Yeah the nodered flow on the target device is for handling shutdown(sleep) and status reporting back to HomeAssistant, so in HA the computer is a simple switch with on/off states

Oh neat!
I made a custom solution for WOL and remote shutdown using nodered and MQTT, but this is so cleaner than maintaining a custom solution
I hope a previously suggested goal of improving KDE for organizations makes a comeback. It was basically all about all the things a business/organisation would need to roll out a fleet of KDE computers, mainly tools for remote / centralised management by an IT department.
In the wake of Windows’s recent and continued trend, more and more public institutions, universities, government etc should be looking at switching away from Windows. There’s also EUs recent Digital Sovereignty Initiative.
German state Schleswig-Holstein is already swapping 30k computers to Linux
*Happy noises* :)
And I see there’s a plugin for cross-linking between documents! More happy noises :)
And a nightly flatpak build :) Thanks for making it so easy to try out!
directly reflected on your system in the hierarchy of your KleverNotes storage folders.
This is a big deal. Joplin is great, but its database structure is horrible for interoperability.
Hopefully Klevernotes will also be more snappy and “native feeling”. Joplin being Electron can be a bit sluggish sometimes ( which is mildly infuriating given that the database structure was chosen over plain files due to “performance”).
That said, it be nice if Klevernotes was a WYSIWIG editor. There really are a lot of dual-view markdown editors with a preview. For generel notes / productivity I find the dual view distracting, but need the preview for images etc
Instead of one super chunky battery, how about a laptop with replaceable batteries, in combination with a UPS?
UPS is so you can actually replace the laptop battery with a spare one , even during a power outage. Just run the laptop on AC from the UPS while changing batteries. Or see if you can find a UPS with a long lasting battery. Entry level ones only have like 15-30 minutes of battery life though, since they’re more intended for safe shutdowns or brownouts.
Good explanation! And thanks for the CoreHunt suggestion :)
Why did they have their own builds of these projects in the first place? Did they have custom patches they maintained?
They were too preoccupied on wether they could, they never stopped to question wether they should
I know your pain! (Cries in Nvidia laptop) when i bought mine i literally couldn’t find a laptop with AMD graphics in my region.
There is some hope these days. In addition to the previously mentioned Frameworks laptop, there’s also this TUXEDO Sirius 16 - Gen1. (Tuxedo is a German company specializing in Linux-compatible computers). It might not be exactly what your looking for, but AMD graphics laptops are so few and far between I thought I should put it out there.
Woohoo, so glad to see some of these fixes getting backported to 5.27
Shift+dragging windows to custom-tile them now works even if you’ve set your keyboard to do something exotic like emulate the Caps Lock key when pressing both Shift keys together
But who’s this real life space bar heater ? :D
Have you tried X11 yet?
( It should just be a matter of logging out, selecting X11 in the bottom righ corner, and logging in again)
Suffice to say, sluggish performance on your hardware shouldn’t be expected, so something must be wrong.
In KDE System monitor you can try adding a new page to show CPU clock speed , to check if the Dell is not throttling. (Dell laptops throttling on the wrong charger is definitely a thing, but I’ve only experienced on more powerful laptops)
Since you installed pre-release software I assume you don’t mind re-installing, so you could always try Neon Stable with 5.27, Kubuntu 23.10 or another distro entirely, to ensure your laptop is OK.
+2 for KDE Connect, the integration is amazing. I’ve used it on KDE and Gnome (gsconnect), all works very well
I’ve been running Plasma on my Intel Skylake I5-6?00U with 8gb RAM since 2015 and its utterly fine, no sluggishness in plasma itself. It’s still using X11 though, on an old Kubuntu LTS.
Plasma isn’t THAT heavy that it should be expected to feel sluggish on that kind of hardware. And contrary to popular belief Plasma isn’t actually that heavy of a DE in terms of resources.
OP might need to try different compositor backends? I remember years ago testing each before settling on whatever gave me smoothest performance (maybe OpenGL3?). Actually I’m not sure if this is even a setting anymore in modern Plasma, or in Wayland
Thanks for explaining (For some reason my mind went to Dodge Challenger the car, not the Challenger shuttle)
I never new there were that many ignored warnings for the Challenger shuttle disaster. It remains an important cautionary tale to this day. The poor crew never saw it coming
Story time?
Damn, finally! A gaming laptop with AMD graphics :D it looks overall well specced too
Sadly I’m not in the market cause I bought a gaming laptop with Nvidia 2 years ago, and it’s still way too good to justify replacing. Too bad laptops with AMD graphics were made of Unobtainium until now
That’s brilliant! I always forget KDE Connect also works fine PC <–> PC, not just PC <–> Mobile
I did this too :D I used to have 20 pairs of non-identical black socks, which made matching hard and it felt wrong to wear socks of slightly different type or size. Much easier now
I keep getting socks for Christmas though, which I never wear cause they’d mess up the simplicity
Maybe you can install Arch in Distrobox, then install Merkuro in your arch container?
