I think Bazzite suggests using Emudeck, should also work in SteamOS

I think Batocera uses EmulationStation, which is what Emudeck installs?

So last year was 15%? That's 1 percentage point, but you could also say it's down 6.7%, although we don't have precise numbers to work with

maybe it needs to use AI to determine if it's a good fit for the community lol

What an amazing domain name for this

It's still open source, anyone can fork it

Yeah but it's a lot of users to lose, many people will be too lazy to join another instance

Losing the communities would have an interesting effect though

I guess people leave Reddit for all different reasons, or mostly it's about new users starting with Facebook groups instead of Reddit

[-] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 5 points 6 days ago

People may be cutting back on Reddit, but they do not seem to be bringing those discussions here. Perhaps people are discoursing more IRL rather than social media.

Or Facebook, Facebook groups are massively popular

EDIT: v0.9 released

and a dark version


I really just put a bunch of pieces together. Forked from Reactionary Plus, but swapped out the icons, cursors, window decorations, color scheme, and made some slight tweaks to the layout.

More screenshots and changelogs here: https://store.kde.org/p/2330858

To install this, open System Settings, go to Colors & Themes -> Global Theme. In the top right there's a button for "Get New...", wait for it to load (it's very slow) then search for reactionary, and wait again, then install Reactionary 98.

This is my first time messing with any of this stuff, it was a bit janky lol.

I'm sure it does, considering even my old busted laptop has hit the Steam hardware survey before, but it's not one of my primary gaming PCs.

Another way of saying this is Steam Machine is slower than about 44 million gaming PCs (30% x 147 MAU, a very conservative number since that's monthly and number of users instead of number of computers).

The fact that its GPU is slower than the 5 year old PS5's, and it only has 8GB VRAM, makes me question Steam Machine's longevity. And it apparently can't do FSR4 cause it's RDNA3.

It needs to be cheap.

Google Translate:

First of all, the ActivityPub system is not suited to something like Misskey, which flows at lightning speed.

It was originally designed to connect blogs, small-scale SNSs, and wikis.

How can it handle the TL hell where tens of thousands of requests fly in per second?

It's based on the idea that it would be nice if various small services could send each other updates, so it's quite costly.

I recently installed Ubuntu on my main desktop, finally switching away from Windows 10! I'm not a complete Linux newb, but most of my Linux time has been on servers via SSH.

I ran apt install kubuntu-desktop^ so I've been trying out both the default Ubuntu GNOME, and Kubuntu's KDE Plasma 6.4.5 (sorry I don't have the new 6.5 yet, maybe I'll revisit once I get that). I'm still using gdm3 as my display manager, I haven't tried any others. As for the included apps, I've been enjoying some mix-and-matching. If you just want KDE Plasma you're probably better off installing a different distro like Bazzite or Kubuntu or something. Here's my thoughts after a few days.

Desktop

I'm really enjoying the KDE Plasma desktop more, with a slightly customized taskbar. I don't like how GNOME has a permanent top bar. It's really cool that the login screen lets me choose between GNOME and KDE Plasma.

System Settings

This one really depends on the user. KDE's settings are expansive, you really need to make use of the search. GNOME's settings window is clean and simple, GNOME is generally much better for non-technical people and I'll be keeping my dad on GNOME, and eventually my mom too. Weird issue though, GNOME's settings didn't have my S/PDIF audio as an output that I could select, I needed to use the KDE settings to choose my audio output. Once I did that, my audio still worked even switching back to GNOME.

KDE Partition Manager vs Disks

Disks looks better and I think it does everything the KDE one does? Maybe Gparted is better than both anyways?

Discover vs App Center

Discover makes it easier to see if an app is available as a Snap package or just a .deb package, which is nice if you want to avoid Snaps.

Dolphin vs Files:

Files is the winner for me currently, it just looks cleaner. And a small thing but when you make a copy of a file in the same folder, Dolphin will ask what to name it, and Files will just append a number which is great when I just quickly want to make a copy.

GNOME System Monitor vs System Monitor

The GNOME one is nice, I don't usually need more than that. The KDE one is good once you customize it, but I don't think the defaults are good. GNOME has no way to show GPU utilization, so that's a win for the KDE monitor.

KCalc vs Calculator

I didn't see a way to make KCalc do digit grouping (the commas in 1,000,000), so Calculator was the winner for me.

Konsole vs Terminal

I have no opinion here lol, both seem the same to me.

Disk Usage Analyzer

I think this is from GNOME, doesn't seem like KDE has a similar one or at least it wasn't included in kubuntu-desktop. It's really good, reminds me of WizTree for Windows. Better than running du -h / | sort -h

Haruna

Seems like a pretty good video player. I remember VLC having super slow startup times when I installed it via Snap and I had to install it via apt instead. But Haruna seems good enough anyways. I can't remember what GNOME uses as a default video player.

Emoji Selector

KDE Plasma has this emoji selector that's kinda like Windows, you hit Super+. (Windows key and period) to open it, you can search for emojis and it copies them to your clipboard. Not as convenient as Windows, but I don't think GNOME has anything similar to this so it's a winner.

Clipboard History

In KDE you can hit Super+v (Windows key and v) and it'll open your clipboard history like in Windows. I don't think GNOME has something like this.


Anyone else running a mix of both like me? Or have you installed individual programs from each instead of the full desktop? Which pieces do you favor of each? I'm looking forwards to getting lots of comments correcting everything I said 🤣 (yes I used KDE's Emoji Selector here)

Everyone thinks the moderation/admin features need to be improved. I'm curious which improvements people are really needing. Whenever I see big complaints about it (beehaw, lemmy.one) I never see any specifics. Link the filed Github issues for them otherwise the feature requests don't really exist, and I'd like to give them thumbs up reactions so they get prioritized more.

Once I saw Beehaw give an actual specific complaint, and it was fixed in a hotfix (v0.18.5) within a couple weeks. Of course Beehaw never updated to that version anyways.
