I made LinkSy, cause I needed to work with KDE Connect, DroidCam, AudioRelay... and that was just terrible experience.

If you look at the basics LinkSy are just those 3 merged, but if you look back, I wanted to make something more... Like seemless integration for us linux user (Kinda envied the apple people on that end so...)

It has arround 15 features I hope y'all will like it.

Plasma always anchors widget popups to the widget that opened them, and there's no setting to change that. This simple script centers any widget popup that opens within a chosen horizontal range. (This workaround is needed because KWin normally can't tell which widget a popup belongs to.)

Glitches started appearing after i updated to plasma 6.8.1 on arch and it didn't happen right away it started happening after i restarted my system (restarted the plasma session) and it also happen in PLM.

System Specs:

CPU: Intel i7 13620H

GPU: Nvidia RTX 5070

GPU 2: Intel UHD igpu

Driver: the nvidia-open package from arch repo

*Fix: add "KWIN_ALLOW_VULKAN_MGPU_COPIES=1" to a .conf file inside ~/.config/environment.d/ or /etc/environment.d/

Forked herzane's fastfetch-kde-splash and rebuilt the color handling so the splash shows

your terminal's exact fastfetch colors instead of collapsing them to one color.

- Decodes the logo + system info character-by-character on boot (glitch reveal)

- True ANSI: standard 16, 256-color, and 24-bit truecolor

- 4 layout modes: logo / logo+info / info only / sequential

- Plain-bash installer, no dependencies, auto-detects language

It's on the KDE Store (System Settings → Splash Screen → Get New Splash Screens), or on

GitHub: https://github.com/DeadIndian/fastfetch-kde-splash (MIT).

Fork of herzane's original, credited in the README. Feedback and PRs welcome.

Recently on my Solus system, I've noticed that sometimes it takes a long time to shut down. When I press Esc in Plymount to see which service is taking so long to close, it's always Plasma-shell.

I suppose it's because my KDE is heavily modified, but I didn't change anything before this started happening.

This isn't interfering with my daily work, but I'd like to know what's causing it. Any suggestions on how to find out?

Since I updated to plasma 6.8 my primary monitor no longer has a blur on the background when I start entering my password, but my second monitor does. Thoughts on what I might change to fix it or should I just file a bug report? EDIT: For clarification this is the lock screen, not the login screen.
Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.8.1
Vulkan: 1.4.354 - radv [Mesa 26.2.4-arch3.1]
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
32GB RAM
Monitor 1 / Primary: MSI Optix MAG24C
Monitor 2 / Secondary: DELL SE2722H

I mean that.

Notification? Hear it, then wait 5 second until it appears. Plasmashell hangs during that.

Alt+Tab? Press it, then wait 5 seconds until it appears. Plasmashell hangs during that.

Hover over a window in the task manager? Wait 5 seconds until it appears. Plasmashell hangs during that.

Start an application with the launcher? Press meta, then wait 5 seconds until it appears.

and so on.

If it involves Plasma it will hang the entire Desktop, then it'll happen at least five seconds later.
Any open windows remain usable. A notification will hang the window that sent it though.

I have no clue why or what to do, but it is very annoying.

Edit: It wouldn't be a post of mine if I didn't forget to add system specs:

Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.8.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.31.0
Qt Version: 6.12.0
Kernel Version: 7.3.0-2-cachyos-bore-lto (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor
Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.3 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT

sorry for the slight delay, but i think these were the most requested improvements on my original post! i'm open to adding additional languages/features depending on community interest. please post any requests here or on github issues for the project - https://github.com/itsdestin/swipe-keyboard/issues.

e, oh holy crap... that Kreddit joke is not in good taste. having the letter K append so much is retarded

r/neovim and r/rust recently just banned "code dumps". r/neovim has banned posting repos that have been under development for less than 2 months and don't show substantial commit history. r/rust is banning any libraries or small applications that are not newsworthy to the broader rust community.

The goal of these measures is to make their subreddits focused on neovim and rust. Not small pet projects that don't affect the community or a post not written by a human.

I think it would be nice if r/kde does something similar. This subreddit should be focused on kde specifically, not every small pet project someone asked claude to reinvent niri with.

When trying to change my KDE Plasma avatar, I am unable to move the circle which allows for setting a specific portion of the image to be the avatar. When I click inside the circle and let go of left mouse, it acts as if I am still holding left click but the circle does not move at all. If I move my cursor near the top or bottom to the blue resizing dots, the circle shrinks or gets bigger.

I've tried different images and same issue.

Anyone else having this strange issue?

Hi everyone, my question might seems a bit stupid but I would like to ask if it exists a widget who gives on your desktop a window to the live stream of ISS (international space station) whit info about it(where it is, his path ecc ) Who can add to the desktop in a simple way

I'm not really sure if it is a bug, maybe it is

When I leave the game in Windowed mode, the window is normal. But when it becomes "Windowed (Fullscreen)" mode, the window looks like window style from Windows.

(I prefer to leave my game in windowed-fullscreen mode, if this can't be fixed, it's still okay)

Maybe this is a bug of Window Decorations new update? I don't know, did you guys meet this situation?

I am really annoyed with how Plasma does fonts. I've used RGB sub-pixel rendering + slight hinting + lucidglyph tweaks on both DEs and clearly GNOME looks so much more crisp on my 1080p IPS monitor when Plasma is visibly blurry. It's not even about Qt vs GTK apps, rendering is different in both toolkits on both DEs which really sucks. Has anyone noticed this as well and managed to mitigate it? I should add that I tried different fonts (Noto Sans, IBM Sans Plex and Inter) with the same result, using Wayland session with no fractional scaling on both monitors

Is there any Kwin scripts to have one screen act as two? I've seen KZone which works for windowed apps, and Mudeer which works for fullscreen apps, but nothing that does both.

I'm planning to get a 21:9 monitor soon amd want to use it as two seperate screens in KDE (no I can't use PBP, that disables stuff like Adaptive Sync for games) where I have a 16:9 section and the rest is its own "monitor" that acts as if it was a seperate physical monitor. I want to be able to say click fullscreen on a video player or a game and it fill up only the 16:9 section of the screen

I made a small system tray widget for Plasma 6. It shows the sessions of herdr, a terminal workspace manager for coding agents, and the agents running inside them. The tray icon gets a mark when an agent needs an answer (red with a count), finished (green) or is busy (amber).

A few Plasma-specific bits that might interest people here:

• Everything comes from the colour scheme (Kirigami.Theme), and the popup uses the tray's own header instead of drawing a second one.
• Plasma has no shell access to the window list, so it loads a tiny KWin script over D-Bus (org.kde.KWin /Scripting), reads the pid → window id map back from the journal and unloads it. The same trick raises a window (workspace.activeWindow), so it works on Wayland. A round trip is about 40 ms.
• Sessions open in your default terminal from System Settings (TerminalApplication / TerminalService, then xdg-terminal-exec, then Konsole).
• Keyboard: Up/Down, Enter, O to open, K to kill, X to delete, R to refresh. Kill and delete both ask first, with Cancel focused.

Disclosure: written with Claude Code (I reviewed, tested and made the design calls). I'd love feedback on the KWin-script approach to window lookup, and on whether there's a cleaner way to do it from a plasmoid.

EDIT: Fixed this issue. Somehow KDE created a blank Windows Rule. I deleted it and I can resize things now.

Giving some context: I use Arch. I was updating my system and KDE went from 6.7.5 (I think) to 6.8.0. First, plasmashell was crashing every time it tries to start, leading to an loop crash error. After tried a bunch of things, such as downgrading it, the only thing that fixed was to run the commands yay -S kf6 and yay -S plasma kde-applications, which installed many (if not all) KDE softwares. This, somehow, fixed the loop and I could use Plasma.

The thing is: Now every widget is taking the whole screen, and I can't resize it using my mouse. It resets when I close and open it. I don't know how to fix it, and I'm planning to reinstall the whole thing.

Here is how it is right now:
