Question about High Refresh Rate Monitors and High Res Monitors on linux
  • No. I run 3x 1440p 144Hz monitors with KDE Plasma on an NVIDIA 1060 GTX, no issues at all.

  • Trying Fedora. Never rebooted so often in my life
  • So after reading the comments it's not that you need to reboot. It's your need to process notifications.

  • Touch screens on linux?
  • Yes. Dell 7391 2in1, works great. I have Fedora KDE on it and I flip it into tablet mode and use it on the couch.

  • Things like this turn people off from Linux
  • This is a Thunar issue, not Linux in general. It works with Dolphin's filter bar.

  • help: var folder on ubuntu won't stop filling up
  • Install ncdu, then sudo ncdu -x /var it'll tell you what is taking up space, then if you tell us, we can help you identify how to minimize it and keep it low.

  • How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later?
  • I've never worried about this but I'd use Flatpak. The whole install goes in a specific directory and the metadata/config/data files go in their own specific directory.

  • This Morning Cemented My Love for KDE Plasma
  • I don't think we've ever been seen in the same room, so anything is possible.

  • Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?
  • Don't. Use Nextcloud.

  • Casually running 3 operating systems on one PC
  • This is a rather low-quality post. You didn't even tell the audience what operating systems you are running.

  • Ignore The, A in Dolphin
  • I don't believe this is possible however you can quickly filter the current folder you're in with Ctrl + I and start typing. That way if you're looking for The Matrix you can just type Matrix and it'll show it for you.

  • This Morning Cemented My Love for KDE Plasma
  • I love the default Plasma Breeze. I just want to have a usable interface and get work done. But I do LOVE that Plasma can be made to look like practically anything.

  • Restore Thunderbird's previous look

    Thunderbird 115 introduced a new look. I hate it. Not only does it no longer fit in with KDE Plasma, it lost functionality due to it's new integrated search bar in the title bar.

    So I went on a mission to fix it.

    To restore the regular title bar:

    Go into Settings > General > Language & Appereance and uncheck the Hide system window titlebar

    To remove search bar:

    Toggle toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Config Editor (bottom of Settings)

    Find your profile directory via Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory (or about:profiles in same page)

    This directory should have lots of files e.g. prefs.js and places.sqlite

    Create directory chrome Inside that folder, create a file named userChrome.css with the below content:

    #unifiedToolbar { display:none !important; }

    Restart Thunderbird

    Enjoy!

    EV target for SA Govt cars running out of charge
  • This would require a government that gives a fuck about the future of it's people.

  • Best Distro for Laptops?
  • The one you like.

  • IRC Clients
  • I'm curious what keeps you on IRC and stops you migrating to Matrix?

  • Error when installing Haruna
  • Indeed this is the fun part when compiling software. You need to find each of the packages that provide these. Depending on the distro, some provide an easy way to do this. What are you using?

  • How would you customize KDE Plasma for a window user?
  • I like the default look as do many others I think. As for changing the looks I'd wager most Windows users just want to change the wallpaper which is very simple.
