What DE you like is very much dependant on your work flow and how well you can adjust to changes.

Personally, I love KDE Plasma. It's the right amount of "bling", bells, whistles, aestetic and settings for me. Gnome feels way to "simple" and XFCE feels reliable but old.

For me, the DE is often more important than the base underneath, but I do like my rolling release. :)

I'm probably in the 5-6 area. Maybe a toe into 7.

Nice documentation. Thanks for taking such well written notes. Starred.

As a Dane, this has been frightening for years. I hope our government thinks of open source solutions, instead of just a european company over a US one.

I think it's a great feature. I can now quickly find the thing I just installed in my menu.

They started doing that in a couple of years back. Saw quite a bit of backlash in the Linux news media at the time.

I don't replace anything. I just install what I need from the beginning.

And yes, I run Arch btw. :D

Already in the AUR as otf-suse and ttf-suse. :)

Syncthing is not a public sharing tool, it’s for your own devices. Perhaps you are trying to fit it to a scenario it’s not made for.

there are issues with the software we’re using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite.

I think this was the main reason for the Wayland project. So many issues with Xorg that it made more sense to start over, instead of trying to fix it in Xorg.

The difference, as I understand it, is that Hyprland is not a DE, it's a Windows Manager. So it should be compared with the likes of Sway, i3 and Awesome.

What if your app actually needs access to the internet?

Hi all.

Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.
