Dawn of The First Day
-72 hours remain-

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

running fedora 40 on my laptop, everything is very good, others than fedora own bugs, plasma is very solid

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

40 is not out, is that rawhide?

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

kinda it's called branched they branch it from rawhide and create an "alpha" and run tested and such before opening the beta

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

What feature are you waiting for in Plasma 6?

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 years ago

I want to see how much Wayland has improved

I thought that too, but then I noticed I don't have a single steam game with HDR and Firefox doesn't support it either.

Why wait? Enable kde-unstable on Arch now and profit

@const_void @produnis the lovely new wallpaper 🤭

Ktorrent to work properly ;)

[-] leopold@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 2 years ago

how is ktorrent not working properly now and how is it getting fixed in plasma 6?

[-] pkill@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

will it be lighter on the CPU?

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

Seems unlikely it can get any lighter than the 0.14% CPU load average 5.27.10 is using right now

[-] pkill@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

hmm strange, maybe some applet but when I was using it on my 3rd gen i7 laptop it never went silent and the CPU usage could spike to even 20% when idle

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Maybe something wrong with the GPU in your setup?

I could see kwin using a lot more CPU if the compositing fell back onto software rendering instead of hardware rendering

[-] shadowintheday2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

3rd gen i7 is outdated

Even a 8th gen i7 struggles to keep cool and quiet compared to Ryzens from 2019 onwards running the same stack

[-] Gondolaaaa@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'd go with some applet as the culprit. I use a Haswell i7 laptop and it's quiet

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I run Plasma 5 on a 2nd gen i7 laptop and it's idling just fine and quietly most of the time with no such spikes unless I have several apps running, including a web browser with a plethora of tabs.

[-] joneskind@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

This might be a stupid question but will Plasma6 be compatible with the Raspberry Pi?

Thank you very much and happy linuxing

[-] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'd very much expect it to be. The raspberry is pretty much a normal (if a bit slow) modern computer from an application standpoint.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Needs to be compiled for its ARM architecture, thats it. Plasma also highly relies on GPU acceleration, so this also has to work.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

My problem now is waiting for Fedora 40
