Right, back on #xfce today after yesterdays play with #kde wayland; it's getting better, I did hit a few annoying minor bugs, but rendering worked fine and the only thing that really made life painful was the lack of keyboard/mouse sharing, which should be fixed in the next KDE release and might already be in other wayland DE's; I'd still like something a bit lighter weight than KDE.
An Unabashed Geek at that. As much as I like the way Apple looks and feels, I detest that you are locked into it. The same goes for Windoze.
With GNU/Linux you have multiple #Desktops. #Gnome is probably the most popular (but please for Gawd's sakes don't quote me). Then there's #KDE (which makes me think of Windoze). Then #Mate, #Cinnamon, #Budgie, #LXQt, #Deepin. These are just a few. Each has it's own pros and cons (LXQt is extremely light on resources but not very customisable). Deepin has incredible graphics and animations, but is extremely resource hungry. Mate uses Gnome 2 (because the author hated Gnome 3). etc etc etc...
I just spent two hours trying to get #Firefox to use #KDE Dolphin as the default file manager.
I went on a journey from .desktop files and mimeinfo.cache, through DBus, to .service files.
I shook with anger when everything seemed configured correctly, but Firefox would just not launch a file manager at all. Click that "show in folder" button and nothing happens.
I have now found the problem.
The problem was: systemd. :angery:
Why. Is. Systemd. Involved. In. Launching. A file manager. 👀
Congratulations to @tobias, one of the NeoChat maintainers, and to all the other successful candidates on being elected to the Matrix Governance Board! 🎉
This is the kind of stuff that drives me crazy in software. 👀
Konqueror is an amazing file manager, I love the ability to split the window horizontally and vertically as many times as I want. I would love to use Konqueror as my main file manager. :blobcat:
But... there is no way, apparently, to make Konqueror always show the sidebar. Every time I open it, I need to hit F9 to explicitly show the sidebar.
