Not my screenshot, but yeah, this seems to be several standard KDE widgets bundled together. You can always open System Monitor app, though, if you want to check your system through a customizable, organized dashboard. Or, like it’s done here, group standard widgets to enjoy them all in a neat fashion.

(Both can be set up to show you literally anything, and you’d be surprised how many sensors are in your computer)

But seriously, as a KDE Plasma user, I have to note it’s extremely customizable. It doesn’t have to look or behave like Windows at all, it’s just a default.

An entirely different look? Sure! All sorts of completely customizable shortcuts? Yep! Tiling? If you so wish!

The thing that made Plasma my forever choice is that whatever I want to make it, it delivers. It has settings for everything.

Here are just two examples of the non-standard KDE looks by the way:

I contributed money, translations and properly filed bug reports to various open-source projects. But I don’t think people who don’t shouldn’t speak out. Being unhappy with a certain change signals the direction for the devs to make their code better.

Besides, KDE is no hobby project; it’s a nonprofit with full-time workers on a wage. Nonprofits are always kept to a high standard of accountability, and are resilient enough to turn negative feedback into directions for growth. It is in part this feedback that led it to develop the best DE out there.

Not every Linux user casually writes init systems. Not every Linux user is a programmer, even. Even less have competence at promoting their project so that it would be meaningfully adopted.

“Be the change you want to see” is cool and all, but Linux userbase can have opinions.

As someone who relies on systemd, but wants to have alternatives:

While it is good that other login managers will still be able to start Plasma, making the default new login manager reliant on systemd is bad. It means that non-standard installations of KDE will now require more manual labor to make it work right. And while installing sddm is not big of a hassle, this sets a precedent that can later be expanded, making it a death by a thousand cuts for everything that dares not use systemd in its operation.

Especially when your first distro is literal goddamn Arch with a few bells and whistles

Today, I use MPV to handle the most screwed video files

yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).

Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.

Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.

Anna’s Archive is the world’s largest collection of pirated books, scientific papers and more. Recently they turned to pirating music as well, starting by dumping 86 million tracks from Spotify.

All of the scraped content is available in the form of BitTorrent shares, so you can always download parts of it and spread them further.

The OP wants a convenient way to access this collection and play music from it.

Ready to be killed, I guess

When you post from standard Lemmy interface and add a picture, it adds it as a link that may overwrite the URL you have entered. Annoying, but it is what it is.

Add a picture first, and then replace the URL with what you link to.

Su often takes more time and is more involvedz even if it’s a difference between very little effort and no effort at all.

For example, I update and install apps through CLI about once a week, and I’d rather just bang the sudo <update command> than go su, enter root credentials, and only then go for what I wanted in the first place.

So for all that time one could do THIS?

Just got massive drives and pushed everything onto them, so my seed to download ratio is 0,21.

Promise to give it all back, though! Already up from 0,19 yesterday, so shouldn’t take too long!

(God bless my VPN for handling it all)

Then in fact you do give back what you take, so, really you’re not a leecher in the first place!

You’re just sharing the data outside the BitTorrent network, and it’s awesome!

That’s one of my gripes with Arch, too. It takes too much manual interaction on an everyday basis, it’s not a “set it and forget it” kind of system.

To some, sometimes lesser, extent it also translates to its derivatives, be it Endeavour, Garuda, Manjaro or whatever strikes one’s fancy.

Fair enough. Honestly, fear is the main barrier

If you can open a YouTube video, open a terminal and not scream in horror, you fill all the prerequisites.
