Question about High Refresh Rate Monitors and High Res Monitors on linux
  • No. I run 3x 1440p 144Hz monitors with KDE Plasma on an NVIDIA 1060 GTX, no issues at all.

  • Trying Fedora. Never rebooted so often in my life
  • So after reading the comments it's not that you need to reboot. It's your need to process notifications.

  • Touch screens on linux?
  • Yes. Dell 7391 2in1, works great. I have Fedora KDE on it and I flip it into tablet mode and use it on the couch.

  • Things like this turn people off from Linux
  • This is a Thunar issue, not Linux in general. It works with Dolphin's filter bar.

  • help: var folder on ubuntu won't stop filling up
  • Install ncdu, then sudo ncdu -x /var it'll tell you what is taking up space, then if you tell us, we can help you identify how to minimize it and keep it low.

  • How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later?
  • I've never worried about this but I'd use Flatpak. The whole install goes in a specific directory and the metadata/config/data files go in their own specific directory.

  • This Morning Cemented My Love for KDE Plasma
  • I don't think we've ever been seen in the same room, so anything is possible.

  • Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?
  • Don't. Use Nextcloud.

  • Casually running 3 operating systems on one PC
  • This is a rather low-quality post. You didn't even tell the audience what operating systems you are running.

  • Ignore The, A in Dolphin
  • I don't believe this is possible however you can quickly filter the current folder you're in with Ctrl + I and start typing. That way if you're looking for The Matrix you can just type Matrix and it'll show it for you.

  • This Morning Cemented My Love for KDE Plasma
  • I love the default Plasma Breeze. I just want to have a usable interface and get work done. But I do LOVE that Plasma can be made to look like practically anything.

  • Restore Thunderbird's previous look

    Thunderbird 115 introduced a new look. I hate it. Not only does it no longer fit in with KDE Plasma, it lost functionality due to it's new integrated search bar in the title bar.

    So I went on a mission to fix it.

    To restore the regular title bar:

    Go into Settings > General > Language & Appereance and uncheck the Hide system window titlebar

    To remove search bar:

    Toggle toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Config Editor (bottom of Settings)

    Find your profile directory via Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory (or about:profiles in same page)

    This directory should have lots of files e.g. prefs.js and places.sqlite

    Create directory chrome Inside that folder, create a file named userChrome.css with the below content:

    #unifiedToolbar { display:none !important; }

    Restart Thunderbird

    Enjoy!
