I wanted to try using i3 with debian. I installed i3 and opened it once. When I went back to kde it keeps giving me this error. It used to flash a black screen with debian's logo but now it just show the desktop. I'm going to attach the error's picture in the post. If anybody has a solution it would be great help. Thanks in advance!

I couldn't attach the picture because it was too big I added a imgur link

So I'm stuck with Ubuntu LTS on workstation from my employer and cannot do anything about it due to policies/enrollment software. I will be able to update to 24.04 soon, but it doesn't help much, as it ships Plasma 5.27 - which isn't bad, but there's a leap of features and general polish to the new Plasma that really shines on more up-to-date distros and fixes some annoyances.

And honestly, LTS gets old so quickly that I have to go to external sources like Flatpak, Homebrew or Nix for fresh stuff anyway. That Ubuntu install is then thin underlying OS that stays the same for a long time. Even 22.04 is then fine for some years to come.

As for the build, I used kde-builder (kdesrc-build) and jump through a big pile of hoops with dependencies. I needed to manually compile some of the required libraries that were either too old or missing. I downloaded Qt from the official website in the most recent stable version. When all is properly set and done, it works like a charm, just like on my other(archbtw) box.

If there's some interest I could try and put together what I discovered in a form of something like tutorial, but that would be a lot of work for an info that's useful for just handful of people. Anyway, if you try to do it yourself, feel free to ask questions if you're stuck on something.

Hi, i have been using KDE (now on KDE Neon)for a while as my daily driver and have been wanting to improve the email/calendar situation.

I have seen Merkuro releases and announcements, but no instructions on how to install it!

Please help - how do i use Merkuro!?!? is there a flatpak or repo somewhere.

TIA

Do i do it, idk if it looks better or worse [Yes i also felt like changing the eyelashes]

[Yes im using Ibis Paint X, i don't have any good device suitable for Krita since I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 😭]

Kross was a scripting framework dropped in KDE Frameworks 6 with no announcement that I could find. I'm trying to find a reason to add to Wikipedia. Looking at the commit history, I'd guess due to being unmaintained, but that's original research.

Calligra is the office and graphics suite developed by KDE and is the successor to KOffice. With some traditional parts like Kexi and Plan having an independent release schedule, this release only contains the four following components: Calligra Words: Word Processor Calligra Sheets: Spreadsheet Application Calligra Stage: Presentation Application Karbon: Vector Graphics Editor The most significant updates are that Calligra has been fully transitioned to Qt6 and KF6, along with a major overhaul of its user interface.

KDE is at the 21st edition of LUDOVIA in Ax-Les-Thermes, Ariège Pyrenees, France. Visit our booth from August 26-28 to explore KDE's digital technology for your classroom.

You can register on-site. See you there!

Hi all, I have a desktop and laptop with a touchscreen. Both running Plasma/Wayland. English is my second language and I search things in my language often. Maliit works just fine on the laptop, but it's basically a dud on the desktop. I can only enable and disable it. It never shows nor work at all on the desktop. Tried onboard, gnomes on screen keyboard, and that thing is useless, too. Anyway to make Maliit work or is there an alternative? I really need it for the desktop. Thanks.

STK is the main reason I started to draw Konqi, so uhh, this was the first drawing, with Katie featuring as Cheerleader.

What's everyones opinion of the two? I enjoy KDE Plasma and want to use an Ubuntu based system but don't have any experience with these two distros.
