David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò are here ready to answer all your questions on Plasma (all versions), Gear, Frameworks, Wayland (and how it affects KDE's software), and everything in between.

Fire away, Lemmy!

We were expecting to be done in an hour and we have past the 2-hour mark already! Time flies when you are having fun.

Thank you for all the questions and the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, but the devs must get back to making Plasma 6 great.

Please keep the conversation going and KDE contributors will continue to answer over the next days as time permits.

Thank you all!!

I have a Lenovo 14aPH8 (Ideapad 5 gen 8?) which has a high DPI Screen with an AMD 7840HS (780m iGPU).

It's giving a bunch of memory corruption when on youtube in fullscreen, or before I reduce the resolution of a fullscreen application (Assetto Corsa Competizione is the only I've tried so far) from the native resolution to 1080p.

I previously RMA'd the Laptop due to similar artifacts on Pop!OS, and they confirmed the entire motherboard was replaced. However, the artifacts didn't go away so I tried KDE Neon which thankfully didn't have the same issues, until I tried gaming and youtube.On X11, the issues are gone, but as a fan of fractional scaling and touchscreen gestures I'm still using Wayland.

While this could be a hardware issue (I can't confirm as the laptop is so new not many people have it, let alone on linux) I'm sure this is software related because it only happens on X11, and I've also seem similar reports by nVidia users on Wayland.

Anyone able to signpost me if this isn't something KDE devs can investigate? I know a lot of them are active within the Wayland space so I thought asking here would be a good idea :)

EDIT: Looks like there's some upstream bug in the DRM with variable refresh rates and/or adaptive sync. Disabling it in KDE's settings seems to sort the problem in Youtube/games. Can't say the same for anyone else tho

I'm currently using gnome and I'd like to switch to plasma, but I want to be able to intergrate my google and nextcloud accounts like in gnome's online accounts section. How could I do this?

I'm currently using gnome and I'd like to switch to plasma, but I can't seem to find a decent wayland-compatible virtual keyboard. What would you guys recommend?

Suggestions?

Plasma 6.0 Release Candidate 2 is just a week away!

This will be the last test release before the final version Plasma 6.0 hits repos on February 28. This is your chance to test a nearly entirely functional Plasma 6.0 and help us by reporting bugs.

Watch this space!

There's some mismatch between Linux kernel 3.10 and #KDE that wants to use clone3 to create a process thread.

Do I know anyone from @kde@lemmy.kde.social @kde@floss.social who is able to assist with debugging it further?

The system call clone3 has been added to linux 5.3 but it seems that KDE does not do any fallback in case the system call is rejected with EPERM.

Can I set a global filter options to always filter all podcast as you see in the attached image?

Currently I have to do this for each podcast and this setting is lost when I restart the app?

Title, my network configuration in the taskbar is using the incorrect icons for incoming and outgoing data sent. Am I missing a font (I would love to know the name of the proper font/icon set that is used) or is my desktop not configured correctly? Using 5.27.10 on Arch.
