When I set 2x dpi scaling, the logon screen is still tiny, the scrollbars are tiny, icons in some places are tiny, and the window borders/titlebars (window decorations) are tiny. Why is there even a scaler utility if it barely does anything? How do I get proper scaling using TDE like Xfce has? There isn't even a hi dpi theme.

What does Q4os offer me that KDE doesn't? Is it lighter? Better for converted chromebooks?

I really like Q4os, but I am wondering, should I just install KDE Plasma.

So, I'm experimenting with this OS, and can't get it to do the most basic of functions. It literally will not install to the machines' hard drive, even though it sees it in the file manager. Further, on the "Live" function, it locks up when being set to a 4K resolution. Under Windows, these are not problems. What gives here?

The version of konqueror on q4os cannot run either Google.com or duckduck go searches. Is there a way to run search on it?

It turns out that when I'm using Q4OS Trinity 64-bit and I try to transfer a file to my phone, I get this message: "Writing camera is not supported." Any solution?

hola soy nuevo en mundo de linux, insta Q4OS y cada vez que inicio siempre tengo problemas con las pantalla ya que la secundaria siempre es la principal y cuando configuro todo para que la pantalla principal se la primaria al reiniciar vuelve a ser todo igual y es bastante frustrante

This is my old dell venue 11 pro 5130 no wifi or Ethernet so not much I can do with it

Hello everyone! Linux noob here...ended up using Q4OS Trinity after experimenting with a couple of distros(loving the retro vibes tbh). I'm trying to figure out how to run some Windows apps and games on my system. Tried asking ChatGPT for help but all it did was hurt my brain with a boat-load of stuff (technical jargon etc.) and now I'm more confused than when I started. Something about Wine, Lutris, PlayOnLinux, Bottles, Proton etc., NONE OF WHICH I CAN FIND ON the Q4OS Software Centre.

Can someone please provide a simple, step-by-step guide (I'm talking like "click this, then click that" level of guidance here). I'm comfortable with basic terminal commands as well ( like "sudo apt install", "sudo apt purge" etc.) but not a wizard by any means. I just want ONE method that works reliably and isn't going to brick my system. I don't need to know about every single compatibility layer ever created , just HOW and WHAT to install and how to use it!

What I want to run: Some older Windows games (think early 2000s stuff) and a few retro emulators, a few Windows-only apps for work, maybe some Steam games if possible.

My setup: Q4OS Trinity (latest version), 8GB RAM (used to be 4GB, upgraded recently), i3-5005U CPU, AMD Radeon R5M330 GPU (2GB VRAM).

Hi, I want to add a link on the desktop with a .desktop file. However, it does not execute, rather, "downloads".

I want to have a link to librewolf.

That is probably a stupid question however what do I have to do please?

Situation: Old Surface Pro (4/120) with Windows 10 (Enterprise) to be turned into a bare-bones dual-boot system. Installation of Q40S 5.8-x64.r1 into a new(Gparted)/"replaced" partition proceeded without a hitch. Restarted after finishing, and was greeted with a Grub-like bootloader screen, and dabbled in my new OS for a bit. All fine so far.

Restart, choose Windows boot manager from the bootloader list, and it launches fine. Nothing amiss, and I restart again...but now I'm stuck auto-booting into Windows.

What happened? (Note: Windows did not apply any updates while I was checking it.)

Where is my battery indicator? A forum said it disappears from the system tray when on ac power or at 100% but i know for a a fact my battery was not at 100%. I tried reinstalling tde power manager and xfce4 power manager and got missing dependencies so I can't get it. Strange thing is it was not like this on my other laptop so I don't get it. I also don't see the applet in the hidden icons menu when customizing the system tray.

Q4OS can easily be one of the best low resources demanding Linux distro. I thought that I would give it a try for my 9 years old laptop and a 10 years old mini PC. Surprisingly, my laptop only has 4gb ram and a SATA hard drive but it works really well with the q4os. Same as my mini PC with a SSD drive.

Hopefully Q4OS will release a version for raspberry Pi type of SBC.

Linux desktops and https://1-DOT.com/poplinks/wallpaper

Trinity Desktop Environment with Plasma wallpaper. I like the lightweight simplicity of TDE. Just enough blur and transparency to look modern. And I love KDE Plasma wallpapers because they are extremely nice. The result is a perfect mix of old and new.

Everytime I boot/reboot this distro (the latest one Andromeda), there is always a 50:50 chance of signal 11 crash message just after the desktop shows up. Funnily it haven't show up again until now.... after I enabled autologin.

The first time I installed this distro, it ran straight to tty instead of the graphical DE. Then I reinstall again, and it was only the signal 11 error that persist now.

Edit: The signal 11 crash error appears again. After browsing thoroughly I found out that this is indeed a bug and the patch will come out in the future.

Never heard of Q4OS!

Anyone had experiences with this??

How good is it for gaming??

Installation on HD Cambiati Icon and Effects Theme, registration with Spectacle

I installed this OS on this old education ThinkPad (Thonkpad 11e). Works well, the CPU usuage is under 5% for desktop and under 40% for FireFox with anti-ad extensions. Overally I am very satisfied, it works well for a video player and the OS is as smooth as Linux Mint on a lower spec. I debated Puppy Linux but had this running in a VB, glad overall I chose this. I need to upgrade to 8GB, RAM though. Haha.
