WE HAVE CRACKED THE FUCKING CASE, I THINK WE KNOW WHY KDE KEEPS STUTTERING AND IT'S REALLY STUPID

Credit where credit is due @acidiclight has been doing most of the digging, I'm just a secondary machine

@Conan_Kudo @acidiclight That's likely an unrelated but also annoying problem, I'm sure there's more than 1 stutter bug, here is what Ritchie and Xaver (plus me as a test machine) discovered https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487043

Debian Breaks KeepassXC Package For "Security" https://youtu.be/9AV1Q-JfHpI

@TheKeymaker The issue is people got migrated over to a broken package

@BrodieOnLinux just watched the gnome video, i want to thank you for taking one for the team and suffering so we don't have to.

@Evelynn Which one?

@Evelynn Oh that one, that was a fun one

Looks like I angered the vocal dumbasses that pay for Twitter today.

@frog That's usually pretty easy to do, how did you manage it this time

If any of you are aspiring product developers and you contact me or anyone else, please do not suggest a paid review. If you are being paid directly by the company it is an ad not a review, I'm not against doing an ad but don't expect me to call it a review

I told you I'm not crazy and there is a giant stuttering problem with Plasma desktop effects like alt tab and window overview, along with the tiling editor locking up the entire desktop, I'm talking with @acidiclight and he's diagnosing the exact same issue on his end, this was never a problem with the Arch Linux package lol

Who should be software packaging is a tough problem, I can see the value in distros pushing for better changes downstream, encouraging upstream to change (double click in ) but then I see cases like KeepassXC where the Debian package is now by default broken, actively damaging the reputation of upstream but then I remember where upstream was left unchecked and hid bad code in plain sight and I go back around in a circle.

@matk Regarding the plugin thing, they're not actually plugins this is just the term Julian used. These are core pieces of functionality in the project which can be disabled through compile options

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@matk There was some discussion back in 2016 about reducing the attack surface after some potential vulnerabilities were discovered

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@hierodula The point I was making is there's no perfect group to maintain a package, there are bad/misaligned actors in both groups

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@taken Having to copy from a desktop app is just not as convenient

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@matk The result was providing the options to disable the code but the default remained enabled

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@matk My main issue is a lot of users don't see the difference between upstream and downstream and a lot of bug reports are being sent to upstream because of a solely downstream choice. Maybe it's going to far but I see why projects like xscreensaver have added giant "unsupported" messages when running on platforms like Debian in the past

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@matk I agree that they should typically end up in the distro bugtracker, the question is how do you most effectively make that happen

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@matk I don't think an email interface should be done away with, there are a lot of people who are happy with it but some way for non email reporters to interact I think would be a big improvement there

BrodieOnLinux,
@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online avatar

@matk It would obviously require a new solution but I know there are options out there which do provide both options. But it probably won't happen anyway

Give me your most controversial Linux takes that nobody wants to admit are actually true.

I'll start, Photoshop isn't actually a big deal for most people and it being missing is easier to complain about than fixing the real issues on the desktop

@akinzekeel Which IDE do you use, basically everything is available on Linux minus Visual Studio
