If a fingerprint reader isn't supported on libfprint, am I just cooked?

So the fingerprint reader on my laptop isn't listed in libfprint supported devices, is there any way to contributing code for it to work or am I just cooked? I'm not a low-level guy but could be an interesting side project if it was doable so I was just wondering.

Is microphone volume supposed to be at a 100% for the native input volume?

Hello, I'm on Fedora KDE and I wanted to know whether a 100% on the sound (kde) or on pavucontrol apps means that you're using the native input volume of the microphone, or will I have to check alsamixer?

Using Fedora to play games

Other than following the instructions in the Fedora Noble guide, is there anything else you can do on Fedora to improve performance when playing games? I know Fedora uses zram instead of swap, is the default zram configuration good enough for gaming or are there any use cases where swap might be better? (I'm playing Crusader Kings 3)

How to C.A.R.T bash?

I know you have to stun the monster and bash them into a wall using the cart but it didn't work when I tried it. Do you need to have a certain level of strength, be the host, have to bash the monster against a wall or something else?

Are there any websites for getting application (custom) icons?

Are there any websites like wallhaven but with different application icons, especially older ones? Recently I've been changing application icons the menu editor after I found out that the Helium icon for macOS is a lot nicer than the one we have on Linux and it would be nice if there was some place to find a bunch of different icons.

The Kosmic Cycle and the end of the Kali Yuga

I came upon this post on Reddit today while searching about the Oxygen and Breeze themes for Plasma https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/s/HrUNVosVTG . This made me wonder whether people wanted minimalism/flat-design in the same way there's hype for skeuomorphic/aero these days. And outside of taste, is there any reason not to use Oxygen? Any Performance reasons?

Headphone volume gets lowered by default

I have a JBL Quantum One headset and for some reason the sound card dB gain for the sound card volume is set to negative, so its quieter than its supposed to be. But when I disconnect the usb and plug it in again, the correct dB gain (0) is set. I'm on Fedora KDE 44 and I checked/changed this using Alsamixer, is there any way to permanently change this behaviour?

System Clipboard Integration

Hello, repeat Emacs dabbler here. I've been having some issues with system clipboard integration, evil yank and paste works within Emacs but for example I can't copy some text from the browser and paste it onto Emacs or Copy something from Emacs and paste it into the browser or something like KWrite. doom doctor is clean except for some errors and warnings related to languages, this is on Fedora KDE Plasma 44 (wl-clipboard is installed).

We got new Oxygen Icons!

The system tray icons for clipboard, Bluetooth and connect aren't black like before on Fedora KDE, the system tray on Oxygen looks great now, noticed new icons for Dolphin and Discover as well.

Is using Fedora 44 KDE Plasma Desktop along with Niri viable?

Hello, I wanted to try out Niri and I had an issue on Helium where previous sign-ins weren't remembered (I think it was a kdewallet problem?). So I was wondering if there were some things you'd need to consider/configure when using KDE and Niri together.

Non-Flat Icons

I've been getting into non-flat design (Skeumorphism, Frutiger Aero, Aero, etc) and I'm wondering what icon packs are popular among KDE users who are into this aesthetic. I like how KDE Oxygen looks but its icons look weird in the system tray, the Bluetooth, clipboard, KDE connect in particular. And those icons are flat as well, I think they're called symbolic icons? Anyways, I swapped out the Oxygen icons for Oxylite(PNG) icons and I'm pretty happy with it, any other good icon packs?

It sounds similar to this and it must be from the 2000s? Or the 90s? I can hear it in my mind and its driving me crazy

The instrumental/background music around 0:03 sounds like another soundtrack I remember, it had a Sonic vibe to it? But it was way faster than this.

I watched a YouTube video on terminal emulators and to my horror I learned that Kitty has built in tiling when I've been using tmux on it this entire time. I fear for my life.

I don't mind making sacrifices to larp but I do use one laptop for work and university so some level of stability is appreciated so I'd like to know if any of you have had problems with AeroThemePlasma or whether heavily customized themes on KDE Plasma are generally unstable, etc. I just think it looks cool but I don't want to take too many risks, fyi I use Fedora KDE
