The article you posted is outdated. The last change was in 2022 and most sections are even older. Plasma 6 has full Wayland support.

How is it relying on XWayland? I don’t know of any KDE Plasma components that require X11. The apps you install might need XWayland but that is separate from the Plasma desktop.

Semmelweiss is also partially responsible for the widespread rejection of his findings. He basically called doctors who did not follow his advice murderers which naturally didn’t help his popularity. Antagonising someone who you are trying to convince usually just entrenches their opinions further.

Editorializing the title and putting nothing but polemics into the description paints you in a worse light than it does the systemd devs.

Nostr is made by a nazi cunt.

I guess for “Flugzeug”, ‘device’ works better but I don’t think I have ever thought about it in that way. From my experience usage usually goes more like this: “Pack dein Zeug zusammen wir gehen weiter.” which I think best translates to ‘Stuff’ or ‘things’. Zeug is an interesting word though. It is also used for the harness of a draft animal (“sich ins Zeug legen”), it’s bridle (“Zaumzeug”), bed linen (“Bettzeug”), work tools (“Werkzeug”) , or as a word for nonsense (“red kein dummes Zeug”). I would say it started, as you said, as a word for device but became a slightly negative word for ‘Stuff’.

The german word for aeroplane is similar, “Flugzeug” directly translates to “flying thing”. Helicopter is also fun, “Hubschrauber” translates to “lifting screwer”.

I would prefer purple.

I am using Kinoite for quite a while now and not once did layering break anything. The only thing I notice is that the mesa drivers from rpmfusion occasionally go out of sync with the fedora repos and I have to wait a few days for an update. I think ublue would fix that but I am not bothered enough by that to make the switch. What where you trying to achieve that you managed to break Kinoite?

In case you haven’t tried that yet, maybe you could run it in a systemd enabled distrobox container.

Nobody ever accused powershell of being concise. Its uses a completely different philosophy, object oriented rather than string based. This makes powershell nicer to write scripts in but also makes it worse at bash style one-liner commands.

File search is really awful on windows for no reason at all. Your complaints about commandline utilities is not accurate though. Windows has native powershell equivalents to both grepand tail. You use Select-String instead of grep and Get-Content -Wait instead of tail.

They will boil that frog slowly. Soon there will be an alternative subscription with a discount for previous license holders. Then they hide the option to buy a perpetual license so only people who spent time to search for it can find it; and finally they will remove the option completely and claim that they did that because “Nobody was buying it”.

The business model could change very quickly and promises by companies aren’t worth the paper they are written on. The CEO might tomorrow decide to sell the company to a large tech company which more often than not leads to the destruction of the software the company developed. Only open source or, even better, free software can guarantee that your software wont be enshittified.

For PC gamers Linux is the only alternative but I don’t expect a major migration. The last ten years have shown that the average gamer is willing to accept a lot of hostile behaviour from companies as long as they are able to keep playing their games. Microtransactions, Loot boxes, kernel level anticheat, and broken buggy releases haven’t killed that industry yet. Windows 11 is just another thing that will be loudly complained about in gamer circles but not much will come of it.

Don’t forget that KDE is very modular. Akonadi, for example, can be removed entirely if you don’t plan to use the KDE PIM suite.

Have you tried plaintextaccounting? I am using hledger, it works very well for me.

This is a very old feature request for KDE. It has not been implemented in almost 20 years so its probably very hard to do with kwin. Neal Gompa thinks this wayland protocol could make it possible in future, but with the current speed wayland protocols are accepted, this could take another 20 years.

How do your Python problems relate to a sudo/run0 discussion?
