I've settled down a bit after an initial #distrohopping adventure ever since #ubuntu starting worrying me. Here's what I've settled down on now, after experimenting with different setups:

1. #opensuse #tumbleweed and #nixos on my primary and experimental laptops
2. #chezmoi to synchronize dotfiles
3. #nix #packagemanager to manage command line utilities across distros with #homemanager
4.i. #kdeplasma + #lattedock + #touchegg preferred on #opensuse
4.ii. #i3wm on #nixos

#i3 is very cool....

@kde is way more powerful than I thought it was..
It's compatible, modular and full of very useful features!

On my previous installations I'd use third-parties for certain tasks, such as #LatteDock and #Conky. This time though, on my #FedoraKinoite installation, I went with the built-ins and I can proudly say they are awesome! You can do anything you want, Plasma is packed with countless features.

hello #kde folks. i see https://invent.kde.org/plasma/latte-dock or latte-dock is in kde org. does this mean that #KDE is now maintaining #lattedock? i havent heard of any news.

These days my #ArchLinux #KDEPlasma uses a 44px standard Plasma main panel vertically on RHS, & a custom 24px Plasma launcher panel horiz at bottom. All lovely. Before, i'd used #LatteDock for that 2nd panel, but abandoned it even b4 its Dev left, due to high-RAM & other bugs. B4 that, i oscillated between #CairoDock & #KSmoothDock. Both remain installed, but unused for yonks. Yesterday i ran KSD but it still is NFG in #Wayland. From link above, i smell a dead project 🤷‍♀️

@jf Yep. I find #KDE to be overwhelming with it’s endless selection of plasmoids and themes, many of which can break your desktop if you mix and match them incorrectly. And don’t get me started on #LatteDock.

I just want a dock at the bottom of my screen and a panel at the top with some easy to reach add-ons. But Gnome went and “improved” things with their quick settings menu with corners so fat and rounded that they might as well have made the whole thing a circle.

#lattedock git has had a fix for plasma 5.27 pushed to it today. For #Fedora users I have rebuilt with the fix

I've been seeing some good rice shots on here so I figured I would share mine!

Que tengan feliz #ViernesDeEscritorio.

Las novedades en mi #EscritorioGNULinux de esta semana:

- Cambio de imágenes de fondo por fotos que tomé el sábado pasado.
- Agregué un selector de color en pantalla al #LatteDock (y me estoy arrepintiendo de no haberlo hecho desde que me enteré que existía)

kennt jemand eine gute Alternative zu #lattedock unter #KDE #Plasma ?

Unter Arch läuft das nicht mehr rund. #qt5-wayland ist dafür verantwortlich

Even though #LatteDock is a bit broken on recent #KDE #Plasma versions, it is, imho, still way superior to every other maintained alternative. No, setting up and using a Plasma panel as a dock doesn't compare - I have tried it and it isn't very good.

if it annoys you how janky #lattedock has become on #plasma 5.25 and 5.26, I packaged the latest git build for #Fedora on copr. It contains wayland and fixes that Psifidotos wrote before stepping back from development, but it might make somethings worse.

I am not a dev, nor a packager

Personalizando hoy un poco #KDE #Plasma en #Arch añadiendo panel flotante arriba y #LatteDock abajo como es habitual en este escritorio.

Going back to #lattedock (git version) and adding in a surprise! #Linux #XeroLinux #xp

Has #lattedock been picked up? Last commit 17h ago... Stay up to date here (Official Git) #KDEPlasma #KDE #Linux #xp https://github.com/KDE/latte-dock

With #LatteDock on the way out the search has begun for a replacement ... Found this one that was made for #KDEPlasma called #KSmoothDock Not much in the customization department but looks promising. You can find here. https://bit.ly/3Jx8x8T #Linux

@mld@norden.social Das war früher irgendwie anders, da hat ich Cura ganz normal als Schnellstarter in #LatteDock aber seit dem #Ubuntu update meckert er wegen temporärer Pfade

@mld@norden.social Ja ich wüsste nicht wie das anders geht bei #LatteDock ?
