I switched my mothers Laptop to Gentoo with KDE some time ago and she did not even notice, because I placed the firefox icon at the same location it was in windows .. 😜 she noticed only that the wallpaper is different

Nostalgia for those 80s and 90s kids who grew up with norton commander ;-)

LGTM!

Nice, cant wait to have this

If I can get a taler every time someone gets a dollar

well, you can't keep every weird american racist issue in mind, there are too many

I just played it for a while, runs well, looks good, is fun! In the past, I also played nexuiz and warsow online, they are similar The latest version of xonotic is in gentoo repositories 🥳

cool stuff but what about packaging the games? only transfering files is most of the time not enough and games need registry stuff and what not and on games that need a setup.exe to be run, is that unattended like on steam or do users need to click "next, next, finish"?

Kscreenlocker because it came as default and I made it look identical to sddm

I'm running latest version of normal owncloud in a docker container. Is there any advantage in using infinite scale oc? Not sure what the difference actually is

I'd imagine there aren't many people in the world who could even attempt to clean up such code. since I don't use such old hardware and I think such old hardware for the most part does not use kernels >= 6.5, I concur with this removal

this "takeover" is imho a good thing. the greeter/login manager is an essential part of a desktop experience and I was sad that sddm was so left behind until now

but it has no xp, levels and drops??

I always keep memtest86+ in my grub in case I (rarely) need it

Transition takes time

I see what you mean, all their docker compose examples are horrible. not one simple deployment, like they want to make it as complicated as possible

Mandrake 9 around 2004

I think your panel freezing is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469016 and I got rid of it by disabling window previews

# systemd-analyze time

Startup finished in 39.050s (firmware) + 6.680s (loader) + 993ms (kernel) + 3.519s (initrd) + 22.326s (userspace) = 1min 12.570s 
graphical.target reached after 21.680s in userspace.

for me, most time is used until the bootloader shows up, because I had to disable "fast boot" in bios because it made some problems on rebooting. pressing enter in grub could speed up 5 seconds more ;-) gentoo, systemd, 2x2tb nvme, 32 gb ram, 4 hdds. could be faster, but it mostly doesn't matter because I power on the system every morning but don't use it right away

edit: on my server, which is not UEFI, therefore has no "firmware" part:

# systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 1.814s (kernel) + 47.640s (initrd) + 36.602s (userspace) = 1min 26.057s 
graphical.target reached after 36.602s in userspace.

and on my laptop, which boots fast AF

# systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 4.242s (firmware) + 14.631s (loader) + 1.737s (kernel) + 3.210s (initrd) + 5.136s (userspace) = 28.959s 
graphical.target reached after 4.936s in userspace.

Awesome

I use both on gentoo for some obscure or proprietary stuff that is not packaged in portage, like filebot, authy desktop, discord, steam and foobar2000 (including wine in 1 bundle to avoid dependencies and switching all portage packages to 32bit abi). It works well and opens me up to loads of stuff. It's freedom in some way.

Snap or flatpak makes no difference to me, they're just different backends for kde discover

No because Op's question is, what about those who do not confine to xdg config home?

thanks for the insight!

they don't care and as long as no court ruled, they do what they want, which will probably work out for them

Gentoo because it can do it all

is there a way to watch yesterdays talks?

I use mozilla thunderbird for rss feeds but it depends on your OS. Desktop? Phone? Windows? Linux?
