I had been on Linux communities for so long that I thought this thread was about the default music player in GNOME Desktop Environment

Edit: typo

Don’t worry about it. That rule hasn’t been relevant in a long time since we no longer use floppy disks

I agree, but then again, neither Windows nor MacOS tell you where their file paths are. It’s not like Windows tell you where AppData is. They don’t even show file extensions by default.

That said, there are quite a few Youtube videos explaining about Linux file paths.

I don’t know whether the same would apply to GNOME, but perhaps it could be. Perhaps there were specific packages for configuring color, but I also never used GNOME so I couldn’t attest to that.

You can always change the font on your ebook reader. I know Calibre has the option.

Perhaps the required KCM (KDE configuration module) for that is not installed in your system. That did happen to me in my minimal Debian setup.

I don’t really remember the name of the package, though. I think it was kscreen, but I might be wrong.

This is the blog post that details KDE’s plan to remove X11. The linux experiment, as far as I know, also mentioned it in his linux open source news videos.

I had to install X11-session for KDE, after switching to that it works fine again.

Unfortunately, KDE is planning to remove X11 session entirely around 2027, so if the problem still persists then it might be wise to find another distro or stick with old KDE versions.

Personally, I have XFCE installed alongside KDE for running programs that are buggy on Wayland (which was few and far in-between). Otherwise, my hardware supports Wayland well (as it only has Intel integrated graphics anyways).

Nah, software update is like people in another way:

When you have been anticipating an update because you’ve seen the features it would add, and you know the updates are rarely problematic, then you get very excited to get them (this is how I feel about GIMP 3.0 update).

But when the update is forced (because the app forces you to update before opening it or if you’re just straight up forced to install it), and it frequently breaks stuff, then that’s mood.

I mean, it could be. Intel integrated graphics don’t generally need additional drivers. That said, I have run KDE on stock Kubuntu and Debian and (outside of minor glitches, ofc) rarely had a problem.

From my experience, KDE can run well even on older computers. I have used KDE with only 2GB ram, a 10 year old dual-core Intel Celeron CPU, and an integrated GPU, and it runs rather well, if only a little laggy here and there. Of course, XFCE runs much better with that setup, though.

Just like a certain great philosopher said, “The sun is a deadly laser”

Does that make it an Australian pizza?
