What’s so special about plasma 6? Currently on plasma 5 and like it. Don’t really know too much it can improve on besides reliability and the desktop being more usable and easy to use.

Now that they’re working on it, I’m interested in seeing how well Wayland in Cinnamon works. Hopefully it can fix some tearing and stuttering issues in my mixed refresh rate multimonitor setup.

Will also be interesting to see how the landscape with Windows goes, especially considering I’m picking up traces of discontent in their ranks. I think Valve’s actions will probably cause them to sit up and pay attention.

Chewy7324, in Optimising Ubuntu performance on amd64 architecture

It seems multiple Linux distributions are considering to update their x86-64 baseline architecture. This could improve performance, at the cost of hardware compatibility.

Reading this makes me want to try gentoo again…

I’m excited for convergence and Linux mobile.

Wayland becoming the default for every DE. X11 needs to go.

I’m hoping more market share will mean more applications come to Linux and better support for hardware. Cough cough Nvidia

Bcachefs also looks interesting but I need to look into it more.

And I’m also excited for all the things I don’t know about and didn’t even think about showing up

Vanity license plates! 😄

Just using it like I’ve always been with as little change as possible.

markstos, in Is it possible to flash a new OS onto an old iPad 2?

Good news. You can install a newer browser in a virtual machine on some other server you have and then use some Remote Desktop software on the iPad to access the VM which can run a browser to access your Home Assistant dashboard.

I’m still pretty new to Linux so I’m finding new stuff all the time, I’ve been very happy with EndeavourOS but I am planning to switch to vanilla Arch when Plasma 6 fully drops. There are other distros that have caught my attention, they’re just abit beyond my skill level currently.

Only thing I’m really hoping for is improvements to Nvidia (Yes I will buy AMD next time I get the chance, I built this PC before I had any intention of using Linux)

This thing will simply fail on an alternative filesystem layout, something to be mindful about. For mainstream FHS distro, it’ll work fine.

Hopefully Wayland support for polybar

callyral, in recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

for lightweight, i would recommend LXQt (qt) or LXDE (gtk). XFCE also seems pretty nice.

also, you could check out i3 and bspwm if you a tiling window manager.

i would’ve recommended sway, but it sounds like you didn’t have a very nice experience with hyprland, and that could be because it uses wayland.

I’ve never seen /etc/opt used. Usually if an app is in /opt, the entire app is there, including its config which is frequently at /opt/appname/etc/.

phoenixz, in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

Finally, KDE is going back to having some nice bling after slowly removing it for years.

If now they can make kwin stable, I’d be so happy
