I think this has been this way for a little while, but Breeze offers the ability to take it from the half squared/half rounded window decoration to a full rounded version. You just have to enable the thin border option in the Breeze window decoration settings. (sorry I'm not at a Linux OS right now to say exact name of the setting).

HOWEVER, I discovered that Firefox has included the option to make it's own bottom border rounded on Linux, which up until then was a sore point for KDE themes. To enable it, in Firefox about:config, turn "widget.gtk.rounded-bottom-corners.enabled" to "true" and restart Firefox.

I have no idea how long that FF setting has been there, but I'm really glad it is.

Now we have fully rounded window decorations and a proper looking DE. Thanks!!

1. I start my computer ;
2. The loading screen appears ;
3. The login screen appears (but logging in will not work) ;
4. The screen turns black with underscore ;
5. The login screen reappears (logging in will finally work) ;
6. I'm logged in.

It has been like that for a while, I expected this bug to be found & fixed eventually, but after running an update today, it still hasn't, which is why I'm now posting here.

So, when the login screen first appears :

• either I have time to type my password & press enter, but afterwards the login screen still disappears then reappears as if I never tried to log in ;
• or I'm still typing the password while it disappears then it reappears as if I never started typing ;
• or I wait for it to disappear & reappear, and only then I can finally log in.

What to do ?

Thank you

A nice little anecdote and important message

Some time ago (I think january) Amarok, was updated in Debian, from 2.9.x to 3.x (now it is 3.2.2). After the upgrade Amarok no longer showed the things from the database (lyrics, listen counts, etc).

I would like to restore the statistics database but I did not find the steps. Could you point me to the right instructions, or provide some advice about how to work on this?

Just found out about this guy on YouTube named Nuxttux because I've been trying to make some social media videos.

Kdenlive is a completely different beast than the one that I remember using a couple of years ago. It has so much functionality in it, like all the "TikTok effects", proxy clips, rendering previews, visualizing effect curves between keyframes... like damn. This is actually legit software now for my basic needs.

The thing is, it seems like these were all added in the past 2 years, because I had 23.x installed through the Debian repo and I upgraded through Flatpak to 24.12 and it seems to have added all of these?

Anyway holy shit. Go give these guys some money. This is game changing

I looked at KWin::Window on the Kwin scripting API page but didn’t find any ways to make a given window become maximized.

I configured steam to open on a separate desktop using window rules, but it also grabs the attention and plasma will automatically switch to the desktop it opened to. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

Steam opens 3 windows, so switching to another desktop will be reverted 3 times.

I did some looking and there doesn't seem to be one, unless you know of any. Ideally I want a modal file manager like Yazi: it's keys are highly inspired by vim with H J K L navigation (H & L for traversing directories), a visual mode for selecting files, and lots of commands and customization. The one thing its missing is a grid view to preview image files. None of the orthodox file manager seem to have one, including Krusader which I just looked at. I'd love to finally stop using the mouse for file management and could go with either a TUI or GUI manager.

Hi all!

I recently installed Tuxedo OS with KDE and Wayland. I'm fairly new to Linux and, so far, the distro is great. With one caveat.

As far as power options go, everything works fine EXCEPT for Sleep. I can put the PC to sleep, but when I wake it up, I land on the login screen wallpaper with the login/password fields barely visible, as if frozen around the second frame of a fade-in animation.

Nothing works. The mouse cursor doesn't move, the keyboard doesn't do anything. The only way out of this state is to hold the power button until the PC shuts down and then turn it back on again.

I did some digging, but couldn't find a solution. Some threads mentioned modifying something in systemd, but those were from years ago, so I didn't want to risk that.

One fairly recent thread had a proposed solution of adding "mem_sleep_default=deep" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.

That didn't work for me, though.

I'd love to fix this, but I'm out of ideas. Any help welcome!
