I will never understand why the vast majority of those mostly awesome effects were dumped and never added to KDE.
I LOVE the 3D desktop cube and actually used it as a tool and as a bling to show off. After some 5 years without, KDE finally brought the cube back but now only under some weird ass key combo and only as useless bling.
KDE, bring back the eye candy and make it useful eye candy, please!
Any non-youtube link to watch this? Don’t want to deal with Google no more
Yeah, press X to doubt that AI is generating child pornography from medical literature.
These fuckers have fed AI anything and everything to train them. They’ve stolen everything they could without repercussions, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them fed their AIs child porn because “data is data” or something like that.
What’s it with the Wayland hate?
X did a great job for decades but it’s old, it never was designed for modern day requirements, let it retire gracefully instead of dumping on it’s replacement, maybe?
I understand there are some apps that still require X, those at some point will be / should be / have to be updated, but I don’t see that as a reason not to want to move forward to something better
Reverse proxy still goes over a port
Will this make it in Kubuntu 26.04? That’d be awesome!
Been on Linux desktop since 2003, never looked back.
Don’t get me wrong, Linux has its bugs here and there, like all software, but the difference is night and day.
FREEDOM! I can do whatever the fuck I want with my computer without “nope, can’t do this, that requires complicated APIs and development, that requires more paid licenses to do on your own goddamn computer”
I’ve built so much stuff over the years, it’s like a giant Lego box to me
Why am I seeing like 5 different posts like these, all of the sudden? They’re all the same, literally same title, just posted by different users.
Kubuntu here (KDE) All HDR seems to work pretty much out of the box, hadn’t had to do anything
Wine Is Not an Emulator
To have it as ab option, great. I believe KDE already has this? Computers should work the way the user wants it, so a middle click should do what the user wants it to do.
Removing it completely would be insanity
Interesting!
Can this work server side as well? I’d love a good PDF toolkit to integrate as a backend into my open source system
Most important missing detail though: reliable conversion from HTML to PDF
I’m currently using wkhtnltopdf and it gets unreliable results at best, especially with layout (CSS)
Any suggestions on what tool could do that best?
I feel like cups supported every printer… 15 years ago.
Today? Your guess is as good as mine.
I’ve used Linux Desktop both personal and at work since 2003, I guess I got lucky with where I worked, they always allowed it as long as I could do everything that needed to be done.
Then again, I was either the owner or CTO level for the last decade or so, and just made those decisions myself.
Now I’m trying to push my current company to switch completely to Linux, and it ain’t easy. Not because of Linux, that part is fine and whatever easy, but because Microsoft worked hard to ensure you can’t escape their fucking clutches.
Moving away from teams, for example, will be a tough one, because most of our customers and government have complety relented to Microsoft, and you MUST use teams to talk to them.
So then what? Use different messengers internally and externally? I’m still not sure how to get rid of that part, but for the rest, we are going off the microshit soon
You want companies to stop supporting and using your shitty standard? Because that is how you get customers ntonstop using your standard and by extension, your companies
I’ve had similar issues using CSF firewall. They just pushed out updates that apparently support docker a little better but I still have to fight with that to get that working, I don’t know if that will fix it, but give it a try
Am I the o oy one on Kubuntu? The 25.10 install is amazingly stable with one exception that gwenview continuously kills the audio server when it plays a video. Then again, gwenview has always been quite horrible, i should find something better
So just a small tax on the business as usual of conde nasty, six years after it happened
I’m sure they’re shaking and will now actually behave
Imagine a federated system that allows everyone to host this and everyone can vote on a designated target
Ticketmaster is being a dick? Vote! Ticketmaster is now ddossed until it makes hard changes to its policies and brings prices down to like 10% of what it is today
Boeing continues to focus on money only, not safety? Ddos until it changes
The Cheeto is murdering innocent people again? The entire world will ddos everything US until he’s removed.
I know this won’t ever happen, but I see this as potentially useful in making the world a better place for everyone
As always, awesome work! Thanks, Linus!
