Quoting: mr-victory

Quoting: PyrateCould say this about a lot of Linux projects, or just any open source project really, but Plasma is the gift that keeps on giving. No enshittification, just continuous improvements. We can't stop winning.

KDE Plasma updates are the few I look up to. Back in 5.24 I was installing betas to get some features early, I haven't installed a beta in years but dammit the changelogs still have gems.

Quoting: LoftyI have stayed on X11 because of this using the admittedly great application 'onboard'

I use wayland but there is a bug not affecting X11: moonlight and seemingly nothing else can disable vsync so I get higher input latency.

ohh that's not good because i do use sunshine/moonlight.

Quoting: LoftyFinally! We have an integrated onscreen keyboard under Wayland which has been a much needed accessibility feature for me. I have stayed on X11 because of this using the admittedly great application 'onboard' which has meant missing out on other gaming features & HDR. Now i will have to move from my older existing plasma install to a newer distro that supports 6.6

Not sure which one to choose , needs to be more upto date than mint/debian though but a 'YOLO Update' distro 🤔

Great work 👍

Fedora 44 will get KDE 6.6. Worth noting that there are also immutable variants of Fedora like Kionite or Bazzite/Aurora from Universalblue. The advantage is integrated rollback functionality and the assurance of always having a working system, while staying relatively up to date

I have considered Fedora, never really got into it so far and I've been using Linux for a good long while. I read there are some things missing OOTB that make it not as complete as a distro such as Mint, Ubuntu or even Manjaro.

Fedora is definitely a distro that doesn't really go out of its way to be extra user friendly and it's very vanilla, so it's kinda like Debian with newer packages or Arch without sudden breaking changes, but also the state of vanilla Linux has been so good that people have been calling Fedora a new Ubuntu for a while. Especially if you prefer flatpak apps because Fedora packaged apps have some legal issues with stuff like codecs and hardware video decoding. Also previously mentioned Fedora-based Aurora is a distro that both includes all you should need ootb and is immutable/atomic which means that no matter what you do and how long you use your system, it's guaranteed to always be in the correct state to the point that there is never any difference between an update and a fresh install.

thx for the reply i will check out Aurora Linux reviews to see what it's like. I do tend to lean heavily towards flatpak usage.

im wondering if aurora offers btrfs + Snapper snapshots like cachyos 🤔

Quoting: Cyba.Cowboy

Quoting: Lofty

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyThe logical choice is ARM-based processors

And then after that the Ultra logical choice is RISC-V opensource license free architecture.

But do they have the maximum power / minimal power usage benefits of ARM? Anything partially or completely "open" is always a benefit; but it'd be a step backwards if they couldn't offer the power of ARM, whilst using minimal power like ARM...

it was more of a joke , but also with some optimism & idealism thrown in.

who knows, in the future it might become an alternative even if it's not class leading.

Quoting: CatKiller£70/€80 is way too much for the base game of Death Stranding 2. That's $95; although European customers are subsidising US customers because they're only charging $70 in the US. £50/€60 would still be an expensive game, but not insane.

These games are getting so expensive that even on an aggressive sale i wouldn't consider purchasing. At best id watch a play through in 4k 😄
