For what it’s worth, I recall some turd at r/graphic_design swearing at Inkscape because it was “communist”

But it wasn’t “win XP mode”, and if you take a look, it doesn’t look like it at all - it was an attempt from RedHat to provide a consistent look to both GNOME and KDE. There were Windows ports of Bluecurve.
(TIL Bluecurve caused a domino effect that made a developer quit RedHat)
For what it’s worth, yesterday this thing was mentioned here.
I still can’t use it :( It compiles now, but when trying to set it all I get is this:
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.
Out of the loop, what changes made it ‘unusable’?
