Well, one other nice native trick in KDE is the possibility to create Mouse Gestures. For example on my setup : - press middle click / move mouse to the left / release middle click = open Dolphin In the same way I open Konsole and Kate with others configured mouse gestures. - It also opens up possibilities with a touch of imagination. You could use this feature to mimic Vivaldi mouse gestures in Firefox (opening bookmarks tab with one specific gesture, ...) - You can configure this in : Settings > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts

Great video, and I would love to see more Plasma tips and tricks. You should spotlight Spectacle, with it's multiple global shortcuts and on-screen annotations. For people that like tiling, I recommend setting the global shortcuts for the "quick tile" actions - I've set mine to Meta+W/A/S/D (for up/left/bottom/right) to half-tile with a quick keypress, and you can then also quarter-tile by pressing to of those one after the other, so, e.g, Meta+W then immediately Meta+D to quarter-tile top right.

There is only one thing Microsoft has - one thing - that I'd like to see in Linux. Well, besides Microsoft Office and their flight simulator, maybe. That is the file manager being able to group items, separately from being able to sort items. I loved having each folder where item types are grouped together, and each item within each group was sorted by recently modified. Only Dolphin has a "view in group" function but all it is is a toggle that groups what you have sorted, so you can't group things in another way if you want. So close! But hey, at least you can have split views and tabs in many file managers on Linux. 😂

Thats simple. Hyprland, much like the renowned GNU/Linux operating system, stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts that underpin the open-source world. Hyprland, with its dynamic tiling Wayland compositor built upon the robust wlroots framework, beckons us to recognize the collective labor that has crafted this computing masterpiece. Hyprland comprises the core of a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor, much as the Linux kernel serves as the heart of GNU/Linux. But let us not overlook the substantial influence of the wlroots foundation and the majestic allure of the eyecandy it provides. It is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor with a pronounced penchant for aesthetics, offering gradient borders, beguiling blur effects, mesmerizing animations, and enchanting shadows, all of which evoke the spirit of 'GNU' - a movement to provide users the freedom they deserve. It doesn't merely stop at visual flair. Hyprland mirrors the ethos of the GNU Project with a profusion of customization options, beckoning us to exert our creative power and mold our digital domains. The custom bezier curves, akin to the GNU philosophy, allow for precise control over animations, granting users the freedom to dictate their visual experience. Hyprland stands as a monument to the open-source spirit with its robust plugin support, reminiscent of the GNU toolkit's versatility. The inclusion of tearing support, in the tradition of open collaboration, enhances gaming performance. The codebase's elegance and readability harken back to the founding principles of GNU, which championed code that is both practical and accessible. Much like GNU/Linux's fearless embrace of new features, Hyprland dares to tread the path of bleeding-edge development, ensuring that its users are at the forefront of compositor technology. Configuration changes are applied instantaneously, paying homage to the GNU philosophy of user control. Hyprland isn't merely a compositor; it's a dynamic workspace of boundless potential. Fully dynamic workspaces, reminiscent of GNU's quest for a dynamic computing environment, grant users the tools to create and adapt their digital realms. The built-in layouts and additional plugin options allow for a personal touch in the grand tradition of GNU's flexibility. As Hyprland closely follows the footsteps of wlroots-git, it pays homage to the legacy of those who have shaped Wayland's future. Global keybinds empower users to guide their applications, echoing the principles of user freedom that underpin the GNU movement. Be it the structured elegance of tiling, the flexibility of pseudotiling, the expansiveness of floating, or the immersive allure of fullscreen windows, Hyprland, like GNU/Linux, is a manifestation of user choice. Special workspaces, known as scratchpads, elevate organization to an art form, while the concept of window groups in tabbed mode adds a layer of elegance to window management. The rules governing windows, monitors, and layers are a testament to Hyprland's commitment to organization, akin to the GNU philosophy's commitment to structured software development. IPC communication occurs via sockets, fostering seamless interprocess communication in a manner that mirrors the open-source spirit. Hyprland doesn't merely stop at aesthetics and functionality but extends its reach to embrace native Input Method Editor (IME) and Input Panels, transcending language and input barriers. These are but a few gems in the vast treasure trove of features that Hyprland offers. In essence, much like GNU/Linux, Hyprland is a paean to the ideals of collaborative open-source development, where a myriad of components converge to create a rich and empowering computing experience. It invites users to transcend the ordinary and immerse themselves in a world of computing excellence, echoing the ideals of the GNU movement. @got-any-updog

I falled in love again with KDE ♥ I was testing with GNOME and Cosmic in VMs to try to work on them for a while meanwhile waiting for Plasma 6, but up to what i found lacking in my usual workflow and specially after this video where I discovered new features that I was ignoring after years having KDE as my main DE, I see clearly that Plasma is what suits the best to my usual workflow, even if I provably would have no major issues adapting to other DEs, but the grade of personalization with kwin, the plasmoids that you can put either in the desktop or in the bar, the capabilities of dolphin, konsole (and his dorpdown alternative called yakuake)... I felt so limited trying plain GNOME willing to not depend of third party extensions that could break on the next major release... Also, with KDE, I use KDE Neon because for me gives the best combination of an LTS kernel (frankly I don care too much about the latest kernel features) and the most up to date DE experience. If I see about some new shenanigan coming to plasma, in a few weeks I have it 😋

Thanks Nick. The Super key and right click mouse works great on windows to resize as sometimes with some apps finding the edges can be tricky. This makes it certain you'll resize a window without the mucking around. And I didn't know that trick about dragging and dropping an image into Dolphin! Cool bananas. But one thing I noticed is that image files will be different sizes depending on which way you do it. One of things I normally do when I install KDE is add power button widgets to the task bar so it's easy to shut it down with one click. I also add a memory widget too. I've only just also worked out how to add a page of resource usage to System Monitor for total CPU usage which is handy when I'm converting videos over with Handbrake.

I switched to Neon KDE Plasma from Pop!_OS and then immediately switched back, then moved over to Mint 21.2 Cinnamon because with gaming the FPS was 1/2 (60 ---> 30). I suspected that it might have been the NVidia drivers, but it just works in Mint and Pop and didn't have time to play around and try various things. I like KDE Plasma but not gaming full speed is a show stopper. Nick, I think you do a fantastic job on videos and keep up the good work. My only wish list item would be a KDE Video on setting up gaming properly.

Linux is such a gem! Please, make more videos like that to go deeper in KDE customization! Also, I'm so impatient to install Plasma 6!!! (je préfèrerais écrire en français, je pense que ma syntaxe serait meilleure...)

Will have to watch this again. 'Twas a lot! I would like a video on Window Rules though. I have no idea what I'm doing there lol. P.S. My MacBook Pro has two keys, one for Mission Control and one for the Dashboard on OS X. I use these for Overview and KRunner, respectively, in Plasma. Being able to change what you get by hitting Super is good to know though. All that's left is to have CMD act as CTRL, and CTRL act as Super - because I only have one of the latter on the left side and it's less comfortable to use a wide range of hotkeys like this.

KDE Plasma is so perfect for me who likes to tinker nonstop. I only just recently switched over from Mac, Windows, and previously Chromebook, and I'm kicking myself for not going to Linux sooner

You made me switch from Gnome to Fedora KDE Plasma now. The features are amazing. Gnome is too slow in developing. Merci!

KDE is brilliant, personally I like the eye candy, wobbly windows, exploding windows, desktop cube etc. Overall a great Desktop experience.
