  • Yeah, was gonna say the same. It works fine for me on native steam. But flatpak steam needs flatpak mangohud. This was actually one of the reasons that I stopped using flatpak steam though. Not a problem against flatpaks or even that it didn’t work. Hell it worked even during times when native steam didn’t work.

    However, lots of small differences like this kinda make it harder to utilize existing software and information when the software and the communities around that software don’t have flatpak in mind.




  • I’m also a Plasma user, and I decided to try it out in a vm yesterday after reading this thread. It didn’t appear to play nicely in a vm. It was honestly the weirdest thing. Lots of freezes in my plasma session. Not the only distro that has problems in a vm, but still unexpected.

    Anyways, there were a lot more packages for it than I initially thought. However, still lacked some things that I wanted to use, and like nixOS it seems different enough that I would need to put in a bit of work to get those things working on alpine.

    I use a 3 different layouts, one of them Btree. And drag and drop one window over the other will swap position of both windows. So functionally, it is working (for me)

    That is cool and I didn’t know about that, but that is not what I meant. In most tiling window managers, regardless of the layout. You can increase the size of any individual window and all other windows will adjust in size.




  • I’ve got issues with both of them, but polonium is closer to what I want. In krohnkite I can’t use btree while also keeping the tiling part. If I drag a tile while in btree in krohnkite they just snap back to their previous position. Overall krohnkite is more polished though because it doesn’t rely on kwin for the most part to determine positioning. Whereas polonium uses only the api’s provided by kwin.

    Lastly I have noticed that you don’t actually need to log out and back in for polinium. Closing all windows and relaunching them has been enough for me.
