The trick is to never get comfortable with Vim or Emacs.

What's going on here? What's that smell? Smells like... empanadas...

The real questions are “What are you filling them with?” and “How can I order two dozen?”

Nothing. Apply Hanlon to the very original response to Vultr. It all works out.

It’s Hanlon all the way down.

AUA: We are the Plasma dev team. Ask Us Anything about Plasma 6, gear 24.02, Frameworks 6 and everything else in the upcoming Megarelease.

David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò are here ready to answer all your questions on Plasma (all versions), Gear, Frameworks, Wayland (and how it affects KDE's software), and everything in between....

What’s the best or recommended way to test out Plasma 6 RC2?

And

What has been the hardest problem to solve moving to Qt6?

Thanks for the answers! You and the others on the team are doing a fantastic job of convincing me to not use any other desktop :)

Thank you so much for the info. I think I'll be grabbing a Neon ISO and give it a whirl on real hardware. Gotta do it right, ya know? :)

Now that's some high praise! Thank you 😊

There's also an audio-only version in case folks are more of a listener than a watcher.

AntennaPod was my jam when I was on Android! I've heard it's only gotten better over the years.

I meant to reply but kept getting distracted while typing it out. It's my favorite trait of mine. 🙄 Sorry about that.
But when we sat down to record the following episode, we ended up talking about what you wrote..

I really appreciate this insight. This is something we never would have gotten doing our normal digging. I have a lot of respect for folks like you for doing real hard work and still having it not quite work out the way you wanted.

Thank you so much for sharing :)

That release schedule is a rabbit hole! We could probably do an entire segment just over 4.0. That would be something.

Thanks for the work distraction. :)

leo OP ,
@leo@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

This is why I still run out and grab the deb. Might not be the fanciest, or the "Linux way" but I just want my stuff to work.

Seems they need some updates. OBS, Zoom and Xfce are all happy to work toward Wayland, and OBS/Zoom both work pretty well on it, so 🤷

And no telling what else has changed since; checks notes; 2016?

leo OP ,
@leo@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

There really isn’t one. Wayland is maturing and app support is following.

This is the way things always go in open source. I’m betting soon there will be a distro that will announce a never Wayland stance just like Devuan prior.

leo OP ,
@leo@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

I suppose it really depends on when you tried it. Ubuntu 23.10 has been working quite well on Wayland. I haven’t once failed down to X, and the only papercut I run into now is with differently scaled displays (100% and 150%) where OBS will crash the session when moving back and forth.

Everything else seems good as I haven’t really seen anything else break at all and I use Firefox, Kdenlive, Audacity, lots of chat apps, and played some games. Specifically, playing Vivaldia 2 while I was remotely compiling Gentoo using OBS to livestream.
