I got a HP Elitedesk 800 G4. This thing came with an integrated Intel card and a AMD one. With the Intel one it works fantastic. With the AMD one, bleh. I disabled in on the BIOS as I use this with a thunderbolt display, so it’s been like two years since I tried it.
Download it, cd to its directory, and do the standard procedure to compile a Cmake project:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo/doas make install
You’re right, thank you
If you’re using Arch and it’s in the AUR, I’d look into that. Otherwise you’d need to compile it by yourself.
If you don’t feel like compiling stuff, you’d want to file a bug against your distro so there’s someone willing to step up as a package mantainer to prepare a package for it and make it available for your distro.
Afaik the “original” Lightly was born as a fork of Breeze, which in turn was born a fork of KDE4’s Oxygen. So all of them are written in pure C++.
Now, I heard Luwx/Lightly was stalled so they forked it in boehs/Lightly, merged some pending patches and even did a new branch to port it to Qt6 - but last time I tried to compile it, it failed. Not sure if they’re still working on it, though. (From my part never liked Breeze but found about Brise, which I found much more torerable).
If I were you I’d try to get in touch with the mantainers of boehs/Lightly. If that doesn’t work, I’d go to ask the KDE VDG (I guess they should be reachable at discuss.kde.org); at least they should redirect you to someone versed in Qt C++ styling - which is very complicated, at least for me, 'cause C++ is no easy thing and it seems there’s almost no documentation at all about the subject. Pinheiro himself struggled to find someone with enough knowledge of C++ to help him with his O^2 theme.
If that doesn’t work either for whatever reason, which I doubt ever happens, I’d try asking Carl Schwan as a last resort, the guy that came up with Brise. He helped me with a stupid patch for it - of course he knows his thing and seems to be very cool.
It worked! Thank you so much!
Not an expert programmer whatsoever, and it’s been more than 15 years I’ve used Python for doing something GUI related (it was Python 2 and GTK+2…), but I do know you can do KDE stuff with Python right now. For example, there are Kirigami bindings for Python you can use to do a desktop/mobile app.
Still though I absolutely agree getting into C++ is a nightmare, to me is just a level behind Assembly and Brainfuck. I’d like to learn Rust and it’d be great to be able to contribute to KDE with it.
You can now place files in ~/Templates and they will appear as templates in the “Create New…” menu that appears in various places […]
That’s absolutely great! Last time I tried to put something to show up in those menus was a tricky process (and a bit frustrating, too, as I remembered at that time with Windows 98/XP it was easier than that) and in the next minor Plasma update they were gone, so never bothered again. It’s like at least 10 years too late, but thankfully they remembered about that.
Pretty sure that’s the kind of updates people would like to see more often
Never heard about °R and °RA before this meme
I installed Fedora on a 2015 MacBook pro. It works well, though the camera doesn’t work and bt is bonky, to say the least - but I couldn’t care less about that.
Thank you so much :) Hope to see it soon!
Hey, I’ve done a translation to spanish (sorry for the duped comment, I just found this thread), it’s already in the weblate - though not sure if there’s something missing from my part. It’d be great if you can include it to be available so I can see if there’s something that needs to be fixed
Of course it’s a good thing, but it’s not something Gentoo is particuarly goot at it (nor any distro, that is) but its detractors claim Gentoo says is “lean on resources” only to “debunk” that.
And the myth that is “supercomplicated”, but in the end the only “difficult” part is to install it - in the daily, pedestrian usage it’s pretty much like any other (rolling release) distro. Well, of course except package installation/update times, but it’s beyond to me why people created that false urgency of needing to have everything installed and updated the second you issued the command. It’s not like you won’t be able to use your computer at all while Portage does its thing.
Apparently you can use the USE FLAGS to determine what stuff you want and it’s meant to be even more lean on resources.
True and false; the “something special” in Gentoo is that you can tailor it to fit to your needs, and as far as I know no other distro comes even close - maybe the now almost defuct Funtoo. The “it’s more lean on resources” always seemed to me like a strawman people don’t like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.
No need to thank me, I’d like to contribute by coding but I have no idea about Java/Kotlin/Dart/etc so… I hope you keep with it though - I’d try it again in the future to see how it’s going and hopefully move to Ion. Again, the fact it its FOSS it’s a big plus.
Not a fan of semi-serif fonts, and not digging the rounded “corners” on E and L (while having sharp ones in lowercase L and lowercase i), but it seems it is trying to be highly readable so indeed it should be great for UI stuff. And doing a complete typeface covering such huge character map is no easy job.
I mean, iOS is not doing better in that sense. They both are already mature systems and I think it would be great if they concentrate in polishing and perfecting what they already have (and hope AOSP doesn’t fall into the AI crap) but I guess that’s just me.
Can you provide a live test version, like in codepen or something?
I think they mean it more as it’s not only gonna be Google but Apple who are going to be shoving RCS down their throats of people wether they want it or not by shipping it as default.
On the other hand, the era when corporations cared even the tiniest bit for open standards in instant messaging was gone long ago. Now all instant messaging is a complete mess, we users have to deal with a myriad of apps and protocols that in the end are doing the same thing for the sake of “privacy”, and RCS will not fix that. Nor Signal, truth be told.
I yearn the glory days of multi-protocol IM apps like Pidgin and Trident on Android (though +IM seems to still be a thing) - when you could use whatever you wanted without “missing features” or risking to be banned.
