#kde #Plasma6 is finally on #opensuse #slowroll (we get updates some time after #tumbleweed does).
First thoughts:
- the flicker is gone. Gone!
- apps launch instantaneously. I didn't even realize what I was missing before the upgrade. Just a few 100 ms I think, but it feels very snappy!
- #lattedock doesn't work. That's fine though. The panels are pretty nice, and I don't miss latte.
- my themes got unthemed. Login splash got reset. Some plugins stopped working. Easy to fix.
- #cube!
Ayer, al actualizar mi snapshot de #opensuse #tumbleweed me di cuenta de que había eliminado #lattedock. Tras hacer un búsqueda, he podido encontrar en un foro alemán que los paquetes han sido movidos al repo KDE Extra.
Así que, si te encuentras en esa situación, no hay más que añadir el repo y hacer una actualización permitiendo el cambio de proveedor.
Si usas zypper, estas dos líneas te deberían valer:
sudo zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ kde_extra
sudo zypper dup --allow-vendor-change
Hey y'all
As #Wayland draws nearer and more users want to use it, next year will migrate all rices to use #KDE panel rather than #LatteDock much to my dismay... Since Latte and #Wayland don't play nice together at all #FOSS #Ricing #Linux #OpenSource
Preview...
Default #Plasma panels are like the windows taskbar, except that they do not have to stretch along the entire length of the side of the screen that they're on.
Floating panels is a relatively recent invention by @niccolove to (optionally) make panels more dock-like by "floating" above the edge of the screen. I'm guessing it was created because #LatteDock (the Plasma-native dock solution) became unmaintained.
The default behavior is that whenever a window touches a floating panel, it "de-floats" and becomes a regular panel. The rationale behind this is that having a panel that a window can't actually touch* is weird, so it's better to revert the floating panel to a regular panel as long as something is touching it.
* My understanding is that windows cannot actually touch the edge of a floating panel because its "hit box" (for lack of the knowledge of a more subject-appropriate term) is larger than the visual part of the panel, because it includes all of the stuff that's in the alpha channel, like the shadows cast by the panel.
My personal feeling on the subject is that an "untouchable" floating panel is more aesthetically pleasing than a floating panel that gets "spooked" like Boo in Mario 64 and reverts to a regular panel whenever a window touches it.
As it is now, I go through the very #OCD route of manually preventing all windows from touching the panel so that it doesn't defloat, because I greatly prefer the floating look.
Anyway, the original post was just me wishing there was a way to turn off the automatic de-float. ;)
I've settled down a bit after an initial #distrohopping adventure ever since #ubuntu starting worrying me. Here's what I've settled down on now, after experimenting with different setups:
1. #opensuse #tumbleweed and #nixos on my primary and experimental laptops
2. #chezmoi to synchronize dotfiles
3. #nix #packagemanager to manage command line utilities across distros with #homemanager
4.i. #kdeplasma + #lattedock + #touchegg preferred on #opensuse
4.ii. #i3wm on #nixos
#i3 is very cool....

These days my #ArchLinux #KDEPlasma uses a 44px standard Plasma main panel vertically on RHS, & a custom 24px Plasma launcher panel horiz at bottom. All lovely. Before, i'd used #LatteDock for that 2nd panel, but abandoned it even b4 its Dev left, due to high-RAM & other bugs. B4 that, i oscillated between #CairoDock & #KSmoothDock. Both remain installed, but unused for yonks. Yesterday i ran KSD but it still is NFG in #Wayland. From link above, i smell a dead project 🤷♀️
@jf Yep. I find #KDE to be overwhelming with it’s endless selection of plasmoids and themes, many of which can break your desktop if you mix and match them incorrectly. And don’t get me started on #LatteDock.
I just want a dock at the bottom of my screen and a panel at the top with some easy to reach add-ons. But Gnome went and “improved” things with their quick settings menu with corners so fat and rounded that they might as well have made the whole thing a circle.
#lattedock git has had a fix for plasma 5.27 pushed to it today. For #Fedora users I have rebuilt with the fix
