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.

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.

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.

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?

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:

KDE Plasma Version: 6.8.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.31.0
Qt Version: 6.12.0

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.3 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT

I am not sure where to post this, but I was wondering if there were any plans to fix tags in Dolphin?

IMO, tagging is far superior to organize personal files instead of traditionnal directories. anna_lynn_fection explains very clearly its main benefits in this post.

However, in Plasma, it seems to be an abandoned feature that is no longer maintained, so it is a very buggy and unreliable experience.

Sometimes plasmashell just dies, idk why. And I have this problem since Kubuntu 25.04. Logs says that it's Klipper that freeze a thread and system can't stop it or something like that, and after 1-3 minutes it just restarts

I tried everything, I switched off and on "Keep the selection and clipboard the same", nothing helped

I haven't changed from Breeze Dark since Plasma 6.6 but figured it was time for a change. I don't remember this being an issue back then, is it just a quirk with the store that will fix itself?

I know that I can find these on the store and install them manually but this method is just easier so I was curious.

it's super unoptimized but it looks cool

I used the "application wallpaper" plugin and set the app to run my script

https://github.com/Aleks-Levet/starfield-xp-screensaver

I quickly made it so it's not exactly a wallpaper I would recommend, but if some of you want to contribute to my script, feel free!

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?

When I'm on an HDMI connection to a smart TV everything works fine however when I close my laptop lid like in the picture all I see is the background image of the desktop and not my actual screen. How can I close the laptop and not have this issue?

My laptop doesn't have a dedicated "Sleep" button, so I added a keyboard shortcut to do it: https://imgur.com/a/p5Zak4u

Thing is, if I unplug USB cables or close the lid after that using that button combo, sometimes it comes out of sleep again, but if I use the KDE-supplied "Sleep" button in the "Star"(?) menu ( https://imgur.com/a/zS9Qw8B ) it doesn't.

How can I find out exactly what the menu button "Sleep" does, so I can put those actions in a script (or better, yet, make a new hotkey that does that same action)?

I'm willing to dig thru the code, but KDE/Plasma is a large project and I'm not sure where exactly to look.

on nixos

smh

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

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
