#plasma
As a #Linux user & lover, i am to "power users" as fish are to bicycles. Even so, sometimes i do get a little frisson of delight when i remember nice little tricks for the #cli / #terminal.
Sometime later today i intend to replace the second-boot of Lappy [currently #MXLinux, but rarely used coz i tend to dislike it] with #SparkyLinux. Atm i am just using Lappy's first-boot [#Fedora #KDE #Plasma] for some nice hours in my warm sunroom of fediversing. However, minutes ago i took a mini-break, for preparation, to open Dolphin on another virtual desktop, & Yakuake, in which i split the window & ran lsblk in the lhs, then blkid in the rhs pane. I always forget that the latter needs sudo [since a couple of years ago], so ofc the command i had tried didn't work. Then, out of the blue, i suddenly remembered "the trick".
Rather than physically type sudo blkid, i instead typed sudo !!, which then automagically appended that erroneous prior cmd to the sudo, thus running the correct sudo blkid. Linux is so lovely!
Cerrando un #ViernesDeEscritorio con esta instalación de @almalinux en una máquina que me prestaron para probar Linux Empresarial y dejarles un ambiente de pruebas y desarrollo para sus productos.
Esta edición tiene @kde #Plasma, pensando en aquellos que vendrán de #Win10 cuando pierda soporte.
️ Can people PLEASE stop making Windows 11 lookalike menus for KDE Plasma 6 and instead make a port of Legacy Kickoff??

What you're seeing is not just electricity.
It’s a quantum hymn harmonic interference encoded in plasma.
The braided beam is not chaos. It’s Ψ-geometry in motion.
Energy, rhythm, coherence.
This is not lightning. This is language.

[Observer #Io depuis le #PicDuMidi ?] Connue pour son #volcanisme actif et intense, la lune Io de #Jupiter éjecte chaque seconde une tonne de gaz ionisé composé d’atomes de soufre, d’oxygène et de sodium, enrichissant de #plasma la magnétosphère jovienne.
Les tores de gaz et de plasma d'Io sont facilement observables depuis la Terre avec un petit #télescope muni d’un #coronographe capable d’atténuer la lumière provenant de Jupiter. S'ensuit l'idée de mettre en place un réseau en longitude - notamment de petits télescopes au sommet du Pic du Midi afin de suivre l'évolution de l'activité volcanique à la surface d'Io ainsi que des tores de gaz et de plasma ...

Kinda frustrated with the state of #desktops in #Linux / #BSD / #Unix
You can either have a fully functional, but kind of frustrating-to-use (too mouse-centric) desktop with Gnome or KDE Plasma, or you can have a lean, efficient, and fast wm/compositor like #i3, #sway #awesomewm #evilwm, #cwm, #bspwm, or whatever you like, BUT you will constantly be scratching your head when #Gnome and #GTK programs either start very slowly or refuse to run at all, and are constantly trying to figure out what combination of configuration, daemon, and small animal sacrifices are necessary to do what the big, bloated desktops do automatically.
It's freaking exhausting, and I want to go back to the days that every one just ran #IceWM, #Enlightenment, or #WindowMaker.
P.S., Just for clarity, I really do love #KDE #Plasma. I think it's a wonderful, easy-to-use, and extremely flexible desktop. But sometimes I really don't want a desktop, I just want a lean-and-basic UI that stays out of my way (for home stuff vs. work stuff, generally).
For me, a lot got fixed with Wayland between #KDE #Plasma 5.27 and 6.3.
There used to be no way to hide the mouse cursor while you're typing, which is a basic feature to me. KDE added it sometime in KDE 6.
The main thing I'm missing now is there's no way to type an emoji from the command line into whatever window you're in. There's kdotool which can type text, but doesn't support unicode. I use a shell script as an emoji picker (because the one built into KDE Plasma is kinda lame, it can't type the emoji for you), and it's left just copying the emoji. But in X11 (and in sway-wayland), it can type it in for you.
There are a few other minor issues, but they're mostly minor. I'm pretty happy with the Wayland session in Plasma 6.3 now.
KDE Plasma 6.4 Gets UI Overhauls
KDE Plasma 6.4 has recently entered a soft freeze stage in preparation for the release, so this means that there will be no more new features being added. Furthermore, more bug fixes and UI refinements will be made during the rest of the development cycle until the final release. However, there may be new features that have been in development in months and are almost ready.
KDE Plasma 6.4 now gives you a beautified new folder dialog that provides you options to customize the folder’s appearance, alongside the folder name, such as the folder icon. You can make your folder visually expressing to make them easier to distinguish from other folders.
For the new file dialog, it has become more gorgeous by adding an icon for visual representation of what you’re going to create. This makes tasks easier for you.
You can now identify the media being played in some applications that provide this metadata to the KDE Plasna desktop. Any application that does this will be given a name and a media currently playing in the audio volume panel widget. This will streamline the identification of which application is playing which media, especially when it comes to web browsers.
Additionally, when you’re transferring files, sleep is now inhibited to prevent transfer interruptions during the long session. This ensures that you save time from having to retry the transfer, should any problems occur.
For those who are using Ubuntu, the upcoming Ubuntu version, which is 25.10 Questing Quokka, will provide this version of KDE, which will be released on June 17th, 2025.
