30 Years of KDE: Mascots, Kandalf is BACK!

Tyson Tan and others 30th Years KDE Artworks are now out on the community:

https://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/Mascots

Tyson:

The fish bone in Kandalf's pocket -- I was unable to find any clue about this puzzling design element or its original artist. The origin info may be lost forever, making it KDE's most obscure mystery. Rather than remove it, I kept it as a heirloom and added fish slippers to match the theme.

Using Arch after booting the desktop environment WiFi can not detect anything I’ve tried every resource I can’t figure it out yet. Does anyone know what I’m missing?

Working on making my linux setup feel and behave like macOS!

- I've adapted kwin workspaces to behave like macOS spaces: independent spaces per display, with app exposeé and mision control working in a similar way. I still need to improve split view, as well as persistence for spaces and open windows across reboots and shutdowns.

- So far, I've built two apps from scratch with macOS-like design and behavior (finder and mail). I'm planning to build around 15 apps in total, including settings, calculator, terminal, disk utility, activity monitor, safari, etcc.

- macOS-like keyboard shortcuts and behavior: screenshots, finder navigation, dedicated keys for launchpad and mission control, etc.

- The dock and menu bar are still in development.

- I'm also planning to add spotlight, siri powered by a connected Hermes agent, iCloud integration through rclone (desktop and docs sync like macos), etc.

Stop automount of Nikon DSLR

Hi,

I'm on Fedora 44, Plasma 6.7.5.

My Nikon auto-mounts as a camera and I cannot unmount it. This prevents Darktable from being able to shoot tethered.

In settings -> disks & cameras -> digital camera, I'm unable to remove the device. the apply button does not work. If I remove the device, and try to go to device auto-mount or device actions, I'm prompted if I want to save pending changes. If I click yes, and come back to digital camera, it's mounted again.

How can I stop KDE from automounting the camera?

love to do this, so brought it to GNOME as well

i just love to wiggle mouse in my free time when i am on my Manjaro kde VM. It just feels so good but them my GNOME based fedora 44 didnt have it because jiggle and wiggle are outdated...and weell wiggly...it just doent work with the similar physics of KDE with incremental size increase.

So , to give myself a break from my work I VibeCoded this.

Yes i openly am stating that this is a VIBECODED project and welll i made it for myself and am sharing it here. It was a break from my sullen work and also from testing and debuuging my main project which i have to do manually , ScreenGuard, which well some people here must know atleast by now after my vigourous campaign everywhere about what this is...but nevertheless getting into this topic, I can atleast assusre u one thing, I will continue updating it atleast once every month if i find any bugs or any issues are opened in the repo.

So please feel free to use it, or even contribute. I will be adding the contibuting.md after a few hours, its been a looong day.

Thank you all for co-operating and Please donot tag it as AI slop because yes i myself am stating its vibecoded a lot eventhough i ask people not to do it...So if you really want the kde-ish wiggle, u can try it out, if you dont feel good about the vibecode then dont , completely upto you .

The github repository: https://github.com/adityakrishnan005-a11y/adaptive-wiggle-cursor

details on how to install is given in README.

EDIT: apparently stuff will be refunded as stated on the website.

Here's the difference between my purchase I made on 17 september vs the one thats available now.
- cheaper price.
- cheaper tax.
- free shipping.

I cannot even cancel this order because "you are no longer able to cancel your order because it is in production or shipping shortly." which is in 4 months....

Fedora KDE launching apps from Folder view widget

I just switched to Fedora from CachyOS but I have some frustrations. The main one that I'm currently trying to solve is launching apps from the folderview widget.

On Cachy I have the same setup and I just have to double click an app and it opens.

On fedora I double click an app and I get a window asking "What do you wish to do with this file? Open with Kate, Launch, Cancel" I click launch and it launches.

But this is very frustration to have to click 3 times just to open an app. Why am I getting this behavior on Fedora but not on Cachy?

How do I solve this?

Is KDE (Konsole) planning to adapt kitty's new Text Sizing Protocol? Kitty graphics implementation in Konsole was a huge improvement for me, I would love to see this as well.

Is this a good place to ask for help? New to KDE and having issues with two fresh installs.

I have three computers I am putting Fedora KDE Plasma on. First install went fine. My desktop and another laptop is causing issues:

Any apps installed by default work. I install Chrome and Joplin and the programs are frozen, though menus will appear they are greyed out. Other apps might work or might not, discord works, steam works, signal doesn't.

Some info: Fedora Linux 44 Desktop Environment KDE Plasma 6.7.5 Windows Manager: Wayland

I also tried Kubuntu and had the exact same issue -- so that must mean its the desktop environment right? I just need to know what to search.

Cheers

Can KDE Plasma replicate some of macOS's window management features?

GNOME has an extension that minimizes windows into the dock, similar to how macOS handles minimized windows. Is there anything similar available for KDE Plasma? GitHub.

There’s also a GNOME extension that adds a global menu that remains visible on the desktop even when no application window is focused.

Personally, I find Plasma more enjoyable to use overall. It would be great to replicate some of macOS’s behavior while still keeping the flexibility and freedom that Plasma offers.

Are there any plugins, widgets, or configurations that can achieve this?

What's causing my screen to go dim when there is a big black object (picture or video) on a webpage?

is this an HDR feature, or KDE feature? it happens especially if the background is a light color.

I get the idea of it, but sometimes there is no media or its just a picture on a news article and I don't need my screen going dim. but I Just don't know where this shade feature is coming from.
