Btw with TOTP the server has your secret credentials too, pretty crazy.

This should be an effect not changed icons. Maybe the taskbar still uses scaled PNGs?

Try to use a 256x256 PNG instead

Btw !kde@lemmy.kde.social

A yes, the fear of opensourcing.

Trust me, proprietary code is often total garbage because nobody looks at it.

Like any other distribution with KDE software.

Kubuntu deviates from upstream, which is problematic but shows that it can be done differently.

Someone has to be the first.

Arch unstable, Fedora Rawhide, Debian Testing…

The first Plasma 6.1 update has been released yesterday.

I think I have it since a few days on Kinoite?

Plasma is not the default desktop of Fedora.

Not yet, but a close second.

noobs who should stick to defaults anyway and also not make experiments with Atomic editions either.

Noobs should absolutely use atomic editions. Totally. Every bad behavior should just break so they dont mess up.

The system is resettable which is so valuable. It has transparent changes. It has integrated backups.

But taking Fedoras defaults is difficult, as Fedora Flatpaks and Toolbox are not really great.

If you mean downloading random stuff from random websites, yes.

But they dont have installers, so no verification, no moving to locations where executing is allowed (on Linux the entire home is executable which is a huge security issue) no desktop integration, no context menu, no file associations.

Wow, cool app!

It is not false.

There is a workaround for updating the bootloader, but I often use “how well does it scale” as a measurement.

Atomic should replace traditional distros, and apart from the need for improved tooling everywhere (like easily converting random files to RPMs) it has the big issue that currently GRUB is not updated.

This means the system is not possible to keep installed over many versions, without tweaks. This will hopefully be fixed with bootupd integration in F41.

This means users with secureboot get issues on newer Kernels, if they installed Atomic a few versions back.

Here is the Atomic issue tracker and I would call a few dealbreakers, while not all.

Damn I had this on my noscript allowlist

Yes, but often alternatives.

There are Krita and Pinta too

Appimages have no install wizard. And Windows executables have some weird signature verification which Appimages dont have at all.

Thats how packaging works.

On Android I use Obtainium, as the package manager deals with signature verification. On Linux, Flatpak is the only equivalent to Android apps.

RustDesk is the only Flatpak not from Flathub I use, because they have messed up permissions.

You can already try it, all these people just waiting XD it is VERY new so you need to test it and report bugs. There may be basic things for your use case missing.

Really nice, need to test on my Thinkpad T430 once it has Heads Coreboot flashed

Yes probably agree on PopOS, even though never used it. Also their DE will need a lot of time, I hipenthey dont ship it too early. I dual boot it, actually the Fedora Atomic image.

Yes, Silverblue is the GNOME Atomic desktop but as I said it is not finished. There are many things not done.

Fedora simply takes what KDE offers, and the whole VRR etc. additions seem to cause tons of bugs.

Already reported, not sure how helpful.

But being the first to implement KDE releases… is problematic.

Poorly it introduced multiple crashes this session… error reports already sent, btw I dont think downloading debug symbols works on Fedora Kinoite?

What about just, written in Rust?

That is already used in many projects.

Maybe GNOME got more stable… but the non LTS kernels often cause issues, and KDE is currently unstable again (while it worked perfectly on Plasma 6.0)

I find it pretty problematic how Ubuntu is messed up and still used as default distro.

Fedora has issues with always being a bit early. I prefer it a lot over buggy Kubuntu, as I use KDE, but for example now 6.1 is too early and still has bugs, while Plasma 6 was really well tested (with Rawhide, Kinoite beta and Kinoite nightly being available)

Fedora has tons of variants and packages, and COPR is full of stuff. The forums are nice, Discourse is a great tool.

It uses Flatpak, but adds its legally restricted repo by default.

The traditional variants… I think apt is better. I did one dnf system upgrade to F40 and it was pretty messy.

The rpm-ostree atomic desktops are really good, but not complete. For example GRUB is simply not updated at all. This is hopefully fixed with F41.

Or the NVIDIA stuff, or nonfree codecs, which are all issues even more on atomic.

So the product is not really ready to use, while rpmfusion sync issues happen multiple times a year. This is no issue on the atomic variants, but there you need to layer many packages, which causes very slow updates.

I am also not a fan of their “GUI only” way, so you will for example never have useful common CLI tools on the atomic variants, for no reason.

It is pretty completely vanilla, which is very nice.
