Works fine on my end on endeavourOS. Been using it for over a year now. But honestly, I'm not sure why Firefox doesn't have this feature built in. If an extension can do it, I'm sure the browser can, too.

penquin ,

Lol. Right after Microsoft added sudo to windows.

penquin OP ,

Makes sense. Thank you for the link

penquin OP ,

Thank you.

Plasma is actually pretty light. It's right in line with XFCE.

penquin ,

Did this sub get hacked or something?

penquin ,

Why are they "cost cutting"? Are they going broke or something?

penquin OP ,

Save it and then go to “Gnome Tweaks” and activate the option “make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl” on “Additional Layout Options - Caps Lock behavior”.

And how do I do that on Plasma? What's the equivalent to that in plasma?

penquin OP ,

I actually found that option (damn plasma has everything lol) and selecting it killed the capslock completely. However, doing whatever the person did in the link without the option selected fixed the issue.

penquin ,

"an alarming number of important people" is the source. That's more than enough, right?

penquin ,

😂. Of course I'm joking. That claim is bullshit. Hey I know a guy who sold a bridge, and he's wealthy now. Source: trust me, he told me.

penquin ,

Religiously for more than 5 years now. I have the same things synced accross 4 computers and a phone.

Fix for the capslock slow response

This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I'm hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it. Caps-lock is very slow and causes THis ISsue, and it is driving me crazy. I'm the person who can never learn how to use the shift to...

penquin OP ,

Lol. I've learned how to touch type and I do it very well, but I can never get used to using shift. I just can't. I really tried so much.

penquin OP ,

It's not hatred, but I grew up in a 3rd world country where computer teaching didn't exist until I got to college, and even then, it was one 30 minutes class a week. I didn't even know many shortcuts and key combinations until I got to the US back in 2010. I'd never known that a shift key would do such things. All I knew was capslock is to make letters caps. I guess my brain was wired differently in this regard. I'm 42 now and I'm still catching up on a lot of things I've missed out on in my young days. I've just now gotten a job as a programmer literally 2 weeks ago (the irony of not knowing how to use the shift key, right?) I'm still learning about computers. I started using Linux back in 2018 and I'm still learning about it. Thanks to Linux, my learning process has been sped up a lot. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, and I hope that that answers your question. Lol

Pop os has an app store called "pop shop", that has both apt and flatpaks. Get all of your apps from there. They also have an app installed called "eddy" that you can use to install .deb packages in case an app is not available in their app store and you had to download the .deb package for it. Also, I know pop os has an outdated desktop, but they've been working tirelessly on their rust based cosmic desktop and it's coming along pretty nicely (an alpha release is coming soon). They do maintain their current distro no problem. I honestly would stick with it and set it up to your liking. It's a very good distro. As for your OneDrive, that can work with Linux no problem. You can also use Google drive on Linux.

Thank you. I'll update it. I never use discover to update, I only use it to see what updates I have.

How do I reset plasma 6 to defaults?

I have recently upgraded to Plasma 6. It's has been riddled with issues. One major issue is that when I let the PC sit for a while, the screen turns off (as it should), then the pc just either freezes indefinitely, or wakes up, but nothing is responsive. I can't even enter my password to log in. For now, I have disabled auto...

penquin OP , (edited )

I'll try that. Thank you. I'm having issues on Wayland and some apps I use daily don't work there unfortunately :/

Edit:

I ran this command sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)
and it removed over 1GB of crap. Made a backup before doing that. I'll reboot and see if it killed my system. Lol

penquin OP ,

I have all AMD. Done with Nvidia for life until they open source their shit and straight up support Linux. Running that orphaned packages cleaning command seems to help a little. I'll test it for a while and see. It did remove a bunch of Qt5/kde5 stuff

penquin ,

I just got a OnePlus 12 and this phone is fantastic. Bootloader is unlocked and you can do whatever you want. Battery is amazing. Charger is insane. Camera is more than decent. Price is very reasonable for what it offers.

penquin ,

Midori is a fork of florp and I think is better, too.

penquin ,

If y'all are mad about this, look into Midori. It's a fork of florp and I think it's better, too.

penquin ,

As far as I know, yes.

penquin ,

Welp, I'll be damned then. Back to good ole Firefox then

penquin ,

I tested the speed on both and Midori was a lot faster.

penquin OP ,

Done. Thank you

penquin OP ,

I have reported 3 or 4 major bugs so far, haven't reported this one yet. So much shit broke on plasma 6. Not sure if it's just me, but this release is an absolute mess. I don't want to reinstall

penquin OP ,

I have the
QT_USE_PLASMA_SCALING=1 set and it's been working no problem. Could if have been removed by the update? But that would also make the menu icons look like shit.

penquin OP ,

The Arch wiki thing fixed it. Thank you

penquin ,

😂
You can never beat FOSS, I guess.

penquin ,

Fuck shitendo. Their games are shit anyway. 🖕🏽

penquin ,

I don't use app images of flatpaks. I don't like either.

Is it possible to disable the auto lock when entering password wrong on lock screen

There is this useless feature where the lock screen tells you that the account is locked for 10 minutes because of three failed attempts to log in, but then I can just bypass it by forcing my computer off then powering it back on. Then what’s the point of having it? I just got a new mechanical keyboard and I don’t know if it...

penquin OP ,

How do I disable it? That link doesn’t show where to disable it. It just did it again and it’s driving my fucking insane. I literally didn’t do anything. I just locked my PC from the menu and went back to it to wake it up. I need this off my PC :/

penquin OP ,

Ok, I figured it out. Looks like this new mechanical keyboard I got does something when I wake the PC up that causes those 3 attempts to be triggered. So I just set deny = 0 in /etc/security/faillock.conf. And to be more sure, I set the unlock time to 0. Lol That was very stressful. Thank you for bringing up faillock.

penquin OP ,

I wasn’t asking why I can bypass it, I wanted to get rid of it because it’s useless to me since my PC is physically in my basement and I’m right there trying to use it, not trying to access it remotely. Anyway, I got rid of it.

penquin ,

“well, let me come over to your house uninvited and walk around the rooms looking through your personal belongings”.

penquin ,

I’m waiting for the PineNote to be out of the development edition so I can get one. I do have an older kindle that I jailbroke a while ago and disabled OTA on. It still sucks, but it is better with KOreader.

penquin ,

Hey, it is free to wish/dream. lol

penquin ,

Marcan reverse-engineered Apple’s M1/2 silicon using only Kate and konsole.

penquin , (edited )

He is the developer who reverse-engineered the whole apple silicon thing, and he did it with kate and konsole. lol. I have watched so many of his live streams on youtube, the dude even uses Gentoo with KDE. He is a genius.

penquin ,

Here is the last one he did.
