Worse in the sense of more errors, sure, but as you go you’ll pick up more of the rust patterns of thinking and imo it’s very worth it. It’s an odd blend and can be a bit verbose but I definitely prefer it to a pure OO or pure functional style language personally

I found the effort was in researching and choosing which components to use, rather than actually installing once chosen. It’s easy if you know exactly what you’re gonna install, but on that first build it definitely takes effort if you want to read into all the options and make educated choices

Jokes aside though thank you everybody for your contributions, plasma is the best desktop env I’ve used on any OS

You can no longer open an infinite number of error messages in Spectacle’s UI by repeatedly doing a thing that triggers them, and then not stopping even though maybe you should. (Noah Davis, link)

I thought Linux was supposed to be the “free as in freedom” OS 😭

KDE’s site has a library of custom icon themes iirc, that would be a good place to start getting people to see it. If you wanted to post some examples of your theme here that’d also be cool imo, lemmy is full of Linux users and if your pics are compelling I could see it getting a good amount of attention. Good luck!

FYI it’s back up now

I’ve never made a splash screen, but for other KDE visual mods I like to pick a simple one off their web listing thing in the plasma settings and then just read the source to figure out the basics.

The way I was specifically talking about was for the project to be fully open source, but with an optional paid service aimed at businesses that ensures priority attention to bugs and feature requests. I’ve also seen open source projects with paid binaries, most commonly for iOS where it costs the devs money to keep an app on the app store so users can compile it themselves for free or pay for the (still open source) precompiled app. Open source and paid don’t have to be mutually exclusive, although the culture of free like freedom and free like free beer is great and I hope we never lose that.

I personally don’t mind at all if open source projects want to sell a “pro” version for businesses, as long as it’s still open source. Selling priority troubleshooting and dev attention to issues to businesses seems like one of the less offensive ways to fund open source projects in a capitalist society, imo

It can’t make gentoo users like it 😭

The other apps (probably sonarr/radarr/jellyseer?) are for downloading content, for watching what you already have jellyfin alone will do the job. The only other one you might want is an avahi client, so that on the local network you can connect with [pc’s name].local:8096 instead of 192.168.0.whatever:8096.
Usually for jellyfin alone its enough to install it (from apt, assuming you’re on a Debian based distro), make it auto start with sudo systemctl enable jellyfin, and then turn it on with sudo systemctl start jellyfin. That should be enough to see it running from your local network, although you might have to use your local ip if avahi isn’t on.
Anyway no pressure to jump back into troubleshooting this, just wanted to say it so you don’t feel like whatever programs youtube was recommending are mandatory.

Remotely as in from another computer on the same network, or from another network? Cuz connecting from another network will take some extra steps (usually forwarding a port on your router). The Linux communities on here are pretty receptive to questions if you’re stuck, too

Holy shit the fact you can generate something like this with a fuckin 2060 is wild to me

This is super exciting, sddm works fine but this sounds like it’ll address all the little small problems I had with it. Other than proton games, sddm was the only reason I even had an x server installed on my pc and I can’t wait to ditch it for pure Wayland

It’s possible at the application level for Qt stuff at least, iirc you just pass a window arg to enable transparency. If you mean from like a user settings perspective, idk sorry 😂

Plain 9.1 surround works fine with pipewire, and you can pretty easily hack together a virtual surround for stereo headphones that works pretty great. I’m even using a preset that claims to be atmos, although that seems unlikely to me lol

Using spectacle and vencord (or element for matrix) works fine for me on plasma, although element has a much lower bitrate sadly

Why the dkms version on arch? iirc the wiki recommends not using it, and from personal experience I’d take the pacman version over dkms any day. If there’s any compatibility differences I’m not aware of them, and ime the stability is way better with the pacman version (tho I’ve never used the same driver versions on both, so take that with a grain of salt). I’d bet nouveau is way more likely to solve your issue, but if you want to keep native performance too maybe try nvidia-open rather than dkms

If you have plasma installed you already have x11 installed, so you should be able to switch to an x11 session on login even if just to test this without having to install anything else

The text is only part of the initial info the model uses to create the image - the settings and the random number seed are other parts that are relevant here because they’d be the same for both images. The seed in particular is why these images look so similar - normally when you give the same prompt twice, the seed is randomized so the model starts from two different points. Here, each model starts from the same point and works the same way, just with different amounts of data, so a lot of the details are shared.
