Ha. Not really what i expected. 😞

My #ArchLinux #KDEPlasma 6.0.2 has perversely broken two things that were fine in 6.0.1. It's not supposed to happen like this...

  • #ApplicationLauncher's Favourites scrambled the sequence of my carefully arranged apps immediately from 6.0.2, so i re-rearranged them back to my preference. Just now i realised they're all scrambled again. Damnit.
  • #DesktopCube was working correctly, but in 6.0.2 it no longer permits mouse-dragging of the cube to change the active #VirtualDesktop. Damnit.


#Plasma6

I just started my second play through of #arizonasunshine2. It's a fantastic #vr game. This time around I played it on my #pico4 headset using #alvr on #linux . And it worked flawlessly! I downloaded it from #steam, launched ALVR, launched the game and it worked without any tinkering. The experience is pretty much the same as using #virtualdesktop on #windows.

I am amazed by the simplicity of #gaming on Linux these days!
