I’m not saying KDE should do one thing or another, I understand that maintaining code, even unchanging code as you claimed, takes effort.

Yes, they’re going to force me to switch to Wayland on this machine. I’m on X because I need autokey, pyautogui, and TeamViewer. I need to look into alternatives and switch, except I don’t have the option of replacing TeamViewer.

I’m not really partisan in the whole X vs Wayland jihad, I run Wayland on my 2 other machines and don’t notice any difference.

KDE is dropping support for X11 next year: https://blogs.kde.org/2025/11/26/going-all-in-on-a-wayland-future/

KDE, some distros.

Yeah it’s great. I click on the email, press ctrl-a to select all, ctrl-c to copy, win-r to run action on clipboard (there’s an option to do this one automatically). It then runs a script that parses that text to get the good bits and reformat it. I wrote it for Chase, not sure if it’s helpful if you want it.

I like to set up klipper actions to do automation on certain clipboard actions. I have them for sending certain URLs to special programs, converting credit card charge emails into a new item in a spreadsheet, doing 2 bandcamp things. I used to have some cool automation set up with starting and stopping activities, but they removed that functionality and now I have a worse one with the command output widget. I also love using window rules to customize my programs and where and how they appear.

It’s better.

pffft atomic, my distro is quantum.

RTFM doesn’t have to literally mean to read text, just like saying “let me google that for you” doesn’t have to literally be google. Both statements are similar; the point is instead of burdening others with teaching you something, go learn it on your own whether that be the manual or random Indian tech youtuber.

How does that work if it’s peer to peer? Doesn’t at least one person need to open ports?

Do users have to open ports for it to work?

It’s really just a difference of opinion. GPL enjoyers such as myself believe that Free software is the best and it should be kept free with a copyleft license. BSD license enjoyers also love Free software, but they believe in putting next to zero conditions on their software. They’re just happy if their freely released software is used to make anything better, even if it means proprietary projects incorporating it and not contributing.

When you read a, you’re typing in terminal. I made a clipboard action so I just copy an URL to the clipboard, execute actions, and then choose whether to play it or download it on my other machine.

No offense, but I’m seeing a lot of useless scripts here. You can simply put these option in yt-dlp.conf and then just run yt-dlp “url”.

KDE has native tiling built in. Simply press the (default) hotkey Win+T to set up your tiling zones, and then hold shift while moving a window and it’ll snap into that area.

Newer software is nice, it’s not too much trouble.

I bet that feels so good as the patient.

The fork is called UZDoom and it’s already in the AUR. I read the Slashdot story on this today, and there’s a little more going on here. AI code grosses people out, but the bigger issue is that it’s being used in a GPL3 project which kind of isn’t allowed. The lead dev was also being a bit of a twat and not cooperating with the community. Long live UZDoom!

When?

These days the things that really differentiate distros are: installer, default desktop environment, packaging, packages.

This is why I’ve never liked the idea of flatpak, it really seems like the Windows way of doing things. It honestly still kind of surprises me that Linux people really wanted to download random binaries from non-trusted distributors that contain a copy of every library that software needs to run. wedontdothathere.jpg
