Going to write something like Konfabulator, using Electron, because KDE's docs for Plasmoids are woefully out of date.

Narrator: Instead, he did nothing.

I was going to figure out how to make a Plasma 6 widget version of “Hello, world” today, but I’ve run out of steam already after searching for info.

Maybe I’ll do some Godot stuff instead, their docs and tutorials are basically up to date.

I would really appreciate the implementation of as an additional safetynet.

@rohden
Actually, we have been talking about this for a while. We really want a solid backup/restore solution in TUXEDO OS. If it will be Timeshift is not decided yet clear, but it for sure is one contender.

I have tried on my laptop. Seems all great, but I reverted back to . I prefer the simplicity of GNOME. Yes, you can keep Plasma simple as well, but I am too tempted to tinker with all the possibilities there. Looking forward to try out deskop one day, though. But GNOME has been my daily driver (on my personal laptop) for more than ten years and I keep it pretty much in its vanilla config. Most of my work is done in the terminal anyway.

@ferki do you have a large monitor? i found that the tiling window managers don't work well with them. i end up with too much screen real estate and the windows placed at odd positions. (32" screen)

or maybe i should just use a smaller monitor.

maybe there is a reasonable config i could use.

@snonux I mostly used only the builtin display of my laptops, and I now have a 24″ external one for my business. It's important for me to have the same (FHD) resolution, so my mental workflow is independent of which screens I'm using.

My window tiling approach is either the window gets full screen, or the WM distributes windows in an even grid keeping window sizes close to the aspect ratio of my screen (with a rarely used toggle to prefer horizontal or vertical split for the first split).

common linux-user FUD on FreeBSD forums:

> "modern wifi doesn't work!"
> "it won't run a desktop"

reality: user doesn't want to read docs/man/apropos

here's a Thinkpad X1 Nano:

  • KDE Plasma6 on FreeBSD 14.0R-p6
  • Intel AX201 wifi (basic wpa-supplicant params)
  • external travel monitor: plug-n-play, it just works

time required: 20 minutes of relaxed leisurely morning coffee sipping

@winterschon I installed Neon on a P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience

@winterschon The wifi connects, but it runs at 1/10 the speed of the same device under Linux, and it won't connect at all if you try to configure IPv6.

I'm posting this from my IBM Thinkcentre m90q running Freebsd 14.0p6, and I can't wait for the work on the iwlwifi project to finish so we do get the same performance as Linux.

TUXEDO OS 3 with Plasma 6 is available!

For the upgrade process, which we describe in detail here, we have created a script that will guide you through the changeover: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/How-the-upgrade-to-Plasma-6-works.tuxedo

KAdressBook is part of KMail and gets installed together with it. I don't use KMail, but I installed it just now and KAdressBook works just fine. Can you paste the exact error message about the akonadi agent? Also, if you start KMail from Konsole, there might be more output regarding KAdressBook.

I took the leap into on my laptop

I'm running on Wayland now

and it's remarkably smooth and nice

it's come a long way since the last time I tried it

I realize Plasma 6 is really new, and I'm playing with fire by using a rolling release, but the Trash icon on my desktop keeps disappearing.

Restarted for an OS update and there it is… right where I left it

Wondering what it would take to bring back Keramik + Crystal for Plasma 6
