After an update last week on fedora 44 kde, I cant see the battery percentages of wireless game controllers, does anybody face a similar issue? is there a solution?
cat /sys/class/power_supply/ps-controller-battery-*/capacity
45
does this mean it is a kde issue?
I'm not even kidding. So many UI elements, flexibility modern designs and sheer consistency make KDE feel miles ahead of windows. Been using it for about a year straight now and I am sold on Debian 13. The built in utilities are amazing especially the partition manager. I also appreciate how things just.. make sense? There are no abstract problems, there's always an error code somewhere and always a way to pinpoint the problem. This is in absolute contrast to the rest of tech which has sought to cover up all the nuts and bolts from the end user, much to everyone's confusion. Discovery is an awesome program that makes getting programs simple but also very flexible with the abiltiy to add and chose repos. With an AMD Gpu it works seamlessly. No Nvidia experience driver bullshit. Wayland is awesome smooth and works great. My ONLY CRITIQUE is that there is no way to adjust saturation and create custom resolutions in WAYLAND, something X11 has had figured out for YEARS.
EDIT more features I like. Controllers work SEAMLESSLY, drawing tablets work SEAMLESSLY
I made a small browser game. You answer a few questions, then 32 distros (and 16 desktops) fight through a bracket to suggest one that fits how you actually use your computer.
It's meant to be fun, but the scoring and results are real suggestions rather than random. No signup, no ads, only anonymous aggregate stats. There's also a terminal-based campaign mode if you like messing with real commands.
This new and the campaign is only about 40% complete.
I've been a happy KDE Neon user since its very first version. Its philosophy was absolutely brilliant: you got a rock-solid, stable Ubuntu LTS base—guaranteed not to blow up during a routine system update—combined with the absolute latest and greatest of the wonderful KDE environment. For a long time, Neon was clearly the golden child of the KDE project.
However, the situation over the last few weeks has been incredibly frustrating, and sadly, this isn't the first time we've experienced these long, unannounced delays between minor releases. Upgrading to Plasma 6.7.0 broke a lot of things, which can happen, but freezing updates for a server migration during such a critical launch feels unacceptable. Leaving us stranded without 6.7.1 and 6.7.2 for over two weeks is a massive logistical failure.
The lack of transparency makes me wonder: Did they not realize this would leave users with broken systems? Or are we witnessing the slow death of the distro due to a lack of interest from the maintainers? It honestly feels like a giant sign telling us to pack our bags and move to another distro.
Leaving the veteran user base in the dark with a buggy system for weeks is not a good look. What are your thoughts? Is it time to switch?
I have downloaded portable application and added a desktop shortcut. The only issue is that it does not have an icon. There is nothing in properties to change it. Internet says you can also open the shortcut in text editor to change it, but contents of the file are gibberish to the editor.
v2 Update ✨ : caelestia-dots-kde
here i switched to a ICC profile mid test, here the red actually isnt washed out but the whole spectrum is too compressed which clips colors, maybe cause the ICC profile isnt meant to be used with HDR? not sure- i just want to use my monitor in HDR mode to make use of local dimming AND the full monitor brightness potential, but so far everything is either desatured or colors clip no matter what i try
builtin (more color accurate version visible in OBS on the right
showing this, both colors just look like pure white on the screen
I have faced some issues concerning "no bootable device found" i searched several fixes where people said i should turn off secure boot and turn on legacy boot, i did all those but never worked, so thereby i had to install fedora again and could not retrieve my data. is there a way to prevent this from happening again?
Starting to get real sick of Dolphin constantly shitting itself. First the seconds get taken away, now MKV files stop having any information (e.g., duration, dimensions, or anything else useful). No issue with MOV, AVI, or any other container I've used, just MKV. At this point, I might as well just build my own file explorer, with how utterly inept the Dolphin team is. It's one shitshow after the other, retrieving bugs that have been fixed for years, just for the hell of it.
Edit: Confirmed it's an issue with some part of KDE. Ffmpeg returns the info normally, but kfilemetadata_dump6 outputs only video/matroska for MKV files. Notably, zero info aside from that; other files give the dimensions, bitrate, etc., but MKV gives just the mime-type, which is also incorrect since file --mime-type reports video/x-matroska, so some part of kfilemetadata is for sure fucked.
KDE Plasma 6.7.2
Example:
```
Installation of /tmp/KXpFlx-Apple.Tahoe.Dark.tar.xz failed: Could not install dependency: 'kns://lookandfeel.knsrc/api.kde-look.org/2296021
```
Happens with pretty much all themes, at first the themes store seems to stop responding
If anybody knows an immediate and/or temporary fix, let me know.
Hey everyone! So, I love KDE, but sometimes I do miss the clean style of modern Gnome. I also love their apps more than I do KDE's counterparts.
Does anyone know any KDE theme to make the KDE windows and styling look just like Gnome's ones? I found some but they seem not to be working anymore, unfortunately.
I think these only appear on apps that use the Kirigami UI thing when the application style is using anything but Breeze. I'm on 125% scaling and it has happened on every distro I've used.
Ideally, apps that have a widget for the desktop and/or the panel.
Hi !! I was wondering if it was possible to get the new oxygen theme on an immutable distro ? ( bazzite ) All the options i've seen to install it have been through a system package, which isn't an option for me, being on an immutable distro and all . . .
Is this happening to everyone else too? Have yall noticed?
I recently switched to KDE Plasma (on Fedora) because I love the customization, but I really miss the deeply rounded corners from GNOME.
I read somewhere that Plasma 6 natively supports rounded corners, but they are very subtle/slight by default, not quite like GNOME's aesthetic.
Is there a way to increase the corner radius in Plasma 6 to get that distinct GNOME-like look?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, so I was been used to having maximized windows on my screen with autohide panel. While my panel is hidden, I couldnt see the time or battery percentage or other things quickly, only I have to pause my video game and move my mouse cursor down to panel and see the time and battery percentage.
The way I was looking through is having time and battery percentage in title bar, so I dont have move my mouse cursor to my panel and all information is in title bar without being hidden. Example is in image where I was expecting about this.
I know I would have set my panel to show always, but since im using 13 inch laptop, I like having little of real estate screen.
I dont know if its possible or not, but I have seen like this in Manjaro forums, someone posted screenshot about theming but he had time in the title bar too, saw that year ago i guess.
Sorry if there was post about exactly this ages ago, I wouldnt find it. Plus sorry for my english, im bad at explaining.
For example when I am running an cli app (not a tui) I want it to be straight black background but when I am not, I want it to be the background image I already have. How do I do this? Or is it even possible?
