This week in KDE: Looking towards Plasma 6.1

https://pointieststick.com/2024/05/03/this-week-in-kde-looking-towards-plasma-6-1/

@kde @kde

MajinBlayze ,

Imo look into opensuse if you want newish stuff without living on the bleeding edge.

Fedora can be an option too if you stick a version behind the latest

MajinBlayze ,

makes software for pirates

please avoid pirated versions

Good luck with that.

MajinBlayze ,

Really, one photo is proof the kid doesn't play outside?

MajinBlayze ,

I installed kinoite on my laptop. Rebased to silverblue for a while to try out gnome, rebased to kinoite rawhide to check out kde plasma 6, then back to kinoite 39. I think a few minor settings had to be redone, but no real issues.

MajinBlayze , (edited )

I didn't have this experience? TIL

To be fair, all of that was in the course of less than a week, and I neither heavily use nor customize my personal laptop, so it's likely that if there are issues, I didn't encounter them.

Even so, I was quite impressed with how simple and seamless it was for me.

MajinBlayze ,

I think your best bet for this is one of the spinoffs of enterprise Linux: fedora or openSUSE. both are very solid ootb, and have starting configurations that are generally good.

The microos or silverblue variants respectively are really promising as well, but still have some caveats.

MajinBlayze ,

I've used both, and the only third party repo I've enabled was tailscale. I've not had any issue with needing codecs in anything I've Installed through the discover app. I'll admit that I don't have an Nvidia card, so I don't know how good support is ootb there (though iirc, at least openSUSE has a separate installer that include Nvidia drivers)

MajinBlayze ,

Sure, but in both cases it installs the flatpak version that distributes the codecs with the runtime.

Although, now that I say this, I did install the flathub repo on fedora, which does slightly undermine my point

MajinBlayze ,

I've done that too: the child who's Loved by his family, but just wants to be out on his own

Is there a way to revert back to Plasma 5.27?

I don't think is ready for prime time. When I open apps, the title bar goes above the screen space and I can't move or close the app or use the menus.

@kde

MajinBlayze ,

What distro are you on? Some do automatic snapshots during upgrades

MajinBlayze ,

Soon™️

MajinBlayze ,

I really like what I'm seeing with this project, and the opensuse spinoff.

Installing Steam from BOTH package and Flathub? Any gotchas?

As the title says, I am looking to install both the package version (on OpenSuse Tumbleweed) and Flatpak version. I've been running the package version for awhile and it's been fine but I want to play with the Flatpak version to see how that compares - partially because I may eventually go for an immutable distro....

MajinBlayze ,

I did this for a short while and didn't run into any issues. They have their own separate libraries, though you could change that if you wanted to though.

MajinBlayze ,

I didn't, libraries are stored in different places in flatpak vs native install. You could probably add the normal install location in the flatpak using flat seal, but having the install directory in /home (the default for flatpak) was fine for me .

For what it's worth, I'm using steam in flatpak in microos now, and it's been mostly seamless

MajinBlayze ,

Good luck! I've been very happy with my microos installs. I've got kalpa on my desktop and aeon on my laptop. I'm following a project that uses a microos base for the Steam Deck too (which is ironic since the steam deck is what made me aware of read only root Linux and flatpak in the first place).

MajinBlayze ,

Those are two different repositories, one hosted by GitHub, the other by linuxserver.io. both are published by linuxserver, so there shouldn't be a practical difference between them.

MajinBlayze ,

I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it's been fantastic

MajinBlayze ,

Short answer: something like nginx proxy manager with a single wildcard dns entry makes this super simple.

MajinBlayze ,

BitTorrent?

MajinBlayze ,

Nobody tell him

MajinBlayze ,

Previous Larion Studios games work on Linux, so even if it’s flaky on launch, I suspect it won’t be long before it starts working well

MajinBlayze ,

That’s good to hear

What got you into selfhosting and what was the first thing that you hosted?

For me, it was PhotoPrism. I used to be an idiot, and used Google Photos as my gallery. I knew that it was terrible for privacy but was too lazy to do anything about it. When Google limited storage for free accounts, I started looking for alternatives. Tried out a lot of stuff, but ended up settling on PhotoPrism....

MajinBlayze ,

Definitely started with Plex for me.

  • Piracy :)
MajinBlayze ,

I recently switched to cloud from vaultwarden. I was comfortable enough with the security, but when I started to actually plan disaster recovery, it was something I literally could not afford to get wrong.

So bitwarden is the one service I don’t, and have no plans to, self host.

MajinBlayze ,

That’s great. For me, at least, getting a server restored from backup on something like aws without access to passwords was going to require more preparation than I was willing to deal with.

Definitely worth exploring if you’re prepared to handle that though.

MajinBlayze ,

I had a friend stay with me for a few months. We’re both effectively working from home when the Internet goes out, I ask if he wants to watch something. He gives me this weird look like, “but you just said the Internet is out” we end up watching a movie until the Internet comes back, then go back to our respective jobs.

It was fun seeing him react to something he didn’t think was possible

tool like bazarr for dubs/multi-language audio

is there a tool like bazarr for automatically getting dub audios of movies/series in other languages? i’d like to share my jellyfin library with some relatives, but they struggle to read subtitles/generally prefer dubs in our language, and so far i’ve been unable to find any tool to make the process easier. thanks in advance

MajinBlayze ,

The best option I’ve found is configuring sonarr (or whatever you’re using to grab releases) to get the files you want up front.

I’ve not seen anyone uploading audio tracks without video. I have a somewhat similar situation where I run two sonarr instances, one for English and one for Japanese

You can point your frontend reverse proxy to the docker reverse proxy.

Help! Instance syncronizing in a very weird way

Hi, so I launched my very own instance. I’m posting from here, and hopefully this post makes it there. I subscribed to a few coms, but I’m getting outdated posts and the votes don’t line up, also the comments do not all load. So I’m able to federate, but for some reason only some of the data is coming over to my...

MajinBlayze ,

ActivityPub appears to be very “eventually consistent” by design. There’s no guarantee that any given post or comment gets federated to you within a particular period of time.

MajinBlayze ,

I’ve gotten decent results from s3cmd sync.

MajinBlayze ,

I really like nginx proxy manager for handling certs and reverse proxy configuration

MajinBlayze ,

I’ve switched recently to freshrss, and it’s been fantastic

MajinBlayze ,

DOS2 is ranked gold on protondb, so if expect it to work (eventually)
