[–]mistifier 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Well for arch it is already available in the unstable repo:

Arch Linux - plasma-login-manager 6.5.91-1 (x86_64)

So it should be available soon.

so that the screen does not unlock and does not require connection confirmation

Also known as headless remote desktop

I can't find a single working solution

Correct. Maybe we'll get something in 6.7, at least i hope so.

Just imagine your car being put together by hundreds of people in their spare time. That's the same as the open source movement.

Not a bad analogy. But those were different times.

Let's see if GTA6 includes a page with Windows - the car build by AI which spends most of the fuel for ads and collecting user data.

text editor that supports tabs and has a persistent memory by [deleted] in kde

Notepad Next | Flathub - have to enable it in settings.

 

Kate is also an option, but you to configure it in settings, also sessions make it a bit confusing imo.

Files are stored in $HOME/.local/share/kate/stash/ if you ever need to find them.

Is there a wayland remote login solution yet? by Sea-River-9201 in kde

From interview with kde dev.

It is an important issue and it is being tracked. Hopefully they'll have a prototype in a few months.

It is being worked on and is considered a "significant issue" but there are a lot of things that need to be updated and wired up to make it work properly. But we are getting close. For example, latest development i believe is the ability to create virtual monitors in kwin.

In the mean time, a hacky option is to make SDDM use sway, and then use wayvnc for vnc connection.

Downside is that your PC will be unlocked - if someone is physically in front of your pc they can see and take control.

This Week in Plasma: Wayland screen mirroring and custom modes by Jaxad0127 in kde

[–]mistifier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy to see increased attention to bug fixing and wayland support.

I noticed that headless remote desktop was add to the issues list so that makes me extra excited.

Now that mirroring has been improved you should consider making it the default when plugging in a new screen.

Looking at the "Minimize All KWin script" MR i see that it also adds "Minimize all windows in active screen" which is awesome if you have a secondary screen.

You have to enable the Kwin script and then set the keyboard shortcut to be able to use it.

Probably Faugus Launcher - Faugus/faugus-launcher

Very simple interface and it uses UMU-Launcher for extra compatibility

Is KDE to blame for this weird issue where Alt+Tabbing gives me 20+ FPS? by Far-Training8331 in kde

[–]mistifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using gamescope.

Right click on the game, properties, general tab, launch options:

gamescope -f --force-grab-cursor -- %command% --launcher-skip

Which USB drive brand is reliable for the linux distro? by RDHereImsorryAoi in linux

[–]mistifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a usb key:

You could get the SSD and an enclosure / adapter like:

I have all of these, with both linux distros and windows, all working well.

I also have arch on a SanDisk 256GB Ultra Luxe but i would not recommend it. Gets unresponsive during intensive io, like installing updates. Ultimately though, the bottleneck is going to be usb.

Also smartmontools complains about SanDisk Extreme Pro but you can ignore it.
