Yeah, this is nice. I have been going nuts trying to get this going.

Thanks

Agreed.

Me thinks someone has a secret affection for a certain group of people.

What other good options are there out there?

yeah, the new Plasma is hard to beat. I want to like Gnome… I just see no compelling features, really.

Great song and video.

The music producer / mixer in me is yelling, “bring those vocals up to the front more!”.

But hey, doesn’t matter. Great song and vid.

I moved away from plasma a few years back. I can’t remember the reason(s) why. I think it was I just wanted to use a tiling wm. Either way, I decided to pop on the unstable NixOS channel and give plasma6 a go. I ain’t going back to no damn tiling shenanigans.

What the plasma team did here is what, I think, a lot of people have been waiting for. It feels very polished and refreshed. I’m so damn impressed by it.

Either way, I agree:

Developers: You did something amazing here.

Editor: Windows

Why not Linux, MacOS, too?

Viktor had no business debating Yanis. Destroyed.

You don’t really compile anything during or after install with arch linux unless you find something on the AUR that needs to compile? If so, just look for .

Otherwise, a really nice system is NixOS.

Another is GNU Guix.

Yeah, reaper is definitely not open.

I am not entirely sure why I thought it was something to do with the filesystem. It’s just weird.

I found that if I put, say, a text file in Documents then log out and back in, those symlinks show up.

Ah well. so long as nothing breaks, it’s not that bad.

Oh, I get that. They do introduce some bloat. Though, at least for me, I have enough resources to manage it without much concern. I wouldn’t recommend flatpak’s if you want a lean, mean, machine. That’s for sure.

I used arch for a long time and only recently switched over to fedora silverblue. One of the things I missed most was the AUR (and pacman), for sure. However, I discovered something called distrobox. It allows me to install an archlinux container and from there I can use the AUR with no problems. It’s pretty seamless, too. So, if there is something I can’t find something then it’s no problem now.

Though, fedora has pretty much everything anyway. Flatpaks are getting damn good.
