I don’t think I was out of line, sorry you feel that way. I think you should calm down.
You said your sorry but that’s not a solution. So I replied basically saying you can’t decide what is and what isn’t a solution for someone. What was the need for you to say that it isn’t a solution? I mean anyone, and I mean literally anyone who doesn’t even use Linux can tell that it isn’t a solution per se for the KDE issue. So there’s no need to state the obvious. Therefor I didn’t think that is what you were doing, stating the obvious.
Communication is the key. You don’t need to be unhappy with me. I wasn’t intentionally trying to upset you or wrong you in some sort of way. I don’t know you.
But I will always try to refute what I see as erroneous concepts or views because that raises everyone’s understanding. I have no problem standing corrected as that will only improve my understanding.
But in the future with an issue like this I believe ALL possible solutions should be made available to the person so they can make the best decision on what is best for them.
I think that problem is simply with combination of hardver,kernel and Plasma…
I managed to make it work…
Some themes don’t work, but for example “WhiteSur” theme have option in window decoration exactly for scaling so you can pick default,x1.25,x1.50 or x2.0 and 1.50 with combination of no borders and tiny buttons seems to do a trick, menu is still too big, but I can live with it etc…
It’s still not 100% good, but it’s usable and I can do work while wait for update…
I tried cinnamon,xfce and they really work, but I don,t like them, I used GNOME before KDE and probably if I need to ditch KDE I would decide to go back to GNOME, but for now I’ll stay with KDE if I don’t see more bugs.
Thanks everyone for trying to help
Only you can decide what it is you want whether it is a solution or not is yet to be seen. Cinnamon does work better for scaling but there are those like me that love it and those that don’t. You may be able to get KDE set up properly and it should if it’s on 1920x1080 display. But it’s your decision as to what works best for you and what you like or don’t. No one can tell you that. You’ll find out soon enough after trying it. Hope you Endeavour!
lol am I missing something? I think you are saying what I was saying. lol But then again I’m not sure if your referring to my choice to use Cinnamon. Sorry bit confused.
I did decide to go to Cinnamon and for me it was an easy fix and I’m very happy with Cinnamon.
Sorry for bad english.
I tried different DEs just to check are they working. And it’s true, with cinnamon,xfce and gnome I don’t have problems, but for now I will stay with KDE because I manage to make it work well enough so that I can use it on daily basis.
But if I see some other bugs on KDE then I will think again about switching to different DE, most probably on GNOME…
You were told it wasn’t a solution to your problem on KDE. I was just saying no one can decide what’s best for you even if there is a solution for the issue. You ultimately make the decision what you want to do. Cinnamon is a good choice. Some people like myself like it a lot. For others not so much. But your decision what you do. Not confusing at all!
Yes that’s what I was getting at when the conversation went a little south. I read what you were saying and I was just agreeing. @PezerAFC came in somewhere also which I really didn’t pay much attention to. It’s all good!
hahaha cool. I was starting to think its one of those days again when its coming to the end of the day and my brain stops working and I can’t think clearly.
When you start tinkering - everything becomes unstable - that is inevitable.
Manjaro is rock solid - that is if you don’t tinker with it - then it is like everything else.
The update cadence of Manjaro can be questioned - but then again - if you don’t tinker with it - it is as solid as Arch - slightly more on stable branch - one example is the systemd updates around 23x where Manjaro did choose to delay those - only the users on unstable was pestered.
Whether you choose pure Arch, EndeavourOS, Bluestar Linux, Anarchy Linux - you name it - they are all as stable as the tinkerer is.
Maybe…
I didn’t tinker to much with Manjaro and I chose it because “it’s rock solid stable distro in Arch based world” I had two major updates(on stable branch) and both made issues to my pc…
First time couldn’t login to my system, second time sound didn’t work…
On endeavourOS I had 2 major updates on old laptop(while I trying out), no problem at all, today first update on new laptop(that includes updating kernel and nvidia drivers) and for now I don’t see problems…
I don’t want to say that EOS is more stable than Manjaro, probably sometimes here I would have problems also, but I don’t expect problems after every update, but while I was using Manjaro, I needed to make tweaks and fix problem after every update that includes updating kernel, drivers and similar stuff other than just updating apps, so at least I wouldn’t call Manjaro rock-solid…
And beside this topic, I talk to some other people and lot of them told me same as people here, if you don’t have problem with learning and doing stuff with terminal, than EOS is probaby more stable than Manjaro and better pick if you really want to use Arch…
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I hate Manjaro, Manjaro is the reason I get in love with Arch world, and reason why I don’t want go back on Ubuntu, Fedora etc even though they are more stable for a newbie…
Who isn’t going to add their own settings, apps, and tweaks to a OS? While Manjaro may stay somewhat stable it breaks 3rd apps more often after a major Manjaro update than either EOS or Garuda. Now as for Garuda after receiving and reading the email on the new ISO releases I’m considering installing the KDE Ultimate version for my roommate over EOS. I really like EOS cause I get to built it up the way I want, but for my roommate he really needs something that he can just run.
