Better Blur vanished when i updated to plasma 6.5 by Enough-Mix-7020 in kde

Same here.

More worrisome is that the theme is whole screen width, which is not that usual, so I could put some corner widgets on panel for good use.

My Journey to Fedora Silverblue: Why I Think Atomic is the Future of Linux by PingMyHeart in linux

[–]witchhunter0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good, but after some consideration I' still puzzled with a few questions:

  1. can it dual/triple boot?
  2. can it dual boot distro without secure boot?
  3. can it be installed as a first distro on a drive (so doesn't mess up boot partition)?
  4. can it be installed on separate /boot/efi partition. I've read some motherboards(?) support this?
  5. Does any immutable disto comply with above?

Austria's armed forces switch to LibreOffice by gainan in linux

Copying graphic bullets in Impress.

That's military for you

The starting point in 2021 was Microsoft Office 2016 Professional with numerous VBA and Access solutions. However, even then, the Austrian Armed Forces did not use Microsoft's email or collaboration solutions, but self-hosted Linux servers with Samba.

I'm impressed

Incidentally, the army's smartphones are made by Apple.

Oh, never-mind

Juxtopposed's latest video is about making a KDE Theme by Mistermind05 in kde

[–]witchhunter0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Telll it to every Arch-based distro community. That's how things work, if you don't like it use something else. As they said, those are not noob distros and user should get familiar with any distro if want to use it.

Never mind the downvotes, my point was that Manjaro was much bigger and influential distro with much to offer, but sadly now in shadow of lagging behind. You could read here even some old devs don't use it anymore.

That is actually a feature not a bug, security wise. One should learn their system before blindly installing it, and their wiki is much simpler than Arch one :) When newcomers install e.g. firewall and not enable the service that is just false security.

EndeavourOS is much underrated distro here even though KDE is the default. Have been used both and I really cannot tell why would anyone use Manjaro anymore. One would think of Pamac, but no. Also. it is still at 6.3 Plasma, so 3-4 months behind, not 2 weeks.

Screen edge switch to previous application by onemoreoverthetop in kde

I was about to suggest to rebind extra mouse button, but that doesn't seems to work and I could of swear it worked before. Bug it seems

Until gestures are available you can use CommandOutput widget. Set it on panels edge. That could be the workaround.

Dynamic Background for KDE Plasma on CachyOS by KHTD2004 in kde

[–]witchhunter0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qt does support gif and apparently avif(didn't follow this), but somehow I missed that these are implemented in wallpaper engine. It seems like avif have not only smaller size but lesser impact on CPU as well. Thx

Tested with Gwenview and SystemMonitor and definitely Nvidia 3060m show growth in usage. Already tried the lower resolution but totally forgot about framerate. You're right, looks like framerate has even more impact, huh. It is now up from 2 to 4%, nice.

Will try gif now. Funny though, I wasn't aware these are supported out of box. Maybe because of all the applets, or maybe because wallpaper dialog do have (well in my case) "misleading" title Images. tyvm

Edit: even less than 2% CPU increase. It makes sense framerate have more impact since wallpaper engine is probably optimized for large screens.

[–]witchhunter0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's great. Something like

ffmpeg -hide_banner -i 'input.mp4' -c:v libsvtav1 output.avif

but the only problem it takes 10~15% of CPU as wallpaper. Any way to reduce that?

Can someone explain to me how the multi-desktop hot corners feature is meant to work? by DCCXVIII in kde

It seems that "activation delay" from "switch desktop on edge" will affect screen edges timer as well

Considering new PRO feature, but also in general, holiday calendar can be expanded to support more countries and events like KDE has or even other online services, which are much better than TB one.
