Uhhh. I’m gen z and everyone I know knows not to download software from ads.

Where is here? You never said where you’re talking about.

Banning vpns is an authoritarian move for a country. No matter which country.

I don’t think it’ll need breeze to build but it does need breeze-icons. Idk if breeze-icons needs breeze Edit: nvm u need plasma installed for it :(

I read through the comments and can’t see the aggression you talk about.

Tankies and fascists are just as bad. What are you trying to suggest?

Maybe all of the people yelling I can’t breathe really can’t breathe?

The reason why is because historically in Canada people who weren’t white were treated way worse by white people and even though things have improved today, the effects of that mistreatment still affects many people today.

What’s a natural monopoly? Valve currently has the freedom to implement anything they want within an extent because they’re so popular. If they decided they wanted to charge devs 35% would people stop using it? Probably not. Steam’s monopoly is as bad as any other for the same reason any other monopoly is bad.

I don’t necessarily think either are great insults tbh and it’d be nice to see dick phased out.

I’m pirating because its free, I guess that makes me an asshole.

I assumed you were on KDE since the dev who wrote the blog post was talking about KDE Wayland but are you on gnome? Gnome"s fractional scaling implementation isn’t as good as KDE’s.

In display settings check the box to allow x11 apps to scale themselves instead of the compositor. Your cursor will still be blurry but the app content itself will be fine. A few apps like steam won’t scale without some kind of launch flag though.

It does for me. For some reason my touchpad has really high scroll sensitivity with libinput. It’s borderline unusable. The only desktop environment that exposes the ability to change this sensitivity is plasma Wayland. AFAIK there’s technical reasons it can’t be done on xorg without hacky workarounds. This is the killer feature for me.

In addition both plasma and gnome only have 1:1 touchpad gestures on their Wayland sessions. Obviously I could use third party tools for trackpad gestures under x11 but those aren’t 1:1.

Also while I’m aware that fractional scaling on Wayland is a mess and hacky but I still find the fractional scaling implementation on KDE Wayland to be the best, followed by KDE on xorg. I need fractional scaling for things to be appropriate sizes on my laptop screen.

For my desktop I still use x11 because of nvidia but I would definitely benefit from the multi monitor improvements under Wayland since I have two monitors of differing refresh rates and it causes issues.

Assuming this is college, requiring students to pay for software is part of the norm.

Not that you shouldn’t install Linux but can’t you bypass the CPU limitation?

Look, it comes down to the fact that as far as I know, the vast majority of KDE developers are volunteers with their own lives. There was a given explanation for why it hasn’t been fixed, it was complicated code that was hard to maintain. Its not as simple as someone writing code to reimplement the feature, the feature also needs to be maintained which is a lot of work for a project with so few resources compared to proprietary projects that can afford to pay hundreds of full time developers.

People requesting that feature to come back are just kind of rude about it, skipping out on basic manners. Personally if I were a KDE developer I wouldn’t want to work on a feature after all that.

Oftentimes police do nothing when people report sexual assault and rape. Bringing these things to public attention can sometimes be the only way to bring awareness to what happened. You can decide to not believe the alleged victims but there’s nothing wrong with them coming out with allegations.

Damn the people on that bug thread act so entitled for volunteer’s time.
