I know it’s called plasma, and I don’t know if it’s actually plasmas fault, don’t judge me, it’s for the meme

I just have “plasmashell --replace” mapped to meta + del.
Do you know the whats the difference by any chance? Would be interested
They are both doing the exact same thing. In your case it’s just stopping and starting the service with separate commands instead of restarting with a single command.
I totally just stole that one
No need to steal, I’m giving it away for free :)

If you disable previews on hover, it seems to make the issue go away. At least it did for me. The bug report I’ve submitted months ago is still unsolved, but it’s better than having to restart the compositor every time
Maybe your bug report didn’t get collected into the other bug report, but it’ll be resolved for Plasma 6 thankfully!
ah a fellow Waterfox user, flatpak or appimage?
AUR waterfox-bin, btw (¬‿¬") I’m almost glad to have made the mistake to install Arch because through AUR I don’t have to get involved in these flatpack/snap/appimage wars xD (also because I have no clue what I am doing, but don’t tell anyone)
ahah lol that’s fair, i maintain the flatpak so whenever i see someone with Waterfox on Linux I get curious. Love the AUR but I’m mostly on immutable distros so I don’t get to use it qwq
I actually used the flatpak on my mint install a while ago, had no problems. So great work for a great browser I’d say xD thanks o7
lol thanks, it’s more of a side project atm as I’m juggling school and running IT for my dad’s business but I’m glad to hear it worked for you!
Distrobox says hi! I used the AUR occasionally when I was on Silverblue and there weren’t any alternatives short of compiling the software myself. Or rarely if I needed a newer version of something.
Just curious, what makes Waterfox different from Firefox?
Waterfox is an independent fork of Firefox developed by Alex Kontos. It has several added features such as tracking protection, built in container tab support (eg private browsing in the same window, very neat feature), and Mozilla’s telemetry is disabled too. It’s a lovely little browser in general, I don’t know why I love it so much tho, you could achieve the Waterfox experience with Firefox and some addons probably. Perhaps it’s just the appeal of a (more or less) independent project to me, I don’t know. It has some history too like I think it supported x64 on Windows before Firefox did but I’m not a long time user so that might be wrong. I’d give the website a once-over if you’re interested.
Ahh nice, thanks for that. I like giving smaller and independent projects some love so I’ll give it a solid go 👌
Still don’t understand the purpose of wayland besides cleaner code and easier updates for kernel level stuff.
X11 has been fairly updated with all the features people wanted and needed anyway. Just because no one uses all of its niche and antiquated plugins and extra stuff, doesn’t mean its inherently an outdated program.
I’m pretty sure that recent X.Org server development has been driven by XWayland for the most part, the tags on repo certainly look that way
Found the Nvidia user
Some people have KDE problems because they use Nvidia. I have KDE problems because I switched from Nvidia to amd but there’s no way to uninstall Nvidia drivers in arch without a os reinstall and I’m too lazy for that (games still work, but many of my KDE bugs are probably caused by Nvidia drivers still being present). We are not the same.
Wat
sudo pacman -Rnsc nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utilsUnless you went to the NVIDIA website and ran the .bin, you're not supposed to do that on any distro unless you want problems.
Although it still shouldn't use an inactive driver.
pacman -Rs nvidia nvidia-toolsi kinda did the same today, but my machine was headless.
can you give me more info on why is impossible to uninstall Nvidia drivers?
You literally just have to uninstall the Nvidia packages
Similar to an official cinnamon feature that automatically reloads cinnamon if it’s memory usage becomes too high
These days it should be
systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.serviceI see someone else is also using waterfox
I eventually want to return to GNU/Linux, but I just don’t see a DE that has no drawbacks. The most reasonable choice I think is to just return to MATE, even though it looks dated and doesn’t feel to innovate.
I really want to try KDE out but it looks like a cluster fuck for me.
Plasma is fine. This buggy reputation is from a decade ago.
Which version of kde is that, I can’t tell. 🙄
