What is fusion here?

We don't use pint here. We have some traditional measures that have different absolute values depending on location. We are almost totally metric here.

What is this Arc?

I had forgotten all about this suite. Good to know it lives.

Personally the most important thing for me is MS Office compatibility. May be if all the open office suite teams get together, they can solve this.

I got it installed, not sure if it was nature of theme or if I did it correctly. It felt really off to me, luckily it was on a test user which I deleted now. Installing and configuring Kvantum felt like blindly groping in the bathroom with soap all over face.

I won't be experimenting with it anytime in near future.

 

In Folder view mode of desktop if I place a folder on the desktop, it can overlap any icons on there already rather than refusing to sit in occupied areas. Is it the desired behavior or am I missing something?

Can we have a KDE splash that shows progress animation rather than the present static one?

 

For eg. I installed Blur-glassy theme today to check with all options selected in my Fedora 40 installation. Still I needed to install the blur option separately and colors too. After everything still Dolphin and Discover do not look anything like the picture shown.

I have seen this while trying out many themes. They either partially deploy or sometimes not.

Is it because they were built for KDE 5 and this is 6 or something?

This is not limited to taskbar as shown here https://lemmy.world/comment/11769386

The dragging and dropping is for adding fresh widgets using Add Widget and not to drag ones that are already on the desktop.

Here is a screenshot I took after I managed to figure it out. It seems I cannot use it in a tiled fashion though so at a time only one can be in focus.

Thank you for editing your original comment to reflect that 😎

 

Is there a way to diagnose cause of appearing and disappearing SSD in a desktop when SMART is OK? Mainly NVME M2 type.

"task bar" is the magic word I needed. Thanks.

Haven't heard anything so far, what are they?

No gatekeeping. We did not have to answer any question, write any essay showing we were worthy etc.

Reddit refugees were welcome no question asked.

Once were in, we found the admin/founder to be cool, open and reasonable.

We stayed.

What is grouping plasmoid and where to use it?

EDIT: I managed to figure it out with the help of other members here and another stranger on the internet.

  1. Can be used on both taskbar and desktop.
  2. Needs to be in Add Widgets screen, first add Grouping Plasmoid to desktop and then drag and drop other needed widgets into it.
  3. No sign of tiling option available still, top tab bar lets you change the one in focus.
 

I have a multiboot setup and use rEFInd to boot. The EFI option named after Neon actually fails to boot it. I have to go to the specific kernel named option to boot it.

I thought re-installing the bootloader might fix it.

 

When we launch Dolphin, we see a pane on left side listing both mounted and unmounted partitions. If I click on any partition, I can view it but I do not get permission to write to that.

As a regular user who is the only user for this PC, how can I set it up so that it gets mounted on clicking with full permission?

 

I am just a regular Linux user with a bit of additional interest in customizing. I can install things from the store, change settings in the GUI comfortably etc.

Occassionally there are things I am looking for are not available already but could be with few simple tweaks. For eg. right now I am looking for an analog clock widget different from the standard one already available. I need to reduce its size and/or change its background.

I believe this could be done by changing the clock source and building a new clock.

Currently I am not knowledgeable enough to do that and also with insufficient free time to learn everything. I would try if there is a standard pre-built ISO configured to this need with all tools pre-installed.

Is there such an option available?

 

In the KDE store I find only one analog clock widget with day or night colour theme choices. There is one other strange steampunk or something such clock design.

Is it very difficult to design such widgets or nobody uses an analog clock?

Can I without knowledge of programming take the existing clock (called Community Design) and modify it easily? If yes, what is the method?

I had a tile with which I could open a TV remote on my phone and control local nerwork Android TV.

Suddenly I am no longer seeing that tile. There is an called Google TV which has an option to display the remote but it is too cumbersome.

Do you know a way to restore the tile to the pull down options?

I am using Motorola G82 5G Android 12.
