Da Kdocker unter Linux mit X11 nicht funktioniert habe ich mal gesucht, ob es eine gangbare Alternative gibt um Programme in KDE ins Systray verschieben zu können.

Ein wenig suchen brachte auch ein Ergebnis:
https://github.com/luisbocanegra/kwin-minimize2tray

Das funktioniert sogar erstaunlich gut.

A tool that doesn't get enough love is the KDE "ISO Image Writer".

Sure there's dd and there's tools like Rufus, Etcher, and whatnot, but if it's effectively a tool meant for your platform then why not?

Droppie [infosec] 🐨    ​6d ago

i do exasperate myself sometimes with my changing sensibilities wrt my preferred  #font. i keep toggling twixt #RobotoCondensed, and #NimbusSansNarrow . For the past several weeks i'd set it to the latter, but after a few [or several?] days of dissatisfaction with it, i've now toggled back to the former... yet again. based on history it seems inevitable that in another coupla months i'll likely jump back again.

otoh in #Plasma itself, i do seem reasonably settled with #NotoSansExtraCondensed -- this seems generally to survive much longer before i feel the urge to change it, compared to in my browser.

damn dopey dropbear! 🙄🤦‍♀️
