sounds like fun, wish i could go

as if i needed another reason to avoid nvidia. unconscionable move here.

this is just calamares, the most used installer across the span of linux distros.

on the question of why this approach vs dedicated desktop environment installs, well, ive always wondered about the pros and cons on that too. one pro is that with a dedicated DE iso you dont need an internet connection to install it. otherwise im not sure why people would choose one or the other.

yeah snapper is brilliant, and snap is trash.

LOL. respectfully, this is a hilarious question.

if i understand correct, base distros like arch and debian have many servers and this shouldnt be an issue. Perhaps the mirrors you are choosing are slow. Ive had terrible experiences choosing geographically close mirrors. If youre using pacman maybe trying rate mirrors or reflector and just letting the it auto select for you would help.

ty for the handy changelog link especially

never having to resize windows with my mouse, or sort through layers of stacked windows has been a life changer for me.

also, if i open two windows it automatically uses the space. non tiling doesnt usually act this nicely

i wish kde and krohnkite handled onscreen keyboards properly together. the windows just resize and glitch the fuck out unless its the sole window open.

edit - im a kde diehard fan and i never use it without krohnkite. but these days im preferring using niri + a custom mix of dms and noctalia shell. you should check out the shells, they give nearly a full desktop experience these days.

well this didnt go very well

i went ahead and told you what i found distasteful about your comment. and here you are just saying nonsense and calling people names. not cool.

ive been on lemmy for 23 days. this is easily the worst comment ive seen yet.

“all companies do shady stuff like google and apple” is a wild thing to say in an opensource community.

ah ok. thanks

i dont understand why this is a conversation. shouldnt we just have the option to turn it on and off?

check out Ly, its default is a black screen https://github.com/fairyglade/ly

incredibly unhelpful

trickles down from the base kde packages. this is simple.

it appears they may not understand rolling release, or proper grammar to describe the situation, but theres an actual answer to their question, which is anything but “not at all”.

they would still be totally wrong. it will be available for new installs the moment kde adds it to the plasma packages. their comment makes zero sense.

??? are you being serious? obviously fedorah isnt arch.

anyway, Cachy will have it the second KDE adds it to the plasma / kde-applications packages.

hey cheers for the message.

i dont think your english was really bad. perhaps more that there was a slightly unusual grammar employed and because english itself is so messy and confusing, that i misunderstood. also, my english language abilities arent fantastic or normal anyway, even though its my fist language.

in english we also say that people “developed” an illness, its more about exact tense. So “has been developed” just sounded a bit awkward and made me think you meant the condition itself, and not the study of it.

anyway long story short, english itself sucks and is quite prone to misunderstandings. thanks for conversing in good faith. :)

there is and i also think there should be.

but i would never use one or recommend doing so.
