From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm so glad that work is being done on session restore on Plasma. So many of my issues with Plasma have been fixed over the years, but this one has always been a big showstopper for me.

Kwin crashing and taking everything down with it is not something I want to happen on my work machine. Most of KDE's bugs I could deal with, but not that one. Losing hours of work is an absolute no-go.

Session restore is probably the biggest thing that I've been looking forward to for Plasma 6

I'm still not sure it'll become the desktop I'll use all the time, but I'm wanting to give it a try again to see how it goes.

Still no fix for the confused half-rounded, half-squared window decoration? Looks tacky.

You can select different window decorations.

They don't work as well with Firefox, and with window decoration shadows. Also, rounded window decorations that are out there don't do Firefox well. (I get that that's also on Mozilla some).

Well, those sound more like issues that should be fixed. You not liking the way Breeze looks, is not a bug...

Firefox uses CSD by default, so that isn't an issue that can be fixed (unless you turn off the CSD in Firefox's settings).

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Which one are you referring to?

[–] leopold@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 9 months ago

presumably the default Breeze decorations

[–] 0oWow@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Breeze.
