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

Thanks

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

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?

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.

 

So, I have been testing out a few distro's lately after deciding to move away from arch. I have noticed, though, that every time I install a new system (latest one being NixOS) with btrfs, I get symlinks of my home folder in my Documents folder.

It's really kind of odd. I haven't tried with ext4, yet. Is this a known issue?

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.
