This is wonderful news but seeing the list of patrons, why does #Valve not join the sponsorship programme though? - I know (or I think at least) that they often/occasionally sponsor #KDE (as an org, or devs) to do some work for them, and I'm not denying that they contribute a lot through funds/code to #FOSS/#Linux, but seeing that the #SteamDeck comes shipped with #KDEPlasma (which I still think is a really smart decision) and since Plasma is a huge part of the Steam Deck (literally half of the software exp), it'd be great to see Valve commit to a recurring sponsorship programme to the KDE folks.
They certainly have the money for it, surely. I hope this will be true someday.
I just received an email from the #KDE bug tracker about a KHTML bug I subscribed to 20 years ago. It was not fixed, but that's ok. 🙂🤷 KHTML was eventually forked into WebKit and in turn Blink, powering Safari and Chromium. Two projects that receive a constant flux of contributions by @igalia and are one of the focus of our business. Long live KHTML! 🥂
Does anyone else have issues with #Firefox acting odd in #KDE#Plasma in terms of focus and window management?
It will not want to get focus at random times, and I'll have to click on another window and back in firefox for it to become active. In these occasions, clicking within firefox doesn't do anything.
I tried installing the proprietary Nvidia driver on this old MacBook that I am installing Ultramarine Linux (Fedora) on, but it nosedived on a reboot, so I removed it, but now SDDM is showing distorted image on a reboot. Once the desktop loads, everything is normal, but SDDM does this.
I have released my first icon theme for KDE/Plasma as I have moved all my computers to Plasma 6 on Solus OS. You can download it freely at https://www.pling.com/p/2152387/
If you like it please rate it up and/or comment on Pling.
The cube is back!
The desktop cube, with which you could rotate the desktop as a cube. Now it’s back and can be activated in the desktop effects in the system settings.
Anyone from #fedora#atomic images are they all long term supported if not which one is considered LTS? I don't know much about Fedora or its ecosystem. Been mostly debian/ubuntu/arch linux over the decades.
Quite enjoying Ubuntu Budgie. Seems to be a little lighter than stock Ubuntu and with fewer issues? I don't know. I did a full install instead of upgrading in place. Luckily the laptop doesn't hold a lot of files.
I have settled in nicely to Plasma for my work machine. The project has matured a LOT in the last couple of years, and I can't help but shake my imaginary rhetorical pom-poms at their success.
On my home machine, it's almost always tiling window managers. I just love the clean, pseudo sci-fi look and incredible efficiency.
R.I.P Ubuntu
juro que tentei estar contigo mais uma vez, maaas...
É isso gente, depois de tantos anos (desde o 12.04 oficialmente) usando Ubuntu como distro principal, procuro por uma distro nova pra ser a minha main distro
Kate supports multi-cursor editing and custom hotkeys. Boost your productivity with the help of multi-cursor and multi-selection features. Kate now has it!
Switching from other proprietary text editors and missing your hotkey bindings that you are accustomed to? You can configure every hotkey in Kate so you do not have to change your workflow.
@dusthillperson@thomholwerda BTW, found this new gem via the Phoronix forum: #KDE dev arguing with #GNOME folks about their arrogant icons handling which is breaking on other desktops:
GNOME: »Icon themes are not a very prominent feature in current app development […]«
LMAO
KDE: »If this breaks GNOME, it's because you folks chose to repurpose an FDO icon theme to be something it wasn't designed to be which breaks its non-GNOME consumers.«
#Kdenlive 24.05 beta is ready for testing! Checkout new features like Group Effects and automatic subtitle translations. Other highlights include a huge performance boost to the spacer tool and improvements to multiple bins. Also, audio capture is back. 😉
@skerit I find that stock #gnome is rock solid but unbearable to use without plugins which causes all the issues with gnome. #KDE has most of those QoL features the plugins offer built-in and usually is more stable because of that. Though the only "issues" I have are some visual glitches with some of the fancier looking "themes". What issues are you running into?
