Well she was right. I did learn something new about those commands.

I’ve been using some ancient java app called jmkvpropedit to do this.

Depends on how the project and how long they have been around.

About the time that Windows 10 came out. I was just messing around and ended up liking it.

I’m constantly surprised at this point how anyone fails at it. Not to mention there are a number of distros that provide them out of the box now and somehow people still say they couldn’t install it.

Finally time to bust this out again.

Believe it or not. kde’s khelpcenter is what I have been using. Not sure if it includes images, but it renders simple html files and according to the Arch package. It is only like 7 MiB. Way better and faster than using a whole browser, but doesn’t really support javascript obviously.

Yep, I remember when distros had to ship git versions of sddm with unmerged patches to fix issues because of the disconnect between the sddm maintainer and kde developers who seem to be doing most of the work. They are unfortunately limited to goals and architecture of that separate project project and its maintainer and its finally time to get away from it.

That is a work in progress and isn’t finished.

Is this actually a bug though? I just don’t think krunner or many other calculators for that matter use delimiters anymore. Therefore, the only thing it is changing based on regional settings is the use of the comma or period to denote a decimal.

I could be wrong considering I had a bit of trouble understanding the post. I just bring this up because in American English there are no delimiters for thousands place or above either.

Also I don’t see how from this post the decimal point is wrong. Sure it is simplified to one decimal place, but again many calculators do this. Perhaps op simply needs something that provides more fine grained control over number formatting than what krunner is supposed to.

Too my knowledge the Snapdragon support hasn’t even been fully fleshed out in the kernel which is probably why you don’t have a stable experience.

You can configure the kde clipboard manager to never delete things or keep a higher amount of things. That is how I have mine setup.

Wrong sub

The link says it is a pre-release.

KMail isn’t available on flathub, so the only way you would see it in discover is if you have done what everyone is telling you not to do on arch. You need to uninstall all of the packagekit dependices. Then you will be able to use discover safely and only install flatpaks.

What tablet if you don’t mind me asking?

Honestly, I would say it isn’t great for anyone who has to do something low level even once. Now that there are open source nvidia kernel drivers that has solved a pretty big issue for most people who would be interested in immutable distros, but there are still many other drivers and issues that your regular user may face.

One example off the top of my head is that flatpaks specifically can’t ship systemd services if I recall correctly. A lot of wayland apps for thigns like input have to use daemons because of wayland’s security model. Lact for AMD and now Nvidia GPU control, ydotool, or even gui versions of such tools for remapping input.

Snaps require custom kernel modules that aren’t used outside of ubuntu, so I hesitate to trust them regardless of any of the other issues people have with them.

This basically leaves appimages which aren’t available for everything and don’t always seem to work at least not as reliably as flatpak. I even tried to package the rstudio forensic software as an appimage myself, so I could have an easy way to use that proprietary piece of software, but I just couldn’t get it to work. I couldn’t get it to work with distrobox either using the official methods they provide to install it on linux. I did get it working in a chroot for some reason, but it had graphical issues. In the end, I made a PKGBUILD for arch and got it working that way.

The point of all this is that a lot of times people say immutable is great for average, non tech savvy people, but I believe that literally everybody ends up needing to do low level stuff at least once or twice every so often. Which simply isn’t a great experience since you end up having to do layering which throws these theoretical average users right back into the normal complexity of a mutable system, but with even more uncertainty in my opinion.

Now then with all of these caveats. I do still agree that immutable distros are great for the aforementioned group of people and I know this statement contradicts a lot of what I have described above. The reason why I think they are great for the less tech savvy people however isn’t because of any actual technical merit of the systems design though. Immutable distros are great for people like Linus Sebastion because it limits what they can do. You simply have to accept what is there the same way that you have to on proprietary systems like Mac and Windows. Those systems force you to do things a certain way unlike Linux and that is what people like Linus need because they have no business mucking around with the system to begin with.

Lastly, all of this only works because devices like the Steam Deck are being run on specific hardware thus guaranteeing there compatibility. This is what we ultimately need. There would be much less need for low level operations to get drivers or change settings to make wifi or audio work right on a billion different devices if these people were buying linux compatible hardware in the first place.

Which is just as good in my opinion if I am understanding the situation correctly.

I’ve recently gotten into using cockpit. I just wish it was as expansive as openSUSE’s yast.

KDE since it is my desktop of choice, waydroid cause I really want the dev to keep going with that. Probably some others once I can think of them.
