Some people want to remove bloat to have a more efficient system

Some people want to remove bloat so they can fill it up again with their own bloat

They are not the same

It's not bloat if you want it

Time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.

don't love your desktop bloat, bloat your desktop love

[-] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I feel forced to use slightly customized breeze at this point, because every other theme I would like is either straight up buggy or does not support all of the features Plasma has now...

I love that many of the pictures in the bottom are from Rainmeter. A software for Windows that allows you to place customised widgets anywhere. So... literally have nothing to do with Linux

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Man, you have a lot of confidence in your ability to tell Rainmeter apart from Conky, Eww or the like, from just a handful of pixels...

Let's just say I've used Rainmeter a lot. And by a lot i mean for about 20 years. Is it possible people have created replica themes on Conky or viseversa on Rainmeter? For sure. I just found it funny that the image included Rainmeter skins. They're the kind of images you'll see as the poster for certain themes. And I've scrolled through more of them than I'd like to admit. And many of them are reposted a lot but use the same poster/thumbnail

Idk, default KDE is almost okay for me. I spend maybe 2 minutes changing a few task bar options and virtual desktops.

I used to go crazy with conky and icons and colors and a bunch of crap. Now I got work to do, leave my w95 looking desktop alone.

Ah but you see, this is my bloat! πŸ˜‚

[-] muelltonne@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago

Yeah - I like my stuff. It might be a little bit messy, but I like it. But I would hate it with passion if my landlord would place his stuff into my flat.

Well, that depends... How valuable is his stuff?

Finally KDE will allow us to save our custom desktop layout. I might spend all my weekends customising my setup from now on.

How so? I want KDE to remember that certain programs should only open on certain screens

How so? I want KDE to remember that certain programs should only open on certain screens

KDE has been able to do this for a long time.

System Settings --> Window Management --> Window Rules

Or, right click on the title bar of the window --> more options --> configure special window settings

From there, you can create a rule that forces a certain program to open its window at a certain location. And you can specify that location to be on the screen you want it to be on. Specifically set a rule for "Position", enter the screen coordinates where you want it to go, and select "Apply Initially".

(If the application isn't behaving under that rule, try adding the "Ignore requested geometry" rule as well.)
