qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

Couldn find this command for like 3 days. Thank you so much

FYI for everyone I believe you will be able to do this in the GUI starting with 6.1

Btw, if you are using Plasma 6, you should write kwriteconfig6 instead of kwriteconfig5

now how do we revert it?🥲

Finally someone understood

Nah he should use what I'm using. both 😊

it's not yours when microsoft steal all your data.

You can simulate a GNOME UI in KDE, but not the other way around.

No everyone should use the DE I use because it's much better! /s Jokes aside, use whatever you prefer, there is no global right answer, and even if one is "better" than another, that does not mean it's better for you.

Interesting. Gnome 45 was fine for me 🤔

GNOME has often crashed for me on my old hardware. The likelihood increases with more extensions, so ultimately it's a no-go as I do need at least a few to not make GNOME gets in the way of me using my computer.

Has it been resolved?

​@@FengLengshunGnome is pretty solid and hard to make crash. It could be a Hardware problem in your PC

@@n.m4497 it has happened both on my Lenovo G40-80 and my PC both running AMD. GNOME is solid but it's not flawless, especially if you deviate from the "ideal GNOME usage". PopOS implementation I recall being particularly crash-prone and idk if it's still the case but having both dash-to-dock and dash-to-panel would often cause issues. GNOME with extensions is frankly worse than KDE with Latte Docks. Even when I was being pretty vanilla on VanillaOS, there was some weird maximizing bug where maximizing stretches the screen over the two screens which is especially bad because my second screen is 768p so a lot of the window is cut off. I had to manually resize the window again so that it's barely not maximized.

Gnome 46 is also a huge step forward

Your desktop specs ?

@@user-sm1jp4en9u it's a notebook. Ryzen 7 5700U, 8GB RAM

You could always add spacers and change the size of stuff in KDE panels and apps.

@@FengLengshun Yeah but why should I do it it everything is perfectly pre made in Gnome

@@Dudik28 No one says you have to do anything. The guy was having a dilemma, and I'm just pointing to some solutions because I *do* know that KDE can be a bit bad with exposing some options. People should use whatever fits their usecase best. GNOME just doesn't fit me, and others. I've tried it, multiple times in multiple forms. Barebones GNOME doesn't work for me- but adding extensions can outright makes them more unstable than KDE with Latte Docks. Therefore, it's a valid solution to customize KDE if you have things from KDE you want, but the main blocker is just the default UX of KDE.

Everything is from the KDE store

If a GTK theme exists with my current QT one, then I'll use that. Otherwise just the default one. I'm not that picky when it comes to GTK

Mate users are really rare nowadays. Nice to see that some still use it

Modern mate runs really well on my 11 year old chromebook surprisingly. Waiting for cosmic to release and then I'll switch to it. Looks like gnome while being lighter (I get that gnome uses resources very efficiently, however they do not account the fact that some devices do not have those resources in the first place.) Love the look of gnome on my other laptop, however mutter is plagued with issues such as screen flickering when igpu is under load so I use plasma on both my laptop and PC. Will be switching to cosmic on both

That sounds more like a backend issue with the Kernel honestly. Gnome is just a frontend that taps into a certain piece of software that's responsible for mounting the drive. Maybe Plasma uses a different solution, but I'm not aware of any major issues

Try , nix or gentoo , they are great , in nixos you can create an reproducible system , if you decide to move or have an diffrent laptop just copy those files into that and rebuild the system and boom same exact replica of the main system , for gentoo you have to build every apps and this leads to less bloated system

nixos

ZorinOS

@@shaunnan146 Zorin is a glorified Ubuntu, it does not do anything else then any other linux distro when it comes to technology. NixOS as suggested might do, as it actually mixes things up a bit but havent found the time.

Yes

Thanks

New backdoors are being discovered every time. This one is special because it has been unnoticed for this long. The media blows this way out of proportion though. Is it bad that this happened / happens? Yes, definitely. But this happens on Windows and MacOS as well

I pinned it in the comments. Many are asking this

It does on Laptops, but its the first time I saw this functionality for fully fledged Desktop Monitors

@@MichaelNROH It pops up for my desktop monitor, but I had to manually install the ddcci dkms module for Arch, and even then it only pops in sometimes. I haven't exactly figured out why, but I think it's an issue with ddcci itself because it's really hit or miss on Hyprland too.

You can get the same feature for external monitor by installing a gnome extension and the ddcutil package

@@ExylonBotOfficial You can, but because it's not the built-in GNOME brightness slider you miss out on the OSD brightness popup and you have to go into DCONF to edit the brightness media keys. It's not the worst, but I'd still rather use the native implementation if possible.

@@RustyLoaf don't speak without knowing. The extension I'm talking about adds a convenient brightness slider under the one for the volume

It's a chromium thing, not gnome.

It doesn't work with Krfb?

In my experience the plasma menu is quite easy to use, and relies less on the mouse. It works quite well paired with krunner compared to the gnome workflow, which takes up a lot more screen real estate to do the exact same thing. If you don't like the default meu, you can change it to a fullscreen one much like gnomes very easily. Plasma is also far more mature with wayland than gnome is. Just my take on gnome

It's in the description. Edit: Wrong Video 😅 It's from the KDE store, something sunset minimalistic

I'm keeping my expectations low, but it looks promising

@@MichaelNROH Totally understandable

I guess it's the "cleaner look" that Gnome offers out of the box that draws a lot of people to it.

Because it is the environment that was meant to work well using a trackpad. I cannot imagine using my laptop with KDE. Because i do not want to be using my keyboard for navigation

@@Filipomnomnom Now, that does make sense. I've never had a laptop and the occasional ones that I repair for people are only used very briefly by me to make sure they are working. I wish I'd had a modern laptop when I was in college- back then "laptops" were called portable PCs and were the size of a suitcase and cost as much as a car. If you put one on your lap, you'd probably dislocate a hip.

I believe it is because it is the preferred UI for, and due to, big business. Corporations want their staff on a DE which are essentially locked down app starters and no more. (I remember the days when certain big business had the limited functionality of Windows 3.11 locked down so users could only run a few apps!) Once you add in any degree of customization and workflow altering there is room for instability and trouble with, er, trouble shooting. Big business wants the focus on staff just running the essential apps and NOT playing around with the UI and breaking things. Big icons, essential apps docked, click and run the business' top working apps, with everything else hidden or just not available user works GREAT in the likes of 'Big Purple.' The IT department does not want users flicking switches or adding extensions. I think GNOME is really easy as an app launcher but a nightmare the moment you want to do anything the slightest bit more unless you install a ton of (possibly conflicting) extensions which will likely break with the next version of Gnome, extensions that would never be allowed in a major business. As such, I think Gnome dominates because it has the backing of the Big Corps and Gnome is directly funded now by 'Bug Purple.; And once the big guys get their say.... it stays that way. I am a total KDE fan - user define keyboard shortcuts are my workflow LIFE and nothing beats KDE for that! But that's 100% not the Big Corps way.

Yeah, but like said its nice that KDE exposes this by default

You basically explained it perfectly why I am currently on Plasma 😅

You can switch beetween windows of the same app on Gnome using ALT + ` (the letter above Tab)

You need to bind it with some Kwin command or edit the kwinrc file in ~/.config.

@@MichaelNROH Thanks 🐧

It's a lot of work if you want to build your own experience. Many things need additional apps, since they haven't tied native ones to the Desktop Environment (e.g. a calendar)

Lack of account integration is a joykill for me on KDE
