KDE Plasma Is Far From Perfect

I like KDE Plasma for the most part but it has certainly not been without its challenges, you know it, I know and Ritchie has had his fair share of issues as well.

I just noticed that the names Brodie and Ritchie both end in ie. Wish you both had domains as Brod ie and Ritch ie. I don't know why, but this would make me happy.

[@no_name4796]

This is funny, because i also has similar though at times ahahah

[@greenrocket23]

It would be perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

[@aeghohloechu5022]

but a 2 letter domain is a country code tld and trust me, you don't want them they never go well

[@thingsiplay]

@@aeghohloechu5022 Not sure why. Itch io in example is a good working example.

[@XenonG]

Ie = Internet Explorer :P

[@bleack8701]

That's a running theme with Plazma. It's at a constant state of being 90% of the way there. There's always something that's not quite right. I just wish they'd focus on the core of Plazma for awhile before going back to work on all the frills

[@softwarelivre2389]

Fixing zoom on KDE would probably require a full rewrite of large parts of the renderer, which would take a really long time and lots of developer effort. But as I have not read the code, this is just speculation.

[@acidiclight]

@@softwarelivre2389 The bug on Wayland that I need to fix has a trivial fix, I'm just not skilled enough to do it myself.

[@benfurstenwerth]

Until they get the zoom issue squared away... You can always enable seconds on your clock. Even better would be to have a widget it was basically a stopwatch that constantly ran milliseconds and had the text color set to transparent so you wouldn't see it

[@nelind3]

4:30 I've had this once or twice with dolphin under plasma when its hung for a little bit because of a large network transfer though its usually very simple to just poke at it and it stops being grayed out

[@randomness0]

4:07 This happens all the time with Krita and sometimes for Firefox.

[@0hhStormy]

I have the cursor issue, but I like Plasma and Fedora got rid of Kwin on X11 so I'm stuck on Wayland, but it will hopefully be fixed soon.

[@RenderingUser]

I wanna ask if setting keybinds for switching keyboard layouts is still a multiple choice....

[@avetis2377]

brodie please fix that typo'd "like" in the description lmao

[@TechOverTea]

Thanks for the heads up

[@shelley057]

uvw said grey at times with an app i also get this i need to go to that app or workspace dunno if its fixed in the new version lets ee

[@igorgiuseppe1862]

11:09 lol that is totally xkcd 1172 or xkcd 196

[@Dobaspl]

I installed Plasma 6, I found the same problems, plus the eternal problem with Dolphin freezing when copying files to a slow medium, I uninstalled Plasma. :(

[@nategraham4027]

I feel far from good

[@TechOverTea]

We all have our days

[@SwiatLinuksa]

Wayland with Nvidia 555 beta - kde neon ppa added - working well. Worse is there pulseaudio not pipewire default.. tested 8 games - steam / heroic ,- works ok. Nvidia 1070 desktop. Movie will be today;) Nouveau works like always😂

[@acidiclight]

What specific GPU?

[@SwiatLinuksa]

@@acidiclight Nvidia 1070 8gb vram, from MSI. I posted movie how it's working on my channel. 2 games tested too. No issues

[@luketurner314]

Why would it have to be a video from the web? why not a locally stored mp4/mov/etc. file? Maybe also have it loop. That way the duration doesn't need to be hours, keeping the file size down. Could also be crafted to force a full repaint. For example, a minute of white noise static, set to repeat in the player; MVP (minimal viable product)

[@denissorn]

Live wallpaper?

[@luketurner314]

@@denissorn Yeah, that would probably work too. I just wasn't sure if that was a feature on Linux (I'm still a bit new to Linux)

[@Artoooooor]

I bounced from Wayland when trying to share screen in Discord. Why can't it just work?

[@acidiclight]

Because Discord can't program.

[@lucolesco]

Im not a programmer but I think that it doesn't work because Discord devs don't update the Electron version which supports pipewire for screen/audio sharing.

[@AbteilungsleiterinBeiAntifaEV]

Blasphemy

[@AnnCatsanndra]

Oh dang I hope that's a genuine typo and not a dogwhistle

[@bleack8701]

L is next to K so eh

[@SenorWhyME]

Really got to make that comment bro
