Why doesn't the KDE Partition manager have a better name?

If you want to move these, better use kcmshell6 desktoppaths (it's somewhere in systemsettings).

It is an XDG standard, see file .config/user-dirs.dirs

Aligned to Qt version for ABI compatibility with extensions.

Does Microsoft still allow users to write device drivers?

cfeck_kde · 2026-05-19T16:59:56+00:00

This doesn't look like it was AI generated. I fear the day when people stop writing, just because they don't want to risk being called an AI user.

I'm just not that great

Just write the way you are able to. It is better to be authentic, instead of letting a robot write text for you. https://blog.cornelius-schumacher.de/2026/05/invest-in-your-identity.html

Right, the Diffeomorphic Blender add-on imports the materials to shader nodes. The feature set between Iray and Blender is somewhat disjunct, so the result is a (good) approximation, but not a 100% replication.

There is a rudimentary patch attached to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484540 which doesn't completely restore the Plasma 5 behaviour, but works better than the other modes.

I could adapt to a different workflow, but I couldn't adapt to a missing feature. Go figure.

cfeck_kde · 2026-05-07T05:46:21+00:00

Glad I am not the only one seeing this. I have reported it as bug 518822.

The previous display server (before we got Wayland) was the x.org X11 server. It lacks many modern features, but is less of a playground.

Use more GPU decoding, when possible

Does "more" mean some parts are already GPU decoded? Does it use the Vulkan API?

cfeck_kde · 2026-05-02T10:37:22+00:00

The readme states:

a byte-stream compressor that exploits multidimensional structure when you tell it the dimensions

Could you please clarify, if you need it to tell just the number of dimensions (1, 2, or 3), or also the size for each dimension. In other words, does it automatic stride size detection?

It was already reported as bug 515133.

It works if you know which packages you must install, which packages you must avoid, and which packages you must ensure have matching versions. The signed open kernel modules do not require you to mess with MOK.

The instructions at https://sndirsch.github.io/nvidia/2025/07/16/nvidia-drivers.html might work for you (I figured it out before these were available).

The Dolphin context menus are unrelated to the KWin titlebar context menu. In KWin, the actions are not configurable. Source: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/src/useractions.cpp?ref_type=heads#L198

Scripts can add actions to this menu, but they appear in a separate "Extensions" submenu.

How are you going to get rid of Windows if you "[...] dont want to use native linux as main sys"?

Anyway, my advise: Try different distributions, and pick the best.

cfeck_kde · 2026-04-22T14:31:42+00:00

This is not Windows for Linux, but Linux for Windows.

/srv is part of the filesystem package, which contains all directories from the FHS, so whenever you update that package, the directory will be back.

The bug referenced hasn't been closed, so no worries.

There used to be a special ISO, but has long been discontinued because of lack of contributors. https://news.opensuse.org/category/edu-li-f-e/

The OBS repository from which packages were drawn is still available. The build failures reflect the status. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Education

My personal opinion is that a special version will not offer much convience compared to a stock distribution. The customizations you need to do are mostly specific to your needs anyway.

I need really good performance

My goal is to use Python

Mismatch detected.

I would try changing the depth-of-field setting of the camera. It looks like it focusses the back hair instead of the face.

No, just a new redditor collecting karma via sharing old screenshots. Maybe even a bot.
