You’ll probably have to wait a couple of years for stable to catch up or you could try sid and see if that has it.

Happy birthday and congratulations on creating the best desktop environment.

It’s enterprise design that sucks, often it’s written in Java - Hello World

I agree, but it’s really not scary

That’s not scary. The trick when dealing with that kind of review is to parse out the technical and not take the rest personally, which maybe takes a certain kind of personality.

Why is he scary?

We’ll drive off that bridge when we get to it

While that’s encouraging, I would still make a full backup of my data and have a plan to replace the drive while I investigated further.

Yeah, I’d be checking the smart stats on my drives and doing a full data backup if I didn’t already have one.

Flouncing off is about the drama of leaving, not the time served before doing so. You can be in a role for decades and then flounce off!

It works just fine on my laptop - Intel, openSUSE

It mostly works fine on my desktop - Nvidia, endeavourOS

Since the explicit sync fixes, the only problems I have are janky scrolling in Firefox / Librewolf and a couple of bugs with panels. They are annoying enough that I use X11 on the desktop.

If you mean the drama I’m thinking off, that seemed to me to be a guy taking on a role that was always going to be 90% political because people are resistant, and sometimes downright hostile, to change and then flouncing off when it was 90% political.

If you do decide to go the web route, I recommend Build Responsive Real-World Websites with HTML and CSS and The Complete JavaScript Course 2024: From Zero to Expert! as a good starting point. Being Udemy, you don’t have to pay full price. If they don’t have a sale on now, they will fairly soon. The courses are worth full price though!

Waddyamean “that’s what backups are for” Sorry, wrong community

I have now. It looks quite interesting too. I’m still trying to convince myself that out of date Nvidia drivers are a reason to move, guess I’ll see if we get the 560 drivers.

Maybe I was lucky but I didn’t experience many bugs with Plasma 6. One or two minor ones that were fixed quickly.

What I like about it is that Plasma with Wayland is now mostly bearable with an Nvidia card. It just needs Tumbleweed to update the Nvidia drivers and I think it will there. To the point I am considering trying EndeavourOS which I’m sure already has the latest drivers.

I’ll add that Kubuntu is still on Plasma 5.27 and you’ll have to wait until 24.10 to get the Plasma 6 goodness.

I’ll also add that everyone forgets openSUSE Tumbleweed as an alternative.

I console myself that I am getting older and won’t see the worst of it.

Wait till you hear about the poodle clipping
