Cool, while a lot of people are complaining. For those of us that still keep a chromium based browser around for the those few times where you need compatibility. These small improvements are very much welcome.

I agree, I really like the look of them. I just wish they would export the menu’s with me being a Plasma boy.
I’ve got issues with both of them, but polonium is closer to what I want. In krohnkite I can’t use btree while also keeping the tiling part. If I drag a tile while in btree in krohnkite they just snap back to their previous position. Overall krohnkite is more polished though because it doesn’t rely on kwin for the most part to determine positioning. Whereas polonium uses only the api’s provided by kwin.
Lastly I have noticed that you don’t actually need to log out and back in for polinium. Closing all windows and relaunching them has been enough for me.
Cool. Always nice to see the whole document signing situation improving across all the different linux desktops.
Bug has been officially filed and confirmed in the arch repos. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/kdenlive/-/issues/8
Guess they will figure it out and fix it in the next update.
Edit: The issue was tracked to a problem with the opencv package and the new version is in the testing repos. I have activated the testing repos and grabbed that package and it does in fact fix the issue.
Also broken for me. I tried downgrading mlt a couple of times. That didn’t work. Might need some kind of rebuild from the arch side.
Edit: I saw in the mlt output that it couldn’t find certain libraries, so I installed those and no longer have those lines, but it is still crashing. Getting a bit closer to figuring it out though. A few less issues in the output.
Performance is exciting to me.
I agree. Arch really won me over with how they do things. Sometimes less is more.
Glad you brought up the software point. Back when I tried I had the same issue, but no one mentioned it when I was hearing about why I should try out a BSD system. Seems that even open source software often doesn’t have any of the BSD’s in mind and you end up needing to use that linux compat thing I remember seeing. If that even works for whatever you are trying to use.
I wouldn’t say no issues, but nothing like what some people are complaining about. I only have one major issue in my opinion.
I think this is a YMMV kind of thing because it has always worked for me.
Actually they seem kind of sketchy too. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/2778
From a performance and overall compatibility perspective, does either GNOME or KDE outshine over the other for this?
Not unless you are doing specific things. Last I checked, but I know Gnome is moving on these fronts too. Things like HDR, VRR, Virtual Reality Games and stuff like that you are going to want KDE for. There was probably some other stuff, but that’s what I have off the top of my head. However, if you try Gnome and decide that you really like them. They are making moves on those fronts too, but I’m not sure how long it is going to take.
I tried the flatpak for Zen, but it seem to crash quite a bit. How has your experience been?
I don’t think any Operating System is (dumb)user friendly
yet.
Well, the PDF format was created by Adobe and even though they somehow got it to technically be considered an open document format. They are to my knowledge still the only entity with a complete implementation in existence. Just some food for thought.
This is a great point. It is also an issue that I have with certain (not all) users who try linux. Where when things go wrong in Windows and Mac they have no power to do anything and they just give. If something goes wrong in linux they start yelling, complaining, and sometimes harassing maintainers.
No, not really. I believe it is because a lot of us linux users have more understanding of our systems, so we know why a certain outcome happened vs “it just works tm”.
Also I would like to point out something that I have been telling people for years whenever a post like this comes up. Windows and Mac users do the same thing. They constantly overlook bugs, bad design, artificial limitations, and just the overall lack of care when it comes to various details that more community oriented projects cater to. The reason is because of familiarity. Just like many of us will often not see issues with new comers struggles because we have already worked around all of the issues. These users do the same.
That is cool and I didn’t know about that, but that is not what I meant. In most tiling window managers, regardless of the layout. You can increase the size of any individual window and all other windows will adjust in size.
