Good for them. Hope more follow suit.

Why not write a script that does that and set it to run on boot?

The whole samba filenames thing is configurable. I only use linux systems and I ran into that same issue.

By default samba seems to mangle file names. Not to mention that Windows systems don’t tend to support naming your files whatever you want the same way they do on linux so we need to map those characters to something else. To solve this I include a few different entries in my samba config file to fix the issue.

mangled names = no
vfs objects = catia
catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8,0x2a:0xa4,0x2f:0xf8,0x3a:0xf7,0x3c:0xab,0x3e:0xbb,0x3f:0xbf,0x5c:0xff,0x7c:0xa6

That’s just if you choose to go with samba. I only use it cause it was easier to setup than NFS when I tried.

just assume that all of these are referring to the server components of these pieces of software

• jellyfin
• dlna
• syncthing
• samba
• ssh
• wireguard
• i2p
• sunshine
• rdp
• miniserve - simple http server, used to use apache

That would certainly be a weird one.

I been on endeavourOS for a few years now and I updated to plasma 6 at some point and just switched over to wayland on my 3080. Works fine in my opinion. Not perfect, but fine.

Glad that it works for you. I may have to switch over to the flatpak then.

Nope, I’m on KDE.

I don’t do temporary conversations, but this is the open issue on the flatpak https://github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal/issues/454. The thing is, I’m having the same issue as the flatpak even though I’m not using the flatpak.

Nope, its basically the same issue that the flatpak is happening, but I’m not using the flatpak. https://github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal/issues/454

I have a couple problems with it aside from being electron.

1. On linux, whether it is a native package or flatpak. I have to launch it twice for it to open.

2. I can’t restore chats from my phone to the desktop application which frankly sucks. It makes sense if they don’t wanna have to store extra data on their servers, but at least let the backups that I manually take on my phone be usable on the desktop. Not having the majority of your conversations from before you linked the desktop app is a pain in the arse.

My only problem with Signal is the inability to manually sync conversations. Even if I have backups from my phone. They can’t be used on the desktop. I have seen some third party tools, but even those state that they might not work.

I swear I think of this every time someone mentions kde should just fix bugs. I follow Nate’s blog weekly and try to keep track of any other work that is going on. 90% of any kde release is polishing, bug fixing, and refactoring or outright replacing old code that was causing issues. For some reason, people seem to consider colors changing from blue to red a new feature.

GWE

The primary maintainer stepped down, but there has still been work done by other contributors. The primary problem is that the underlying library is reliant on x11. This is the same reason why nvidia-settings doesn’t have all of its features on wayland. Basically if nvidia’s on tool doesn’t work then there is no way that green with envy can either. There is an open merge request attempting to switch to a different library that Nvidia says they plan to move to eventually, but it is slow going.

Not OP, but I use sunshine and moonlight for streaming my pc to various devices. Wayland forces me to use kms and I can’t turn the monitors off while I’m doing it. Someone was working on a pipewire backend, so hopefully that goes somewhere.

GreenWithEnvy is also a nuisance on Wayland while Nvidia Settings Panel doesn’t even work. I have a custom script just to control my fans on Wayland, but I’m eventually switching from Nvidia anyways, so it won’t matter for much longer.

There are real issues with Mozilla, but most of these people are complaining about nothing. Constantly whining about every little thing to the point you would think they are saying they are worse than Google.

Agreed, I think it is one of those things that people use so much they don’t think about it enough to vote for it and in some ways you could say that customization is a direct result of modularity of software.

I read the words hybrid cpu 5 times and still thought this was something about hybrid graphics.

You are saying that they should make GUI’s. I thought we were talking about guides here?

I swear when it comes to forced updates of any kind it seems like this kind of outcome is always inevitable. There will at some point always be a bad update.
