I have zero clue about how GTK and Qt works and how they differentiate technically, but what advantages does the porting of this program have?

Bin ich eher nicht sooo der riesen Fan von tbh.

Ich habe in der Vergangenheit einige deutschsprachige Communities gegründet und gemerkt, dass man, in Summe, auf einer Nischenplattform (Lemmy/ Fediverse) in Kombination mit einem Nischenthema (in dem Fall Solarpunk) niemanden erreicht.

Deshalb bin ich dazu übergegangen, den Großteil auf Englisch zu machen, ansonsten ist es verlorene Liebesmühe.

Man kann aber, so weit ich weiß, seine Sprachpräferenzen im Profil angeben. Dann werden deutsche Posts, wenn man Englischsprechender ist, ausgeblendet und nur Deutschen angezeigt.

The SMART didn’t help. It showed full health and no errors.

I had something similar when my drive started to fail.

At first, it was annoying, because the cursor froze all the time, just like yours, then programs started to do the same, then they started to crash without reason, and in the end, even my unbreakable OS (Fedora Atomic) broke randomy and incoherently.

What did I learn? Don’t cheap out on drives, and keep enough backups.

The only issues I had were due to fractional scaling (blurry apps, especially Electron based ones; and windows opening or moving to weird edges, where I can’t move them anymore).

But those were already a few months or a year ago, and since I switched from Gnome to KDE 6, I have zero issues, neither on my laptop (integrated on CPU), nor on my desktop with an AMD GPU.

And even over a year, almost two, ago, Wayland has been very smooth for me. I used Gnome for most of the time, which has always been very solid with Wayland. KDE has been a bit more janky in the past, but nowadays, Wayland feels way smoother and polished than X11 for me.

I use Casa"OS". It’s fine, but nothing groundbreaking. Cockpit for example can do pretty much the same, and for Docker containers, I nowadays mostly use docker compose.

But hey, it helped me a quite a bit in the beginning, and it’s cool. Pretty basic, but enough for most people, mainly beginners.

You could maybe try Bazzite or Aurora/Bluefin.

They are all Fedora Atomic, the “immutable” Fedora variant, and offer baked in Nvidia support.

The cool thing is:

1. If the driver/ Wayland breaks on your install, then it will break on thousands of others simultaneously, and the devs can fix it very very quickly, because every installation is identical.
2. If it breaks, you can roll back in seconds and keep using the image that still worked yesterday. And in the meantime, the developers are already working on a fix, which takes just hours or a day max.
3. You don’t have to install and update anything yourself. Just do your computer stuff and stop worrying.
4. There’s also a GTS (or whatever it’s called) variant around, which is the last major version of Fedora. You won’t get the newest stuff and will be half a year behind in terms of features, but then there won’t be any surprises. I believe the bluefin:gts isn’t around yet, but will come with the next major release.

If the software you have to run is specifically designed for one distro (e.g. something that’s only in the AUR, or written for Debian) you can use Distrobox.

This creates a small, lightweight container that allows you to run any software from all distros on your host.

I, for example, use Fedora Atomic, and I mostly use an Arch container that’s fully customized for me, including having the AUR enabled.

If you liked Kinoite, then you can still consider it and run your stuff via Distrobox

Oh yeah! Definitely!

Tumbleweed is one of the best Plasma experiences you can get and not as widely known as it should be.

It’s mainly the release model.

Kubuntu is Ubuntu. So, two major updates a year, where the state is basically “frozen” in between. This gives everyone time to fix bugs, giving you a more stable experience.

Neon is rolling release on everything regarding KDE, but has a very stable base OS. Advantage: newest and hottest KDE stuff, but it maybe has some rough edges and doesn’t provide you with the newest kernel, which usually isn’t a big deal, but you might miss out on something.

Is there a reason why you want something Ubuntu based?

You also have a few other options:

• Debian: older (still has KDE 5.27), but very stable and tested
• Fedora KDE: similar to Kubuntu, but more vanilla and less shitty in my personal opinion (Snaps, etc.)
• EndeavourOS: Arch based, beautiful customisations applied OOTB, sane defaults if you like Arch
• Fedora Atomic KDE (Kinoite) or Aurora: the newest image based (immutable) variant. It’s what I use and would recommend. Very reliable!

I’ve created a new community called !c/hydroponics. I’ll post those pictures there :)

I’ve jumped head first into hydroponics this year, and the last few weeks and months went into perfecting my balcony.

For the minimal space I’ve got, I have a lot of plants.
For those, I tried to make mostly passive and simple setups, so no spray towers or stuff.

I can post a few pictures if someone is interested, and I’ll probably create a new community too for that wonderful topic.

I barely need to use water, my plants are almost pest free outdoors, and they grow twice as fast and big compared to soil. Fits perfectly into this instance!

Logseq! Right now, you can only self host the database and sync it with Syncthing for example, but the dedicated sync feature is currently in beta and will be self hostable afaik.
