The worst kind of an Internet-herpaderp. Internet-urpo pahimmasta päästä.
just spitballing here, but: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/geogebra/ -> requires java-runtime, so it’s a java-app?
the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Java ) seems to have some leads - but my takeaway is: with gtk3 it might work but otherwise the feature doesn’t exist yet, but I dunno. Only java-app I run in wayland+plasma is Netbeans and it seems to work fine as is
man, it’s been ages since I last saw this movie. Sober me’s todo for tomorrow: meaning of life, python. GET. ON. IT.
“20$ is 20$”
which said it first: kofi -funded developer or onlyfans star?
don’t we all? But we’re here to make boring business software for MBA’s
https://xkcd.com/323/ this? and the fact that most of my programming breakthroughs have come while in “two beers” territory.
edit: actually, no. MOST of my programming breakthroughs have dawned on me while sitting on the can. But second most is “two beers down”.
I’ve always thought the “buy me a cup of coffee” was a thinly veiled euphemism for “give me beer”
edit: also, I have contributed. There’s this one android app that works to translate between different wargaming/miniature painting paint brands (as in color matching), the dev straight up asks for a contribution for beer. It was so brutally honest I had to.
if you use the archinstall to setup everything (partitioning, locales, de’s, etc), not that much, but def. more than some “everything and the kitchensink straight out of the box” distros. The installer worked nicely on 2 machines I’ve tested it on, a laptop and a desktop. While the base system and graphical desktop installed nice, there was quite a bit of manual tinkering left.
But, steam works more or less the same on linux as it works on windows - but there is some proton version selecting, and even then absolutely everything doesn’t work.
Personally, nvidia+wayland (and xwayland in general) is pretty horrid with some games, but supposedly that’s supposedly getting fixed next month… It’s always something and the fix is so tantalizingly close.
and, it’s not like the EOL for win10 is that close, seems to be October 14, 2025, so there’s still plenty of time.
sample size of 1, admittedly, but there’s so few times I’ve managed to break arch - which I can’t 100% attribute to myself.
Once the updates broke, somehow wiping bash -binary and kernel. Not entirely sure how or why, all I did was a normal pacman -Suy. I might have issued the pacman -command from a long path which didn’t exist anymore, not sure if relevant or not. Hasn’t happened since, so… dunno. It did spook me a bit, but nobody else at the time reported similar issues.
I’ve ran arch for years at work (webdevelopment, desktop and laptop), home server (irc shell, mumble, etc hosting) and now home desktop too (gaming, media, dualbooting with win10).
The home server has required a powerbutton -forced boot once or twice, many months of uptime & regular kernel updates can apparently mess something with networking and usb, so can’t ssh in and keyboard doesn’t get regognized when plugged in. So, you know, reboot after kernel updates? :D
It’s always a good idea to check the website for breaking changes which require manually doing something, there has been a few along the years.

Seems like Johnny got a package of acid was up on the shore.
As a kid I used to watch that screensaver for ages. Good times.
got to say, the update went smoothly and didn’t need to touch any configs.
Feels quite a bit smoother than the KDE 5 on this aging hardware (i5-2320, igpu, 16GB ram, sata ssd). <3
I can now even “alt-tab” backwards with shift! That just didn’t work previously!
or wait for 6.0.1
Kinda looks like that already happened https://archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/plasma/ - basically everything is version 6.0.1
I might have missed something VERY obvious - I did skim through check the mkinitcpio, grub and microcode wikipages - but just merging .pacnew to current config (mkinitcpio, grub defaults), mkinitcpio -p linux and grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, newly created grub.conf still had intel-ucode on the initrd -line. This happened on both machines I have atm.
Arch forums had the magic words here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2154769#p2154769
Add this line to /etc/default/grub then regenerate grub.cfg:
GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_STOCK=''
and then my grub.cfg generated fine without the intel-ucode, and after rebooting dmesg seems to indicate the new method works fine
[ 0.314430] microcode: Current revision: 0x0000002f
[ 0.314433] microcode: Updated early from: 0x00000014
Always something :P
worked fine on my android phone, using Connect.
worked fine on firefox & linux, the file shows as .webp to me.
Decided to investigate this a bit: when opened to new window, the image url has ?format=webp query argument, if I change that to ?format=jxl then it breaks as the server actually provides a .jxl file. At least I had to TRY to break it :P

oh wow, my system had accumulated ~4GB worth of orphaned stuff.
And as a sidenote: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-log-orphans-hook - adds a pacman hook to notify the user if there are orphaned packages after an update.
huh, turns out these moved to aur ages ago, as apps like gwenview and spectacle stopped using these. So “older” KDE/Plasma installations might have these unnescessary packages still laying about.
Thanks for the heads up!
Its pretty close, but ideally I’d want to have it fit fin/swe layout without using modifiers to type ö and ä, and have them more or less where they’d be on normie layout. (I can live without å, so that already gives 1 key more leeway).
So far pretty much no ortho split allows this, I think. Unless I move enter key to the thumb keys or so. But then again that might be the default for eego/split keebs anyway, I dunno.
Going to have to read up on these a bit more.
this is me, doing php and javascript on daily basis.
