Why is the search worse?

I think there was a plasma desktop version that changed how the search works. Ever since this happened, the results that really matter are not being displayed first, which makes the navigation slower and counterintuitive.

onlinepersona iturnedintoanewt It would be most effective if you'd take your own advice - If I am searching through the start menu, I will be looking for applications first, files second and random directories absolutely last.

onlinepersona "Just don’t make the assumption everybody thinks like you do." <-- just by saying that, you have made the exact same assumption and are requesting (nay, demanding) that status quo is kept. 🤷‍♂️

The full VR mode for KDE Plasma continues getting more advanced ( www.gamingonlinux.com )

bjoern_tantau artyom How do you get that to compute?

The Steam Frame is a "streaming first" headset - because the onboard chip is too feeble for a full onboard OS gaming support.

That means it is a tethered device (WiFi or Wire - still a tether)

The Meta Quest series all support tethering (Wired - OR - WiFi) and the older Occulus devices RELY on a tether. The PS VR can be used on a PC with SteamVR so there's no stopping it from being used like that too.

I find your computing erroneous.

FauxLiving the Quest3 runs Android which is a lightweight Linux with a fairly opimosed proprietary graphics engine. It's literally a powerful embedded device. It's still too feeble for a full OS. The MQ3 struggles with the high-resolution, high-action games like Asgard's Wrath 2, not having enough CPU power for the location detection PLUS running the game. The Steam Frame is no different in that aspect, the difference being Steam realizes it and are't trying to gaslight you about the situation.

FauxLiving and what OP is doing doesn't require much - but I was't commenting on OP's post, I was commenting on the reply claiming the Frame was ready for a full OS. Which it isn't.

Oxygen: hover text not showing correctly

Is there a way to fix this problem?, some text is now being showed correctly like hover texts using the oxygen theme.

Bro666 Ephera this is it exactly. Those that take it the other way have a much too strong bipartisan way of thinking - everything is on exaggerated scales of a vs b, attacking the person, not the subject.

💪👏🏻 well said!

thor , 28 days ago

caseyweederman Bro666 that only means one of three things:
a) your sample size of Linux users is too small
b) the echo chamber of Linux users you measure yourself against is too homogeneous (and y'all happen to be nice guys)
or c) you really aren't a nice guy and you just look down on all Windows users equally.

There's a lot of nice Windows users - and there's a lot of not-so-nice Linux users. Don't get confused when measuring up people - judging a whole group from your POV isn't good at all.

KDE Plasma 6.6 Desktop Is Coming on February 17th, Here's What to Expect ( 9to5linux.com )

BlackLaZoR schnurrito That is not a function of a UI - that's a function of NetworkManager (or whatever network stack your distro uses).

As for WireGuard - it does that automagically across all platforms and all network stacks I've used it on so far - so if it's not doing it for you, then you got something screwed up somewhere else, deeper down.

Plasma is going all Wayland ( blogs.kde.org )

After nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release (due early 2027) will be Wayland-exclusive. ...

thor , 1 month ago

who Bro666 Well, it's good then that your opinion doesn't matter? No, it's not too soon. X11 was a WELL KNOWN security risk 30 years ago. For 30 years I've been managing systems, knowing that even an unprivileged compromise might lead to a machine leaking more than a sieve with its mesh missing.

Will it be disruptive? No. Will it change your workflow? Sure, at least in part, if you're a streamer or have some very borderline needs.

X11 is a cancer long overdue.

Going all-in on a Wayland future ( blogs.kde.org )

Well folks, it’s the beginning of a new era: after nearly three decades of KDE desktop environments running on X11, the future KDE Plasma 6.8 release will be Wayland-exclusive! Support for X11 applications will be fully entrusted to Xwayland, and the Plasma X11 session will no longer be included.

thor , 2 months ago

idriss Saapas It's still an upgrade we've known for over two decades that we needed. The X protocol is inherently insecure by design - showing its age. If Wayland manages to nudge us a little closer to the reality of today, that's a good thing - even if it comes bundled with some diaper rash.

@NanoRaptor You know when you run two high-voltage lines in parallel, how you sometimes get arcing between them?

We're that arc. A scorching and stinky random event wasn't planned and had a very negative impact on things around us.

In general, we are considered a grand mistake by many.

@NanoRaptor Once upon a time, I was given a Promise rackmount RAID box. It took 12 drives. So, obviously I filled it to the brink with drives - I mean - if one fails, it will tell me and I can replace it. Right? And the box had hardware RAID. So the server spoke SCSI to the box and the box... RAIDed.

And then it blew a PSU. And the PSU blew the onboard RAID unit.

And 10 years of my data went on a cruise in the aftercloud.

Yeah, lesson learnt: fuck hardware RAID. Do HBA and ZFS on JBOD.

@NanoRaptor Never did watch The Rockford Files (am a Dallas/Magnum Pi/Onedin Line generation myself) so of course I went to YouTrash and watched the intro there.

When you say "a certain generation" - you mean boomers, right? Or.. what came before boomers? Because that shit's old!

@gamingonlinux As good as it sounds initially, it's a terrible suggestion.

If you go to a restaurant and order a goulasch soup, you wouldn't be very happy if the waiter told you "sorry, but since there's a blue candle on your table, you can only order the minestrone."
