Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
Rolling release, quicker updates for gaming, and pacman is an extremely fast package manager, which is why OpenSUSE Tumbleweed wasn't chosen. KDE probably because touch screen works better on it and maybe they found switching between desktop and big picture mode to be a better transition
Hello fellow citizen, I almost agree but libadwaita is inherently gnome's thing, and libadwaita apps are usually closely built into the gnome desktop, so using it outside of gnome seems weird. Kinda like using Dolphin outside of KDE (tho that's just because of qt). They want to be able to integrate their forks visually.

I despise tiktok but banning it entirely through law sets an extremely scary precedent. What happens when the big N tries to go after emulators this way, or if corpos go after third party apps under some guise of business stability or something, scary stuff

Plasma 6 fixed a lot of issues I had with Wayland, mostly multi monitor, but I've been using it since steam on X11 would cause your entire desktop environment to freeze up consistently every time. I read it was because steam was constantly pinging your display ports to see if there was another monitor connected, but I don't know how true that is. Moving to Wayland fixed that probably because of xwayland
I was trying to post a video but it wouldn't show up as available to upload in Jerboa, is this a per community thing or is it across all of lemmy? It would make sense because videos are inherently a larger file size, if that is the reason

Maybe instead of going after a way to make switch games more accessible to people outside of your ecosystem, you should expand your ecosystem to include them.
They dont integrate well into your system like they should, (theming, bookmarks, storage, etc), and to fix that you gotta do some work arounds that should be done automatically
So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don't have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there....
Konsole and Kitty are objectively better than alacrity. So it's a question of which of those to use. Konsole if you use the Breeze application style, and Kitty if you don't. Konsole has the best keybinds and it actually has a scrollbar, but kitty doesn't require breeze.
For example, theming shouldnt have to be a 10 step process. Make Flatpaks use your themes correctly. Another thing is QT Theming, why is it outside of KDE you can't use the breeze style? It's the best and most consistent application style for QT apps. And the final point, when is the naming scheme of org.foo.bar going to be...
I shouldn't have to, and my main point is flatpak remove and flatpak install both work for the sensible names (without the org/com prefix/suffix), but flatpak run does not.
Discover checks knewstuff (global themes, plasmoids, etc.), Flatpaks, firmware and snaps, (which all have a relevant backend package something like (discover-backend-packagekit). Discover, well more like PackageKit, will let you know if a reboot is necessary if there's something like a kernel update.
