How do I troubleshoot a black screen on #KDE #Plasma? I am able to launch apps just fine, but:
- the desktop is all black (no start menu, global menu etc, and the desktop background isn't getting rendered)
- the window decorations are HUGE.
Is there any easy way to debug this? I had initially suspected this was due to my using #Stylix on stock #archlinux, but no, disabling it didn't change a thing (apart from the theme).
I do have custom desktop effects and window decorations installed; so I suspect that might be the issue. How do I disable them if systemsettings does not launch (for some weird reason)?
It's definitely not a kernel issue (I've tried on the stock Arch kernel and the CachyOS kernel), and it certainly isn't a graphics issue (stock mesa etc, and I don't have a dGPU on this machine).
Will send screenshots in a while. Any and all help appreciated! Thanks in advance. Toots and boosts welcome.

Hey, all you #COSMIC Desktop fans out there… weird question. Is there a way to add animations to the desktop? I find the sudden appearance of windows jarring, and I prefer there to be more visual feedback when opening, moving, or closing windows.

@ElyseMGrasso I would just install the vanilla Debian Linux, perhaps using the headless installer (the “small installation image”) to save a little time, and then install the
kde-standardmeta-package on top of it.sudo apt-get install kde-standardDebian has become very stable, even for hardware like BlueTooth and WiFi which, back in the day, never really worked reliably — nowadays it is completely reliable (in my experience). The only “bad” thing you can say about it is that it’s packages are not updated regularly so you don’t always get the latest software. But it is rock-solid stable and predictable.
As another option, I think MX Linux is a good choice as well.
(EDIT: didn’t think anyone would reshare this, but that’s cool. Let me just add some hash tags.) #tech #software #linux #LinuxQuestions

I've asked this on Bluesky, but I guess this is a better audience…
Can someone explain the appeal of the Dolphin file manager? Lotsa folks seem to swear by it, and I've never really understood why.
I use my file manager to move files from one place to another, copy them places, and to open them. If I need to do anything more complicated, I'm in a terminal.
And Dolphin makes moving and copying files through drag and drop annoying.
So… why do people love it so much?

I haven't followed closely what happens under the development of SystemD, neither the news about it.
Today after doing my timely backup of my whole hard drive I have noticed a bunch of tmpfs created by SystemD. What's going on, does anyone have any info on why suddenly there's a bunch of tmpfs shown up under the "df" command?
