Hi all, first time posting here.
Installed Fedora KDE Plasma half a year ago on a Thinkpad mostly used in the living room - for streaming / playing videos and minimal gaming. Having zero regrets. It is amazing how far we’ve come.
I have had very little issues with it, all being only slight annoyances. Nothing compared to win10 or needless to say the current abomination from Microslop… which doesn’t want to run on this laptop anyway.
So, here is the first annoyance: when watching a video with VLC, fullscreen, sometimes Discover (the app store / updater thingy) will pop up full screen, says “refreshing…” or whatever, clearly wanting to inform me of some brand new updates.
Question is, how to make it not bother me when a video is being watched?
It is not a big deal, I just immediately close it, rewind a bit and that’s it. But if there is some setting to tweak or some magic words to type, I am interested…
PS. I am so happy about this move to Linux. Thank you Microslop for pushing me over.
Ok, that definitely isn’t normal. I’ve never encountered that before. You might want to ask in the. [email protected] community for help. Do provide details like your distro its version and so on. You can open your system settings and go to the “about” or “system information” section to find all the details. It will be necessary to get help.
Thanks. I feel it is the automatic updates, which I have set to weekly, but I would think it were in the background and not popping up in the middle of a movie.
I also update frequently so I would have though that would reset the weekly timer but that’s probably not how it works…
Distro is Fedora KDE Plasma 43, not at the machine so no more details available right now.
