Quoting: Purple Library GuyWe're getting to where if someone says "I have an X-box" I won't know if they have a Microsoft console, and old school Linux computer that still uses X, or an appliance dedicated to their Twitter account.
It's a set-top box exclusively for pay-tv adult channels.

Quoting: whizsePeople with problems tend to be a lot more vocal so success stories can easily be lost in the noise.
I had an issue before where sddm would not load on startup and I needed to open another tty to systemctl restart sddm or do a hard reset of my machine. This issue just went away with Plasma 6. Also, for some reason, booting my EFISTUB would not work without base and udev. After the update to Plasma 6 I can now boot without these and only with systemd.
My setup runs more stable than ever before! :grin: I wish there were a way to relay this to the KDE devs...

edit: The systemd boot is probably more related to an update of mkinitcpio rolled out by the arch repository.

Probably, but I’m going with elmapul. Showing one word at a time makes it useless and borderline stupid. YouTube provides the possibility to just upload the subtitles with the video.

Sometimes, people are adamant to solve a problem, that has already been solved, in a bad way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quoting: dziadulewiczWhat an angel. Using a free and user respecting operating system powered by Linux. You know what Spydows is made of? It's not made of a human number six six six but shit shit shit.
What? I think you are barking up the wrong tree here. :grin:

I'm on Arch, btw. :woot:

This reminds me that the 6.6.6 release was way too short lived for my taste.
You know… for satanic reasons 😈
