Hats off to the KDE team for a really great release cycle. I understand that there were some licensing issues with Qt in the back half, but Plasma 5.27 really pushed the Wayland session into excellence. It's unclear what Plasma 6 is going to look like, but they've got a damn fine launchpad with the current KWin Wayland session.
- mariusor 4y agoI thought that Plasma 6 will look exactly like Plasma 5, the only change being the Qt version they depend on.
- babypuncher 4y ago5.27 is the first KDE release in a while that has actually broken things for me. Fedora recently updated to it and the breeze theme broke, causing me constant crashes and glitchy window decorations.
- oynqr 4y agoWhenever I hear about completely broken KDE installs, it's Fedora in 90% of cases.
- babypuncher 4y agoYeah. In my case, the Discover app didn't fully update all of the packages like it was supposed to. Easy enough of a fix, though I doubt an average PC user would have been able to figure that out.
- LorenDB 4y agoDiscover really has never worked all that well for me when it comes to updating packages. I have used the terminal to install updates for a long time now, with both Ubuntu and openSUSE.
- oynqr 4y agoI have a feeling PackageKit is to blame here, since I remember Gnome Software being just as bad.
- babypuncher 4y agoThat's probably good practice, though I feel that the updater which pops up in your tray to let you know updates are ready should "just work".
- ahartmetz 4y agoDo not use GUI package managers except YaST. They are all terrible.
- LorenDB 4y agoI personally hope that one of the first new UI changes to land in Plasma 6 is support for rounded window corners in all corners, not just the titlebar ;)
- Jiocus 4y agoYou only seem half-serious, so I suspect there's something I've missed about KDE corner history. Anyway, 'picom' can at least grind down those edges (or smooth out, depending on your point of view) ################################# # Corners # ################################# # Sets the radius of rounded window corners. When > 0, the compositor will # round the corners of windows. Does not interact well with # `transparent-clipping`. corner-radius = 5 # Exclude conditions for rounded corners. rounded-corners-exclude = [ "window_type = 'desktop'", "window_type = 'dock'", ]
- sho_hn 4y agoThere's an infamous very, very long dev discussion thread on the quo vadis of bottom corner trimming (with working patches) :-)
- Jiocus 4y agoThanks for much hoped for context )
- LorenDB 4y agoI am mostly serious. I mean, it's not a huge deal, but it would look awesome :) I guess maybe I could look into picom. There was also a third party kwin plugin that could do the same thing IIRC.
- Jiocus 4y agoThe picom version is kinda brute, basically crop corners right off. Maybe a KWin plugin would do it more elegantly - but I guess such a plugin would also have an upper limit to radius... ;]
