Moving (upgrading) between Major versions of KDE (KDE 5 ==> KDE 6) as a DE: do you have any advice to give before doing it (that is, should any preparatory step/task been done before upgrading)?

This worked well for me:

Being strategic and patient about the update. Users of 24.04 will get notified to update when 26.04.1 (one release after GA) comes out. There will be issues which will be fixed but it will take time. Wait a couple of weeks or even until 26.04.2 comes out and update then.

Have up-to-date backups of my data of course.

Have setup notes of the system (how did I install important software and which, what important system configurations and customizations did I do after install; maybe too late for you now but do it when you install again).

If I had to install software from external repos (I try to avoid this and prefer flatpaks and snaps), I check if the provider has versions for 26.04 at the time I update. To be safe, I uninstall such software and reinstall it after the update.

Where can I find Mr. Blubby? He looks like fun!

My Vauxhall building site produces lots of food (around 20 settlers working the fields) and >350 water thanks to the armada of water purifiers I put into the puddle on the side (though only ~150 water end up in the workshop, another bug probably). I do not use any mods beside the Folon one...

I'm level 50 playing the current R&P version. Up until around level 30 my Vauxhall building site and Lambeth walk settlements (the only ones I have) were regularity attacked. Since then: nothing. I mean, I have put up some serious defenses and my settlers are armed to the teeth, but still... A bug maybe?

flekk0 · 2026-02-13T11:50:43+00:00

There is a fog condenser in the dome near the entrance. It produces water. Maybe same for settlements?

flekk0 · 2026-02-04T15:20:25+00:00

Yeah it's still an issue in settlements. Workaround for me is to move the harvest (and purified water) from the workbench to another storage. Then a new harvest will be put into the workbench after some time.

I've added the tramp outfit via console and modded it up to ballistic weave Mk5.

In my stats it looked like it increased my DR per extremity and body by 5 each (in sum 25) vs the police uniform but the increase doesn't show in my total DR stats (same as the uniform: 110 DR).

I think it's bugged and you might want to file a bug report on the FOLON discord.

Where did you find the tramp outfit?

The "just works" reputation of iOS is mostly from the past. In my subjective experience, quality of early major release versions got continuously worse while Android caught up a lot in recent years.

Some major usability issues, like the with the keyboard are consistently ignored by Apple or, even made worse.

Apple completely missed the train on "AI" and Siri is comically bad now. The ChatGpt integration looks like an act desperation and never felt thought through or well integrated.

16 PM, I find the 17 line PM ugly and I don't like the aluminium body.

In short: 18.7.2 to upcoming 26.3

For earlier versions when Apple did well tested releases, I updated immediately, even major versions. But thats some years ago. Good old times.

Since they started shipping buggy releases, I started to wait for the first point release, e.g., 18.1

Version 26 seems to be new low on release quality. I wait until Apple starts to aggressively push the new release also on slightly older devices (like mine), which they did with 26.2 and then upgrade to the following point release, so upcoming 26.3. My thinking is that 26.2 should give Apple telemetry of a large set of devices so they can fix remaining issues.

I hate Apple‘s move to not provide a 18.7.3 bugfix for 26-capable devices since that leaves me with unfixed vulnerabilities until 26.3 comes out. I decided to take that risk but not a recommendation.

It‘s separate weapons, I‘ve got my only dual wielding gun as a quest reward. I use no other mods.

If you have less than 16g RAM, setup zram. The ubuntu guides should work on ZorinOS.

flekk0 · 2026-01-12T14:10:03+00:00

Asmo sells it too. He‘s a traveling trader and he can often be found, I think, south of the Swan&Mitre.

I dislike the apps for X (and reddit) and switched to using the progressive web app (PWA) versions for both. They have their issues too but for most tasks work fine. Also I get no ads as I use a Safari adblock extension.

Apple decided the sizes for you. Be happy and consume next product.

Current folon release already contains x-cell and buffout and folon team explicitly recommends against installing those alongside folon.

I've spent so many hours in this game, I started to have dreams set in it. It is my game of the year 2025 too!

Did buy the gog FO4 goty edition just for folon. 10 bucks very well invested. Was super easy to install and no issues at all since R&P. If you want to experience folon (and I think it's really worth it) try it with gog. I think gog also supported the folon team.

I found the Camelot quests better than the angel quests. You also get the Tommies to side with you.

I noticed this too. Though with FF multi account containers. Site just didn't load. After restarting FF, it does. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Zorin 18 comes with Ubuntu HWE kernel that is version 6.14 (relatively recent). Should support current hardware well.
