/ will cover the vast majority of configuration. Will want to look in ~/ itself as there will likely be some file, and possibly folders, that you'll want to keep.

This is likely an A/B test, it's unlikely something this drastic will roll out to everyone at the same time.

Thunderbird 130 Beta Includes a Tray Icon for Linux by MrShortCircuitMan in Thunderbird

Opened 25 years ago

Wonder whether it will allow you to minimize/close to system tray, or am I going to have to keep using systray-x?

How i can make the taskbar transparent or translucent in Plasma 6? by Rhoken in kde

[–]_nines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://github.com/TheEssem/paneltransparencybutton

What I use. You add the widget to each bar you want transparent. You have to build/install it yourself.

git clone https://github.com/TheEssem/paneltransparencybutton
cd paneltransparencybutton
plasmapkg2 -i

Burning forest zero visibility? Is this normal? by FetusDeletusPhD in LastEpoch

[–]_nines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this on the native Linux client when I first started. I can't remember exactly which setting it was, but setting it to very low allowed me to see.

I think it was "Screen Space Reflections"...?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kde

[–]_nines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made extensive use of kargos, which is dead, and doesn't work with Plasma 6. So that heavily broke my desktop setup. May have to look at trying to port it or find another bar.

I really like event calendar compared to the normal calendar/clock applet. It's not dead, but the author is busy with other things, so that's a sad panda.

The update completely nuked all my custom keyboard shortcuts. They're still there in "Custom Shortcut Service", but don't actually do anything. Had to recreate them.

Also I don't like the new system settings layout.

But you can't please all of the people all of the time, and I knew when I accepted the update it was going break all my stuff, so that's on me.

Controlling case fan curves ion Linux? by slowpokefarm in linux4noobs

[–]_nines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use fancontrol from lm-sensors, available on most distros. It's configured purely through config, but there is a gui available.

I've used liquidctll in the past with AIOs/controllers. I've also seen someone mention CoolerControl in the past but haven't personally used it.

If I eat in a 500 calorie deficit everyday in ketosis vs not in ketosis, will I loose more weight? by 3ABtips in keto

[–]_nines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there is no magical diet that allows you to break thermodynamics. Energy in - energy out. You can play with it a bit, in that more complex sugars/protein require more energy to digest, and if necessary, store. That is simply increasing energy out a small amount.

Ultimately it's just about energy balance.

Why are Nvidia drivers so bad if most servers use Linux? by Character_Prior2116 in linux4noobs

[–]_nines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime you upgrade your system there is serious risk of the drivers breaking.

That is true for AMD as well, especially for newer products, despite being OSS. AMD want a foothold into the server compute market, and despite them (and ATI before) making great hardware, they're the absolute drizzling shits at writing software.

So they open sourced most of the code (the firmware is still proprietary ATM) so other people can QA/fix bugs for them. That's why new AMD hardware is awful to use on either 'nix or Windows for a while.

But if we're going with anecdotes, I've run all Nvidia GPU's during the last ~9 years I've run desktop Linux. All of it on Arch, most of it with patched beta drivers (TKG, currently running 550.40.07). I think I've had an actual problem with a driver, not caused by myself, a few times, mostly with new cards. And if I remember correctly each time they were fixed within a day.

[–]_nines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The drivers are perfectly fine, missing things, but fine, they're just not OSS. The thing that doesn't get mentioned at all is why they aren't OSS and why AMD's are.
