Quoting: Slayer5934

Quoting: voxHaven't heard about any problems with akonadi, but heard and suffered enough through baloo`s BS. Many people suggest turning it off, deleting it and like physically scraping it from the hard drive with a rusty knife - just to be sure. So be advised about it. It "works" on my system, but sometimes it doesn't when you need it. Some people say, that it never actually works, despite being very busy all the time.

I have had personal experience with Baloo as well, disabling it is definitely recommended until they fix it (if they haven't already), although I don't even notice any downside to disabling it.

I use KDE on my home desktop PC and I'm astonished at how bad/unreliable/unusable baloo is after all this time, to the point of (still) being broken. I use the FSearch app for help there. Gnome is excellent in this regard.

No website I'm happier to support. My goodness, I've been a member here over 8 years and reading even longer than that, about all 11 or 12 years I've been on Linux. Gamingonlinux is Linux, as far as I'm concerned. While I game less than I used to, it's an ever increasing reason Linux continues to grow, and for those gamers, this is their resource. I encourage everyone to give!

Just did the update on my work laptop (on Manjaro, my home systems are on Endeavour). So far, so good!

Quoting: BoldosIt looks amazing.

And it looked the same way amazing years ago, when it was supposed to be released...

This is so old, that I removed it from my wishlist some time last year as I consider it being a waporware...

Interesting. Thank you for giving us more of a longitudinal perspective.

Yup, by far and away the title I'm most looking forward to in the near future.

I think we're finally starting to see some 16:10 displays from S76 as well, at least the next Orxy Pro is listed as having it upcoming. I own two older Oryx Pros, but I've admittedly been more recently really spoiled by Dell XPS and HP Elitebook levels of hardware quality... I'm really looking forward to S76's eventual bespoke laptops, however...

Looks like fun, absolutely, but I couldn't help but think as I watched this that, if you could go back in time and show that trailer to me while I was playing Psygnosis' Barbarian on my Amiga in, like, 1988 and said, "I'm a time traveler. Let me show you some gaming from 2023!" I'd be like, "35 years of technological advancement, and it's more Barbarian and side scrolling? That's what I have to look forward to? Forget the future!"

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: kokoko3kI hope Xorg users will continue to get fixes.

I was under the impression that not only KDE on X, but especially Xorg itself does not get a lot of love anymore?

I thought at this point it's essentially unmaintained.

This actually looks like a lot of fun if the AI holds up....

Quoting: Tobias_HudelistIf they make the Cosmic Desktop standalone it may get even more popular than its Mother Gnome eventually...

They actually will be releasing Cosmic as a stand alone DE to be used on any distro and, if it delivers, I bet it'll be hugely popular. I personally can't wait to have Cosmic with the AUR. What will make or break it for me will be how good its touchpad gestures are. Whatever one thinks of Gnome, its touchpad gestures (and some excellent extensions made for them) make it the indispensible DE on my laptop...
