So I’ve recently moved over to using my Pixel buds pro almost full time and am hoping you stoke a convo here to revisit.
KDE Connect affords us the ability to fire off commands from a phone to do any number of things. One use case of mine is to disconnect/reconnect Bluetooth devices from the desktop since it is greedy and tends to bogart my earbuds when playback stops on other connections. This has worked pretty well so far but with that in mind, I have only just started playing around with things and so I look forward to refining the experience with other utilities.
That said, I find Bluetooth is buggy on almost every OS out there (Android is constantly in what feels like a state of repair…)
Best of luck!
I installed fedora 38 on my lenovo thinkpad t14 (now running fedora 39) and aside from one easily fixed issue bluetooth works perfectly. My gaming pc running windows can use my laptop as an audio device via bluetooth which is pretty cool.
When I used wsl, it felt fine. There were some problems with running more GPU intensive tasks, but being able to use linux-only software while I was restricted to Windows was pretty good.
The LXQt DE is a good choice for older devices. The wiki has a guide for it but needs a slight update. It should still work but may require switching to edge.
Puppy Linux is a fine choice too if your computer is a little on the old side. Lite, Peppermint, Trisquel, antiX, and a slew of others are worth looking at.
I did not use virt-manager for a while, but probably it allocates the whole virtual disk by default (i don’t remember for sure). Try to create it manually and ensure that checkbox “allocate the whole volume” is disabled. You can also do this with qemu-img create command (see man qemu-img for options).
BTW it is possible to compress existing qcow2 images. Before that I recommend to run fstrim -a inside the VM. Then shut it down and execute qemu-img convert -cp old_image.qcow2 new_image.qcow2 && mv -f new_image.qcow2 old_image.qcow2.
Use an auto-hiding panel instead and add a taskbar so that your running programs are there. I use that with KDE Wayland and it works well and is highly customizable.
Afaik the problem is solved within the code. I remember having compiled the app myself. It’s just a matter of time that it’s solved.
BUT it’s weird that this is so low priority to all gnome devs. It seems like noone cares about the correct weather. The source of weather is also not really perfect.
