Linux@lemmy.ml•This Week in Plasma: The beginnings of Wayland session restoreEnglish
3·10 months agoOh yeah. Can’t wait for this. Bad session management/restore is basically the only major thing I still miss a lot on Wayland. Hopefully Firefox and other apps will gain support for this soon (I guess all Qt/KDE apps will get support at once when they also add support to Qt and KDE Frameworks). Anyways I just opened the enhancement request for Firefox for this just hoping they will add support soon.

Yeah, most newcomers don’t even know about the spins and labs since they are quite hidden. So this is a great thing for getting Fedora KDE Spin on an equal footing in visibility and promotion.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Yet another "What distro should I use?" post, but at least I did some homework.English
4·1 year agoI am also gaming a lot and used nvidia in the past and by the description you give I would say openSUSE Tumbleweed is the one. It is rolling release, but they also have extensive QA tests before letting packages get released as updates so it is very stable for a rolling release. And another thing that openSUSE is awesome for is that they have BTRFS snappshotting very nicely configured out of the box so before and after each update it creates a snappshot and if something goes wrong you can just select an old working snappshot from GRUB boot menu. And with Nvidia this breakage was happening well more often the I would like. I also like their Open Build Service where you can find many additional packages which might not be packaged by distro people themselves.
Agree and hope it brings even better GNU/Linux gaming support, as it is the OS that is in this democratic users/people owned operating system, just as other free as in freedom and opensource collaborative software. In this regard Valve does quite a very good job of improving and sponsoring GNU/Linux, Mesa drivers KDE and other opensource projects. What all other gaming companies fail terribly at. What comes after Valve must be even better at it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily usersEnglish
3·1 year agoWell and behind it is stealing other peoples’ work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What desktop enviroment do you use and why?English
441·1 year agoKDE Plasma on all my computers and also as desktop mode on Steam Deck. because it supports the latest technologies especially when it comes to graphics (HDR, VRR) also has best support for Wayland and multi-monitors. It looks great out of the box and it has a lot of features out of the box and I do not need to battle with adding some extensions that break with almost every update. KDE Plasma is also the most flexible desktop and I can set the workflow really to fit my desires and I can actually set many options and settings. And despite all these built-in features and configurability it still uses very few system resources and is very fast and smooth. Oh and the KDE community is one of the most welcoming I have met in FOSS world, and they listen to their users instead of the our way or the high way mentality I have so often encountered in GNOME for example. So yeah TLDR KDE Plasma is the one I like the most of all in the industry, even when compared to proprietary closed alternatives.
Those sociopaths burning the planet and pumping out all the water are completely out of touch with reality. They would rather destroy the planet for some Annoying Idiocy .

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezesEnglish
181·1 year agoCrashing is the smallest problem. All that sypware, ads and artificial idiocy they are embedding in the bloated excuse of an OS is way worse than any crash. I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop, after seeing how well gaming works on Steam Deck I also switched to GNU/Linux for gaming) and it is so so much nicer to have an OS that is fast, stable and actually respects basic human rights like privacy and freedom.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•The most promising Disco Elysium successor studio says workers must unite to topple Valve's 'digital fiefdom' of Steam
89·1 year agoI agree and hope that what comes after it is even better at supporting gaming on GNU/Linux and contributing to various libre and opensource projects like KDE and Proton and Mesa and such.
It takes one to know one. Not much difference, if any, between Microsoft nad Google, and the rest of GAFAM/BigTech.
KDE Plasma desktop and apps also have a Kiosk mode/framework for deployment and lockdown built-in, that can come in handy
Kiosk - Simple configuration management for large deployment
The Kiosk framework provides a set of features that makes it possible to easily and powerfully restrict the capabilities of a KDE environment.
Introduction
The Kiosk framework provides a set of features that makes it possible to easily and powerfully restrict the capabilities of a KDE environment based on user and group credentials. In addition to an introductory overview, this article covers configuration setting lock down, action and resource restrictions, assigning profiles to users and groups and more.
As far as I remember you can only compare after you upload a benchmark test/suite result to the site. For example when you upload a VkMark benchmark your result should be shown on that test page under Recent Test Results. You can then select your result and some other to compare them. And if you select to re-run a test suite from Latest Test Results the text at the top gives you the command to run it and automatically compare the results, e.g. for GPU CPU HDD Usage and Temperature test Unigine Heaven Fullscreen 2560x1440:
Compare your own system(s) to this result file with the Phoronix Test Suite by running the command:
phoronix-test-suite benchmark 2410251-MRPI-241025885

Technology@lemmy.world•Ubuntu turns 20: 'Oracular Oriole' shows this old bird's still got plenty of flightEnglish
84·1 year agoBetter to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.




















On openSUSE they have snapper snapshotting integrated into package management, so it automatically creates a snapshot before and after updates. And if something would go wrong you could easily select an old snappshot to boot from in the GRUB menu.
