But you don't lower the amount of pixels you use. You just up the amount of pixels used to display a "pixel" when lowering the resolution. So the same amount of power is going to be used to turn those pixels on.
Well, whoever is developing it should publish the code somewhere...
Are you using the default Breeze theme?
I've heard such issues can arise with 3rd party themes, so I just stick to Breeze. I'm using Breeze Dark and I have not seen this issue on Plasma 6.1.
Fedora does not have proper h264/h265 encoding/decoding by default, since they are non-free codecs. That could be the issue.
I hardly change anything in Plasma. In my experience Plasma 6 is about as stable as Plasma 5.27 is/was. I rarely see a crash, freeze or inconsistancy I didn't cause myself.
True, but matrix does have the advantage of federated login, while Mattermost is 1 login per server. So I just wanted to add the information. Sure it might be overkill for you, but I'd wager most of the users here on Lemmy already have a Matrix account, so it would be much easier for them.
I did not mean to say that Matrix is better than Mattermost. They serve different needs.
Mine is around 10W average.
It runs:
- Websites
- my blog
- Jellyfin
- Home assistant
- Nextcloud
And a few other things.
Nice. I've been running Plasma 6 on my Arch test laptop. Not a huge visual difference, but it works fairly well.
Maybe install the nextcloud client on his PC and have him copy over the files there. The Nextcloud client has sync and resume functionality and you don't have to watch it like a hawk. It just does it's thing in the background.
journalctl lists PIDs, so it might have a corresponding executable name with it.
