How is it relying on XWayland? I don’t know of any KDE Plasma components that require X11. The apps you install might need XWayland but that is separate from the Plasma desktop.
Editorializing the title and putting nothing but polemics into the description paints you in a worse light than it does the systemd devs.
I would prefer purple.
I am using Kinoite for quite a while now and not once did layering break anything. The only thing I notice is that the mesa drivers from rpmfusion occasionally go out of sync with the fedora repos and I have to wait a few days for an update. I think ublue would fix that but I am not bothered enough by that to make the switch. What where you trying to achieve that you managed to break Kinoite?
In case you haven’t tried that yet, maybe you could run it in a systemd enabled distrobox container.
Don’t forget that KDE is very modular. Akonadi, for example, can be removed entirely if you don’t plan to use the KDE PIM suite.
Have you tried plaintextaccounting? I am using hledger, it works very well for me.
This is a very old feature request for KDE. It has not been implemented in almost 20 years so its probably very hard to do with kwin. Neal Gompa thinks this wayland protocol could make it possible in future, but with the current speed wayland protocols are accepted, this could take another 20 years.
How do your Python problems relate to a sudo/run0 discussion?
I really don’t care about the command I use to get elevated privileges. On my Debian servers I use su
and maybe in future, if Fedora decides to make the switch, I will use run0
.
Sounds like you never upgraded from Fedora 38. Have you tried a manual upgrade using the commandline? Here are the instructions.
If the cosmic devs start to behave like the gnome devs, that hate is well deserved. Also, if gnome just abused their own users nobody outside of their userbase would care. Breaking something and then expecting everybody else to clean up the mess is what people hate about gnome. It is a pitty because it sullies the name of gnome as a whole. There are a lot of people doing great work at gnome that now get lumped in with these sad excuses for software developers. For example, I think the gnome UX on a small form factor laptop is unrivaled. My surface tablet never worked better; but I still don’t recommend it to anyone else because I know who the devs are and how they conduct themselves.
Now contrast this with how the COSMIC devs interact with KDE. I don’t know. Is being a massive cunt a requirement if you want to be a GNOME developer?
I love to see the progress Fedora Atomic Desktops is making. I switched to Fedora Kinoite from Windows and it has been the most stable Linux experience I have ever had. Updating to Fedora 40 was as easy as checking out another git branch. When I installed Linux I wasn’t expecting to stay with it for very long because I had some bad experiences with it in the past. As of now, I haven’t had the need to boot into Windows since switching to Fedora five months ago.
I am using Wayland and the only issue that is a bit annoying is that I can’t use fractional scaling because it breaks FreeRDP clients. Both Remmina and FreeRDP have issues when scaling is active. For now I just increased the font size in KDE its not perfect but good enough until this is hopefully fixed.
For streaming there is Wayland to X11 bridge. I have been using it regularly with MS Teams and it works great.
The article you posted is outdated. The last change was in 2022 and most sections are even older. Plasma 6 has full Wayland support.
