 We should be live. This is my fourth attempt and technology just isn't on my side today. Let's put it like that. Hopefully nothing will die this time. Here's my face. Here's my hobby. Here's my everything. And let's see if I went actually live. Yes. Ask a kitty developer too. It's working. Dropped frames zero. So it should be working. Hopefully. Well, the stream died while I was praising the FernOS developer. So maybe that was the cause. Let's take the chat back. What I was saying pretty much is that it's super cool that the FernOS developer actually helps out a lot in kittyplasma as well. Because usually people who do distributions don't also work in the desktop that they use for their distribution. The FernOS developer is super active and that's a super good thing. So if you want to check out some distribution, totally check out FernOS because I'm super grateful for the developer actually trying to help. If this is working, please tell me through comments in the top chat. That would be super nice of you. Do you prefer kitty or gnome? I prefer kitty. Also kitty is not a desktop environment, but I prefer kitty Plasma over gnome. And the reason is that it just really comes under personal preference. And I feel like kitty Plasma fits me best because I love to customize things. And kitty Plasma makes it super easy. I also love to actually get my hands dirty working on some themes, some uploads. I used to do manually some SVG themes for kitty Plasma and it's super easy. So it's just super cool to be able to actually work, change the appearance of your desktop. However, you'd like to. Yes, this is my fourth try. Thanks for the people actually trying to follow through the various streams. Hopefully this one won't die. I cannot guarantee it for some reason because the gods of the technology are against me. Of course, I also lost a bunch of questions that were in the old chat. So if you want to ask me anything, this is your best shot. Something that's not too technically specific unless it's actually my job. There's one person that was asking about the size of the icons in the Task Manager. That is my job. He is email me or write to me over telegram so we can actually figure out the issue. Yes, light dark transition. Does that mean that at some point there'll be a feature allowing on the fly change between the two? Can you elaborate on what you mean by on the fly change? Like automatic because right now it is on the fly. You just select the dark theme, you click apply and that's it. Maybe you mean automatic. If you're asking about automatic transition, then it falls into the scope of nobody is working on it. It's something that we would eventually like to have, but nobody is working on it. There's third-party skip scripts providing that if you're really interested. How about till tiling manager integration on KDE with one button like PopoS? There is some beautiful work going on with Bismuth. If you don't know Bismuth, check it out. I even have one video. I don't remember the name though. Bismuth does that. It is a very, very nice tiling integration using an applet. So it's actually on the panel. Am I a Baki Monogatari fan? I'll answer the same thing as I said in the other live, but maybe the audio died before that. I love the Monogatari series. I follow it a lot, but at the same time, I think we need to acknowledge that it has some serious plot issues. So it's that kind of love that also makes you suffer on the inside because it's such a beautiful series. And then there's dialogues that makes no sense whatsoever. But I'm totally a fan. The dark mode is not as smooth as GNOME 42. The transition, why? I mean, why? Sure, right now it isn't, but with the merge request that I talked about, it will be smooth. So yes, I mean automatic because right now changing within those needs some services restarts to make everything look the same. You shouldn't need to restart K Plasma. No, it shouldn't be needed. Everything should apply instantly. Everything should apply instantly. If something doesn't try to tell me, maybe open a backup port. Is there any big thing in Linux that you're waiting for? For me, it was Wayland, for others, Steam Deck. Is there any big thing I'm waiting for? I'm totally waiting for the pine note. Like an AINK device would be so cool. I'm totally waiting for the pine note. I totally want one. I don't know if I'll have the money to buy it, but I totally want one. I have sent the screenshot via email about the KineConnect. Yes, I saw it and it does look like a bug. Just by looking at it, I cannot tell what the bug is. But if you haven't, please check out if there's any bug report about it. And if not, make one. Because that's totally something that should be looked in. Unbox Cloud. That's actually news to me. Unbox as a cloud version. What's that? Scalable Android on the cloud. So you just stream mobile apps. Interesting. What's that? I don't actually want it. I just want to understand it. What's this? No, I don't want to chat with KineCon. Thank you. So you've got like Android apps on the browser. I don't know why though. I mean, if I wanted to use an Android application that doesn't actually run on my computer, I would just plug in something like this and then use a screen copy. And that would be perfect. What improvements do you think it needs to be more attractive to the people switching from Windows? It needs to be more stable, I think. That's my take on it. Not really features. Actually, features would bring more instability. So maybe it's really about trying to make sure that what is right now in KD Plasma works seamlessly. It doesn't quite do that right now. And there is ongoing work to try and make KD Plasma as stable as possible. And that's very nice. At the same time, there are some big features that are coming that are very much necessary, like touchpad gestures. Yep. The only thing that I'm aware of needs restarting is changing cursor. Yeah. Yeah. That one is actually needed. Which is annoying, I know. But on the other hand, I have no clue on what's the cause of that bug. So come on, ask something. When will KD Plasma have Wayland as default? That's a very good one. My feeling is that it won't be KD Plasma switching to Wayland as default, but rather, Distros will do that. Padovra, KD Neune, I think, has already done that. Kubuntu, Major KD, I think, will slowly switch to using Wayland for KD Plasma. And after those big distributions, which I think KD Plasma will follow along. What fears do you recommend for Plasma? Fears? Is that the right word? What do you have to fear when using KD Plasma? I don't know that it crashes, I guess. Why don't you use Attiling Window Manager? Well, I use to use theme, okay, theme, not fear. As far as themes go, let me actually show you a couple of themes. Then I'll get to the next question. Nope, wrong one. KD Store, so there is one theme called Painting, which is this one. And I mean, I don't know who made this. I totally don't know who's the author of this theme, but look at here, it looks gorgeous. It has like blur, and it looks awesome. Whoever made it is probably the nicest person on earth. There is also, which I love, another theme, which was called Gimme a Sec. Now I completely forgot the name. It was something. Super transparent. Transparent something. Let's see if I catch it. Maya transparent, this one. Maya transparent is also pretty good. In here, it's shown without blur, but with blur, it's perfect. I totally recommend trying this out. Can you please check out the tax concept? Did I lose some comments? No, I think not. Can you please check out the tax concept, the killer feature of tiling window managers like DWM, because lack of it, okay. Tags concept. Let's check it out. Window manager tags. Techniques for using tiling window manager efficiently. So it's just like tags for windows. I mean, I don't know what's the point. It's a bit like activities, I guess. Can you elaborate, please? Why don't you use tiling window manager? I used to use a plugin for Kiwin. I mean, mostly I do want my computer to have a desktop environment. If it's just a window manager and then I'm supposed to take care of everything. No, I'm not interested in the top level of customizability and everything. I just want something that works out of the box. And so I sometimes try out like tiling plugins inside of other desktops like PopoS. Those are fine. I would probably use it day to day, but it's not a revolution. It's fine. Why do you think virtual machines don't support Plasma Desktop? I mean, they do. You can totally run Plasma Desktop in a virtual machine. The blur will be off by default because of performance, but it totally works. Firefox theme is set to system, but it doesn't update if I switch themes. So it's an issue with JTK theming, I guess. Check out if there is a bug report about it. Otherwise, I'm not sure how to help you, sorry. You had an hard time when you started contributing to KDE because it's starting to tempt me in doing the same. No, it wasn't hard. Honestly, the hardest thing to do when starting to try to contribute to KDE was trusting myself because I put out my work and I was like 100% sure it was bad work. So with time, I recognize that I actually do have some skills in coding and stuff. But at the beginning, it was just me doing merge request and being super scary by people saying, no, this is not how you do things. That's just it. Then actually contributing is easy, I think. You just need to find the thing that fits you. The Fluent theme looks amazing. Let's check it out. Fluentstore.kde.org. Fluent. Category Plasma themes. Nine different themes, which are all versions of Fluent. Screenshot is broken. I mean, this looks like breeze. Okay, it's slightly different. Yeah, it looks fine. It's very well done in its use of the latest advancements that KDE has. So it uses correctly like the header, the bottom bar. So I'm going to praise them for this one. I'm not sure. Yeah, this one blurring very nice. Yeah, this one looks very nice. I really like this. Yeah, it's well done. Yeah, look at this. Look at the textbook. Yeah, it's well done. I like it. Have you tried other telling window managers such as... No, sorry. Never tried them. Why don't you use Arc or Manjaro instead of Ubuntu? Because my computer had Ubuntu out of the box. What KDE apps do you see developed in Rust? There is at least one, which is called Icon-something. Icona. Icona. It's in Rust. As far as I know, this is the only Rust KDE application. But it is in Rust. You've told one before, but it was C++ QML plus Rust for the backend. Or, well, might be this one. Rust QML for the front-end. If it's not Icona, then I don't know of any, sorry. This, as far as I know, is the only app with Rust in it. Can you suggest some flat, non-transparent, matte black theme for KDE? Flat, non-transparent, matte black. I mean, it's probably easier to just do it yourself. It's so easy to actually make a theme. I've done a video about that. Black opaque something. Almost black. Now, this is a color scheme. We're actually looking for plasma KDE themes. Just default plasma value peak. You can use this one and use a dark color scheme probably. There are lots of color schemes that are fully black. Was QT part of BlackBerry acquisition by Chinese? Nope. No, QT is independent from BlackBerry. There are a lot of fancy themes, but no simple and practical ones. I don't know. I disagree. I think that some themes are fine. Some plasma themes are perfect on their own. What are you using for email calendaring? For email, I use Google Mail. Gmail. Sorry. And for the calendar, I actually use tasks.org on my phone. QT is from Nokia. It was from Nokia, yeah. Not BlackBerry. Have you tried using NSMP CPP? What's that? That's where it's no, but what's that? A music player. No, sorry. I use YouTube music because I pay for it. Check Nordic theme. I don't have to. I don't have to. Nordic, I've used Nordic theme and it looks pretty good. I totally know that theme. Check it out if you like something that's not fully transparent but actually looks good. Which breeze, color scheme, color changes, color of lines, separators, etc. Active text, if I remember correctly. Should be active text. There is a proposal to make a new color class to work on separators specifically without changing the text. But right now there's nothing concrete yet. So for now it's text. Why do you use Chrome? Isn't Firefox open source? Yeah, I do use Firefox for anything except when I'm recording. Simply because for some reason Firefox doesn't work when I'm on X11. I don't know. Faren OS is my favorite KDA based distro. Check out Faren OS. The point is that tags are nothing like, sorry, virtual desktops. Each monitor has its own set of tags. Each monitor. Each application can be appointed by any number of tags. Switching between tags you can access the same app. Can you send me via email some like references, some screenshots, because just reading a comment I'm not able to fully understand what's the concept behind this, might very well be super cool and just cannot understand it like this. I am trying to create bindings for Kotlin to Qt and JTK, so business logic can be shared in native code. Any suggestion about JTK Qt compared development? What do you mean, compared development? To be clear, I only ever did Qt stuff. Never worked on JTK. So I have no clue whatsoever on how it works to be honest. I've only done Qt. And Qt, I don't know, I'm not sure what would I be able to suggest you. Been to Battles? Battles. Such a cool program. Totally check out Battles. Qt is really, really good. ATS. If you need something more powerful than Tri-AVS VS Codium, you are making Qt Plasma floating as far as I know, correct. Nice catch. Is it correct that the user would be able to make panel float and out-hide like LutterDoc? Yeah? Yeah? Why not? Sorry? Yeah, sure. I don't see why not. It should work. I didn't test it, but it should work. When will I be able to create vector screenshots of Qt applications? When you're able to do that, please tell me, because that would be something that I'd love to have, but I don't know of such thing coming. Does Plasma allow things to have the same color for the title bar and the window content and no separatum between the two so they kind of blend together? No? No. As far as I know, there's no way to do that. Hopefully, when we introduce the separator color class, it should be feasible, but right now I don't see any way to do that. Sorry. When will Qt Plasma 6 release? Who knows? Probably within a couple of years. Within a couple of years. Don't expect Qt Plasma 6 to be the Qt release that changes everything. It's actually a rather opposite. We're trying just to go conservative with it, not to change a lot and just do the transition of all of the works that's behind the scenes, like the frameworks and stuff like that. In order to map the super or meta key, you should map Alt F and F1. Or just Alt F1. That should do the trick. The first time I used KDE, I was so happy when I realized that almost everything is customizable. It's the thing I really like about Android and KDE is amazing. Yeah, yeah. I also love Android for that same reason. Totally. Like changing launchers. That's so cool. I think there are scripts to adapt the title bar color to the window content. It is possible to adapt the title bar color to the window content. It is not possible to remove the separator though, as far as I know. Maybe the separator underneath the title bar, but not the other ones. There's no way to remove all of the separators. I blended title bar and window content. I mean, if you don't use the new title bar style, then it should blend in, but you still get separators on all of the rest of the window. That's what I meant. But you can remove the separator underneath the title bar. I don't remember how I think that you should not offer other color, something like that. I can check out if you want, if you send me an email. Is Wayland ever going to run on a new video? Look, you're asking the wrong person, sorry. Alt-F1 doesn't work on Ditto. Weird. It should. It totally should work on Ditto. I mean, it should work on any menu regardless of the actual implementation. Double check that you're doing everything correctly and if it still doesn't work, I don't know, either open up a bug report. It's not about Ditto. It could be any menu. Or maybe send me an email. You can try to figure this out. I was serious about what comment though. Review a Circa 1999 KDE desktop environment. Would be fun to see. Reviewing a... How would I even find it? We do have some old images, but they don't actually get that old. But I mean, it's a cool concept. Actually, it's a really good concept trying out very old versions of KDE Plasma. I will totally do that. I'll write it down in my head and I will do that. Not that old, but I mean, like 5.0, 4.0 maybe. What distro are you using? Ubuntu. What do you think about Chrome 42 and Libadwita? Okay, everybody is asking me about that and luckily the answer is still... I don't know. I mean, I'm a KDE Plasma developer. Libadwita in no way touches me, so I didn't investigate on it particularly. Why is KDE slow? Maybe you are slow or maybe you are too fast for KDE. I don't know. No, KDE isn't slow. You can try KDE Plasma out on low-end computers and it will work very nicely. If you feel like it's slow, check out. If you have maybe disabled some desktop effects that might improve the situation. Totally disabled blur as an example. Try to make animations faster in the system settings, that sort of things. But KDE Plasma desktop in itself isn't slow by any mean. I'm really happy for seeing new blood in KDE development. Congrats for the effort. Thank you. And fun fact, there's a lot of very young KDE developers. Very young. That was something that totally shocked me when I first joined. We were at least four to five people in the VDG that we were under 18. I grew up, so I'm no longer under 18, but there's a lot of very young people working on KDE and doing very good stuff. So it's not like we're young. No, no, no. It's very cool because it's like a generational thing. A lot of developers are younger than KDE is. I'm younger than KDE. That's so weird to think about. KDE is fast on SSD, but very slow on HDD. That's so vague. Then it's not KDE being slow, but the HDD being slow. There are virtual machines going back to KDE 3. They can be found in the 25th anniversary announcement. That's right. I do remember that announcement. I'll try to test them. Usually I prefer doing live not using a virtual machine, but trying a live session. I'll try out. Tags are discussed from 7.30 in the video. Yes, but I don't actually... Ah, here. Luke Smith's video sucks less DW. So easy even a comment. Let's bring this one up. I won't watch it live, but I will. Check out the link. Nice. I'll check it out. Promised. Let's close this. Can I use QT for free in my company without open sourcing all of the code? Yes, but you need to pay for it. Ah, no. You said for free. Then no. As far as I know, you have to pay for it. You either pay for it or open source everything. As far as I know. Touchpad gestures help a lot, but will ever KDE get customizable touchpad gestures? Again, this gets the same answer as usual, which is this is something that nobody's working on. Hopefully it will be implemented because we want it. Hopefully it will be implemented soon because there's right now a lot of momentum in gestures. So maybe 5.26, hopefully. We cannot say for sure. You think KDE should continue with a free contribution model or should search for money from big companies and higher developers? They're not mutually exclusive. So right now we do have money. We do gain money. We probably don't gain enough, but that's also because various reasons like our donation systems is getting revamped. I think that we should be more looking to higher developers from now on compared to the past. And that is something that's very much discussed in KDE. So that's the direction we're moving towards. That doesn't mean that we will completely end like the free contribution model. It's just that we keep that and with time we try to make more money out of donations and we try using that to hire more developers. Think of Krita. Krita is doing that. They have the developer funding campaign and they use that to pay some developers even though a lot of people still work on Krita as far as I know for free. Let's bring up Krita.org and we can see that there is the development found. And it's like 4,000 euros every month. And that actually helps our hearing developers. The goal is to get to 15 and hire 5. I see some time in recommended. Yes, I used to watch it a lot some years ago. Do you play PC games? A few. I play Kerbal Space Program. Super good. Outer Wheels. Very good. Riven. Riven of the Mist 2 series. That's actually about it. I don't play much games but those are pretty good. What is the relationship between KDE and LXQT? If you mean relationship as in developers knowing each other, I'm not aware of any. I've never heard of any LXQT contributor KDE or the opposite. So as far as I know, they're two very separate projects. I find there are so many choices in KDE ecosystem like loads of KDE applications, plasma extensions and KDE libraries. However, I also found particularly with KDE application, there is lots of duplication of functionalities like Conqueror, Falcon, Angelfish. Conqueror is that. You should not be using it. Duplication on functionalities is something that I agree with and in fact, if you go to Fabricator, let me show you. Fabricator.KD.org and you search for consistency. You have the consistency goal, which is the one that I'm the leader of. And you have improved consistency across the board with a very long explanation on what that means. And one of the things that I mentioned is different apps doing the same exact thing. Redundancies in the ecosystem. Latidock and the plasma panel. Kmplot in K Algebra. Krunner and the search widget. Kphotoalbum, Grandview and PIX. Falcon and Conqueror. Now they're simple and Angelfish, as you point out. Ammarok, Eliza, J-U-K-E, Eliza. Okay, I put Eliza two times, but I meant something else, which is Wave. Caffeine, Dragon Player, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Now the idea is most of these are actually false redundancies because some are just that, like upper is that. Ammarok, let's say it is that. J-U-K is pretty much that. Conqueror is that. Kphotoalbum is that. What else? Kmplot. Maybe, probably that. Knotes. Nanonot is not from KDA. This is a mistake. Knotes is pretty much that. Nanots widget and boho. Do you use Jdownloader? Nope. Have you ever tried any standalone window manager and what do you think about it? No, I have never tried a standalone window manager because I like everything to just be there out of the box. That's what I like to use. What happened when the previous stream died and it goes? I have no idea actually. No idea whatsoever, it just happened. Qt is not developed by KDA itself. What are the problems, worst case scenario that could arise from this? Worst case scenario, which is the worst worst case scenario, KDA has to fork Qt's code. That is like the worst case. It's probably not going to happen, especially not soon. And even if it happens it's not that big of an issue because we should be able to keep on working on Qt even by forking it. There are some patches that are done by KDA people to Qt. We would continue to grow without big issues, I think. I am very curious how to refresh the widget without killing Plasmashall with the widget. If you change a widget's source code, maybe it works if you remove the widget and add it back, but the easiest way is just to replace Plasmashall. You can also launch a window with that widget on it so you don't actually have to kill Plasmashall. But killing Plasmashall is not killing, but replacing Plasmashall with a new instance is so easy that it's fine to do that. Why does KDA come with... Let's just keep up the good work in developing KDA. Thank you. And remember this. Why KDA does come with coherent themes, just like a commercial OS lack of designer? Why KDA does come with coherent themes? I mean, there's probably a missing note somewhere. Why doesn't KDA come with coherent themes? I guess the question is, we try to do our best. It's not lack of designers. It's just that maintaining a theme is a lot of jobs. And again, most of us are volunteers, so we try our best. What is the battery life in GNOME in opposition to KDA? I have not noticed any significant difference. I can do some testing if you want, but it's mostly the same. Are you Italian? Yes, I am Italian. Where are you from? Liguria, Genoa. Pisto, focaccia. Do you think switching to the KDA forums to discourse like the crit artist's website would revitalize it? I don't know. I mean, the de facto KDA forums right now is the Reddit one. Honestly, I'm fine with having Reddit as the de facto forum. I like Reddit. It works. It would probably revitalize it a bit. There has been some proposals, but maybe in the future that will happen. I'm so sorry you have to use Fabrucator. Don't be, because we actually stopped using that a couple of years ago. Now we don't actually have to use it anymore. Now it's all on KDA Invent. It's just that I was bringing back an old text I wrote, so it wasn't Fabrucator. Greeting from Germany. Hello, Germany. I switched to Plasma thanks to your videos. Thank you. My only problem is the random complete crashes of the Wheelan session. That's indeed annoying. Of course, the only thing I can say is try to report the crashes. I try to include the backlog and everything. I'm not a Wheelan developer, but Wheelan developers will look into that, I'm sure. Crusader, Dolphin, Wheel, Hippo, so many file browsers. The real only file browser is Dolphin. Crusader, I've never actually seen anybody using it. Wheel is under heavy development and Hippo, I actually never heard of it before. What's Hippo? Is it another QML file manager that's in development? Maybe. But I mean, Dolphin is the only real file manager. Do you prefer recommend Gstreamer or VLC as phonon backend? I don't know. I use neither of the two. Sorry. I used Plasma before it was horrible. Now there is a very consistent design. Thank you. And the new overview effect is very nice. It is. Hopefully that will improve even more with time. Same duplication on XFC and GNOME. GNOME apps are better, but the window manager lost itself in 2013. I don't know. It's fine. I'm happy with that. How much canonical and Google contribute to KDE? And how are they contributing? So I don't know this info by heart. And if I knew it, I probably wouldn't be allowed to share it. However, what you can do is go to, I press the wrong key, Chrome. You can go inside of the KDE AV website and check out the reports from the financial working group. And those have the amount of money that has been given to us by contributors. So you can get an idea of what the money amount should be. As far as I know, it's money. As far as I know, I think that some also give us servers. I don't know who's, what's the case? Where is it? Reports, 2020. And financial working group. There is from, I know it's together with donations. So it's much harder to actually know how much comes from supporting members. Then I don't know. How much of these will be donations? I don't know. If we suppose half, then it's 70 hundred, no, sorry, thousand euros from supporting members. And then you go to the KDE website and try to divide it from the names there. Probably. Are there any native email clients that integrate well with MS Exchange? I have never used one that did that. If you find one, please share it with the others. I wouldn't be able to recommend you any. Do you know KTartle? I've never used it, but I know what it is. I enjoyed the idea and the challenge. A recent update, Prokit. Dark on a dark background on GNOME. Could be a variety of issues. Could be dark theme GNOME session. This is dark on dark background. Try forcing a light theme. You can force a theme using dot dash style equals and the name of the style. So like breeze, maybe that can fix it. Are you excited for Kerbal Space Program 2? I don't know. It's hard to be excited for years. We've been waiting for it a lot and I'm not sure if it will live up to the expectations. JTK vs QD. What is your opinion? What do you prefer, pros and cons? Again, I have never used JTK, so I think it wouldn't be fair to try to do a comparison. What I can say about QD is that QML is really good and that you should try it out. That's all I'm going to say. Is there any plan to have a simple settings apps for QD? No. And there is a QD web page. This is the same idea of advanced settings. So you have the simple settings and the advanced ones. The issue is that it doesn't quite work. Any pattern when you have advanced settings doesn't quite work for actual users. And the web page that talks about this is Lesson Learned. This one. You can click on here, basic advanced modes and read this paragraph. Does QD has any inspiration such as Macintosh and Windows? Nope. QD is itself. It doesn't try to copy anything else. Hello from GrotsAstra. Hello. I know that this would be a lot of work. Can't QD just... Whenever I hear the phrase, can't QD just... I know this is going to be a tough one to read. Program the compositor in a way that it automatically looks at the edges, create a mask for that edge and use it to mask for fix. We fixed the corner spec. We fixed it. We can't do that. We cannot do what you're saying. But we actually fixed the bug by implementing a mask SVG. If you say there is not a risk of a low suit for placing standard themes, i.e. copying fluent UI, material design, etc., I would be more too happy than patch it. And I forgot what this reference is to... I'll try to go back to understand. Why doesn't... Okay, understood. We generally don't try to include themes that explicitly copy another OS by default on QD, because that's what the store should be for, not QD out of the box. If we did that, QD would come up as a rip-off. We just have breeze, which is its own thing, and for rip-offs, you have the store. Feel free to do themes, but put them on the QD store. Would you take a job to QD or QD after you finish university? I would happily take a job if such job existed. Right now there isn't, but maybe in the future, maybe in the future. How far are QT6 breeze from release? Yeah, it is being worked on, and the breeze itself won't have many changes, but I mean, should be within a couple of years, in theory, with Plasma 6. Will QD be less frustrating to navigate? Example settings. Yes, we are working on a redesign of the categories of system settings, so that hopefully should help you navigate around system settings nicely. When is the new version coming out on June? The 6th on June, maybe? Something like that, on June. Can you share a link to your desktop images? For my wallpaper, you need to search for Parker Rossofio's wallpapers. You should very easily find the one that I use. Where is it? Somewhere. It was here. Where is it? Ah, here. And you just download this one. So the link is this one. What are the advantages of Wayland over Xorg? Well, there are many videos that talk about that specifically. Wayland has some improvements on the design of how it's structured. You don't get like... I'm totally the wrong person to talk about this. You don't get like the screen tearing and also working with touch and touchpad gestures is easier. And for more in-depth analysis of the two watch a dedicated video, not for me. Do KD developers have more than no mentality, don't theme or the LXQT philosophy? If you break something, it's your fault? Well, we have neither. I mean, we are our own product and we have our own mentality. And our mentality is that we allow theming, we allow customization, and we also take responsibility to make sure that it works. And when it doesn't, it's our fault. I mean, you could do a theme that tries to break things on purpose. We try to avoid that to some extent to the best of our abilities. But I mean, yeah. How is Plasma on tablets? I don't know. It's getting better, but I think there's more improvements to come. I would suggest that Kuri Gami apps are perfect. The shell itself is getting better. It's still some things are still impossible to do with touch, which is slightly annoying. Is the KFM file manager still a thing? Not that I'm aware of. I've never heard of KFM, so I don't think so. Google and Canonicals are KD patrons. Yes. Opinion on QML ads? They don't touch ads at all. I think most people misunderstood what those things were. It's not like QML will have ads. No, that's not how it works. It's just that they provide a framework for developers if they want ads in an easier way to their application. We won't do that, obviously. We're not adding advertisement within any of our products, obviously. As the consistency goalkeeper, do you find that using multiple toolkits such as QML or QW just makes it difficult to get everything to look coherent? Yes, I think so. The biggest issues in consistency don't come from using multiple toolkits, but surely using different ones is an issue. With time, everything is slowly switching to QML. With time, it won't be an issue. Right now, it kind of is. What is the other feature you would personally copy from other desktops to KD if you could? Well, I would have said touchpad gestures a couple of weeks ago, but now KD does have touch gestures and they're pretty good. What else? What else? What does KD need? Accent color from the background. That would be cool. I guess maybe Microsoft has that. Android apps on Linux. Is there a plan to integrate them in KDE? This is another of those. Is there a plan? It's not up to us. It's not up to KDE to integrate Android apps inside of us. It's third-party wedroid that creates entries for kick-offs. It does integrate, but it's up to distributions to ship wedroid by default if you want something like that. Or maybe bottles can help there, but it's not up to KDE to do anything like that. I'm not sure if you would be the right person to ask, but what are the possibilities of KD Neon moving away from Ubuntu? Right now, zero. There's no talk whatsoever about moving KD Neon away from Ubuntu, so zero. Qt5 vs Qt6. Worth the performance benefit compared to the amount of work? It's not just about performance. It's also about Qt6. Qt6 does have new features, bug fixes and stuff like that, so it is totally worth the amount of work that is needed into porting. And we are also doing our own rewrite of our frameworks, so we take the opportunity to change everything under the hood and hopefully everything still works better than before. Do you like anime? I do watch some. I'm a big, super big fan of anime, but I do watch some things, sometimes. Monogatari mainly. I also watched Shinsengai Yori. I watched a lot of time ago Erumanga Sensei, stuff like that. You do Informatica or Ingenera Informatica, which is IT for you English people. Actually, do mathematics. I'm a mathematician. Let me show you my notes. Let's open up Setser. And we've got Calculus 3. This is Calculus 3. I've got Calculus 1 as well, because I still haven't passed that. We've got Mechanic Analytica. I don't know how to translate it. Analytic Mechanics. And we've got Fundaments of Numeric Calculus. I am a mathematician. What programming languages does one need to know to work for KDE? You've talked about young people working for KDE. Now I'm interested in being able to implement things. Seems fun to me. You should check out QML. JavaScript. And a little bit of C++. But mostly QML and JavaScripts. That's going to be enough to actually make a significant change. Believe me. I want to know what are your top three Studio Ghibli films? Tough one. Very tough one. Top three. Surely we need Kiki La Strega in it. Kiki, I don't know what's in English, Kiki. Surely we need the Wind Rises? What's the third one? Let me... Point is pretty good. What else? There are just so pretty. I don't know. I'm not going to say a third one. I'm just going to say two. Is there a place to find release notes for the next Kubuntu release? I don't know. I actually don't know. If you want, I can tell you where to find... No. Sorry. I don't think there's one. Keri is completely unusable on this theme deck with Touch. I wouldn't say completely unusable. There are some improvements, but yes, it's still not the experience that we need to provide. Do you think that both JTK and QT themes can make up looking consistent? Do you think there should be a migration of JTK to QT? No, no, no. Let's keep JTK. GNOME should keep JTK. I don't think they should switch to QT. It wouldn't make any sense whatsoever. I mean, surely the fact that we do have both JTK and QT is tough, because it will make apps inconsistent with each other. I don't think that switching to QT is the right solution, and switching to JTK from Plasma side is completely unfeasible, so we just need to live with the status quo, sadly. Do you game? Not a lot. Chess? I do chess. Latex? Yeah, all of my notes are in latex. So now I'd like to see a video of you trying vanilla GNOME 42. I mean, why not? Let's back and do that. Next week I'll try out vanilla GNOME 42, but just for like 10 minutes. QT and JTK, but what is QT and JTK? QT is a cross-platform software to develop applications. It's the framework that actually draws anything on your screen for KT Plasma applications. So you've got, you say, please draw a rectangle, or a text, or an SVG, and QT manages that. And I suppose JTK is very similar in that. Why is KT is switching to KML? Because it makes development so much easier, like so much easier. Why do you always license as a CC on your videos? Aren't you afraid that someone will steal your content? I mean, right now, for now, feel free to steal my content, because what are you going to do with it? Exactly. I mean, if you put it on YouTube, then I mean, my videos will be recommended more than your videos, so I'm going to get the views anyway. If you put it on other platforms, it's free advertisements for my YouTube videos. I mean, maybe when I'll be a bigger YouTuber, it will be more, I'll be, I need to be more careful, but right now I don't see any issue of people downloading my videos. I mean, just feel free to download them. Kiki delivery service, right? Thank you. I wonder if it would be feasible to make a system to mark add-ons and themes that are verified to work with the latest version of Plasma? Good luck. Sounds very hard to actually do, because you actually need to test dozens, I mean, hundreds of themes. If you're really interested in doing this, get in touch. I guess we can try to figure out something, but your free time from now on will be testing themes, because that's how it works in Kiddi. If you propose something, you need to be ready to put some time in it to actually get it done. Kiddi removed the Breeze Dark GTK theme. Kiddi removed the Breeze Dark GTK theme. Sorry, you're asking the wrong person. I know there is a Breeze Dark GTK theme, but if it got removed, I have no idea why. Maybe it follows color scheme. So Breeze with a dark color scheme will be Breeze Dark. That's how it should work. Otherwise, make a bug report. I don't know. If I want to make a proposal to rearrange system settings, whom should I write? There is an Invent task. My name is this one. My password is, I think, this one. There is a task in system settings, I guess. Not here. System settings. System settings. From here. Issues. Simplify, KSM navigation. No, I think it's this one. Yeah, it's this one. Okay, so this Flatten navigation with logically combined KCMs is the proposed reorganization of system settings. And if you go see, you can see that there's a lot of discussion with even proposals from me. And you can try to write a comment here. If you're interested in contributing. It's pronounced QT, QT, QT, QT, QT. Right, sorry. Do you have to port from Qt6 to Qt6 from .2? I have no clue what's the other story. Kedi has the default desktop on Windows. Lovely, but that would happen. Opinions on the sexy French Linux experiment channel? Well, he has actually helped me a lot in actually making my channel, because when I only had done a couple of videos, I had emailed him asking, how do this work exactly? And he got back to me with a very detailed answer, saying it should work on this. You should improve that area. And it was super helpful. So I owe him a lot. And from the Linux experiment is pretty awesome. In his review of GNOME42 it says GNOME files is JTK3, which is not true. But anyway, one thing that I noticed in being a YouTuber is that if you get something wrong in a video, you're going to regret it a lot, because it's going to be pointed out 10 times, 20 times in the comments. And it's not a bad thing, because I mean, you did a mistake, it should be pointed out. But receiving like 20 comments of, hey, you got this wrong. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. Look, sorry. It's funny. It's not. Have you tried Flutter? Do you see a feature for Flutter in Linux? Not a big fan. It was a super weird move when Canonical removed Flutter as the toolkit for their apps on Ubuntu. That was weird. I don't see a very big future, but I might be wrong. What's the best distro for KD? Depends on what you search in a distro. If you want something stable, I'm a go with Ubuntu. If you want latest, KD Neon. Is there a way to make KDE aware of network interface has become active when not using the SystemD network manager? No idea whatsoever. Sorry, that's too specific in a subject that I'm not an expert in. Does KD Devs consider SystemD Glip Fatpacks to be GNOME Technologies? No, I don't think so. Does it matter? I mean, we can use GNOME Technologies if we want. It's not like they're... Maybe I don't know about that, but I don't think we consider them GNOME Technologies. Maybe. Yeah, if the Racket is good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I think it's a good idea to try it out. I think it's a good idea to try it out. I think it's a good idea to try it out. I think it's a good idea to try it out. Fedora KDE is good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally go with Fedora KDE if you like it. Why KDE in other distros like Endervor, Minjaro, Neon, etc. are much more stable than in pure ARC? It shouldn't be. You... Maybe you installed KDE Plasma incorrectly. I don't know. Nicolo, I found a comment about KDE being too cluttered with the customization option funny. My question to you is, why is my network.org great? I mean, it is totally great just because it's by Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki. It's probably not one of my very favorites, but it works. Like, it's something that you enjoy to watch. It shows scenes from... You get a very family feeling out of it. I like it. How much performance is a priority for KDE? It is a priority. Every time you make a change, it's very... I mean, not every time, but if you're making changes that could affect performance, there is some scrutiny to make sure that it doesn't impact it too much. Do you think KDE should drop Breeze, JTG, Breeze icons? I don't think so. I think it's worth... I mean, I'm biased because I'm the consistency goalkeeper, but I think it's worth it to try to preserve consistency between Breeze and JTG apps. By the way, your audio volume in the videos is still very low. I don't actually use KDE Live to edit anything. It's just obvious. We've got audio and you can see that audio is at a maximum. And in here, it's also at the maximum. So as I'm recording at the highest volume possible, I don't know. Maybe I'll try to get the microphone closer to my face. Do you plan to try XFC? Not really. I don't have any interest in XFC. I don't see the point of, for me, trying it out. I'm back. Sorry. Where was I? What causes the glitch in the chat window? I have no idea. Can you show a video edit project? What do you mean? Video edit project? The GPU is Intel integrated something and I don't do manual video editing. It is completely automatic. I just removed the silence from the videos. KDE will never become proprietary. That's for sure. Okay. Sorry. I missed this. If KDE becomes proprietary in the future, will it become better or worse and will it become famous? I think that if KDE becomes proprietary, it's going to die within a week because nobody will use it anymore. If you want to use a proprietary U.S., you're going to use Windows or Macintosh. And that's it. One of the cool things of KDE, thanks to which KDE is actually used by people, is the fact that it's open source. Doesn't make sense to make it proprietary. TechEd's new video shows Hazai Helinux with KDE Desktop. Yes, I've shown TechEd's video in the previous live. I watched it a few minutes ago. Let me see if somebody is writing me on Telegram. Jinguas is bad. They fired everyone. How do you remove silence from videos? Don't do it manually. There is this amazing tool which is called Auto Editor. You find it on GitHub and it works. It just works and also provides a lot of options that you can play with. Why the little third-party app made for KDE are often much more ugly than third-party developer GNOME apps? That's something that we are also wondering in KDE chats sometimes. Maybe it's because most of KDE apps are first-party. There's less of a concept of a third-party KDE app. If you see KDE something, you know it's first-party. If you see GNOME something, it might be a third-party or a first-party. So most of the apps in KDE are first-party. They are uglier. I mean, the newer ones with KDE are pretty. But before Curigami, KDE didn't quite make sure that the toolkit was only usable for pretty apps. I mean, yes, KDE Plasma would be totally forked if it went to closed source. That's for sure. I mean, even if KDE became proprietary, KDE would still live on because we would fork KDE. So no big issue there. Do you use Kmail? No, I use Gmail. If you are a new user and don't want to use a rolling release, I usually suggest Kubuntu. But Fedora is probably good as well. I mean, I've never used it. You should try out Fedora. No, I do think that for KDE is reasonable. I mean, it would be unpleasant, but reasonable. The EV can hire some developers to work on it full-time. I should try out Fedora. I know, I know. I'll eventually try out Fedora, I promise. I'm just, I have just no hurry. I like to do things in a calm way. The Fedora gang is now telling me how Fedora is, how awesome. I'm sure it is, like totally. Does using Windows app in Linux via WineMix any sense to you? Yes. I mean, if you need a Windows app, then use it if it's available. Sometimes you just need to run something that only works on Windows and you need it. You can just do that. Is any terrible to be Italian because of pronunciation of do you don't mind? Do you don't mind? What's wrong with, what's terrible about being Italian? I didn't understand. Sorry. Is my pronunciation that bad? I'm trying to improve. Do you know why Ubuntu choose GNOME? No, actually, I wasn't even using Linux back then. Smorthy is asking, did you see my questions? And Gensburg is probably no. Let me go back, Smorthy here. What do you think about the future of Linux? Of course, we all have heard really positive stuff from the others, like Linux is the future of gaming, Anthony, Linux touch tips. What do you want Linux to become? What I want Linux to become is a major player in the open source desktop world. Not an easy task at all. My biggest worry right now for the future of Linux, do you still see me correctly? I'm a bit low. My biggest worry is just about ARM computers, because the world is switching to ARM computers after Apple. And I'm not that sure that, I mean, installing Linux might become much harder. And that's, that may be an issue, I think. When Kiri will be ported to Qt6, it's being ported to Qt6 in a couple of years. We'll have Kiri Plasma 6, less than a couple of years, I think. Who knows, I mean, there's no, like, there's no deadline. What will happen to the kernel when Linux travel dies? Poor him. No, I hope he stays alive, surely. And hopefully, I think that even after such a thing, the development would go on because Linux became such a big part of everything, like phones, servers, that it would still be developed. KD would have made much more sense for Ubuntu because of ease of customization. Who knows, maybe they were not searching for ease of customization, maybe that was not well-interested then. You always need to think about what was their priority when looking for a desktop. You need to ask them, not me. Do you think that Valve is making enough meaningful contributions to KD that we could use outside of SteamOS? I think so. I don't know them by heart, but I do know they made some pretty big contributions. Yeah, I can tell you right now what exactly. Keep in mind that if SteamOS has some, like, custom applets or stuff like that, those applets can be used in any other distribution as well. It's not like they can be proprietary of SteamOS. A is like sending everything without him pretty much nothing is being accepted. Yes, but that's because you do have Linux. If we don't have Linux anymore, then another system would be found. The same point could be made for PopOS, which is putting huge effort to customize GNOME and write the entire DE from scratch, but they wouldn't like KDE. They don't want KDE. Not because they are some prejudice, but they want their own desktop. And I can understand them. And they are not looking for the things that KDE Plasma offers. Yeah, Roxas Freestyle Montages, please send me a screenshot or an icon. Send me an email about this, because it is what I worked on. So it might be actually not a bug. But if you send an email with screenshots, it's much easier to get back to you. As Ahi is shipping Plasma is a good thing, shows off Plasma on ARM. Sure, that is totally a good thing. I wonder how much effort will be put for each ARM device. If each ARM device requires the same effort that Ahi has put to M1 processors, then that's going to be an issue, because we are moving towards an ARM world. What do you think about the sweet KDE theme? It's very colorful. I wouldn't use it myself, because it's a bit too colorful for me. But it looks pretty. I like it. Do you find a use for maths in KDE coding? I find it useful in system management and troubleshooting. There is some math applications in coding. As an example, a lot of color management is done through matrix multiplication. So you need to know that as an example. And you get also a bit of coordinate systems. There is some math. You probably don't get calculus 3 stuff. But still, the first year of math is useful. KDE is working on system settings menu refactoring. We know the release date. It is working. We are working on system settings refactoring. We don't have a deadline. Whenever it's really, it's really. For a foronix is usually trustworthy. Foronix is so bad. In most KDE chats, we hate foronix. Because there's so much like, especially the comment section. It's so toxic. Why Dolphin does not show the thumbnails of MP4 and MKV files with embedded covers? Well, I don't know, but you can open up a bug request. No, sorry, I don't work with Dolphin. So no clue. KDE on ARM is a thing. Yeah, I've got an ARM computer right here. And yeah, it is. Do you think KDE was a good choice for the Steam Deck? Yes, I think so. I think it fits SteamOS really nicely. It fits what a gamer wants from a computer. So I'm totally for it. I yet use calculus 2 to fix a crash condition in webapp. Good hold, the lopita. It's actually calculus 1 for us, the lopita. But yeah, ticking derivative. Just remember that when you're using the lopita, if your end result is undefined, then it doesn't mean that the original condition is also undefined. It just means that the method doesn't have a conclusion. So yeah, I am just reciting what I remember of the conditions of the lopital theorem. Genoa or Samp? I don't actually follow football, sorry, you tried. Is there a KDE discord? There is a KDE telegram, the VDG and stuff like that. You can search for KDE telegram and there's lots of links. If you do cyber security, you probably know enough of coding to contribute to KDE. I'm pretty sure of that. You just need to decide how. Installing Plasma on the Raspberry Pi, you probably can do that. But I remember searching about that, I'm not sure. You need to check out a bit what the internet says. Can KDE window decorations be created using Bitmap or GIMP or will KDE only understand SVGs? You can use Bitmap somehow. Like as an example, you can just embed a Bitmap inside of an SVG and that should work. Probably there's another way, but I never did decorations. I know a QML maybe using a QML image tag. Try these couple of things, embedding the image inside of an SVG and using a QML image tag. Please stop spamming. I saw your question, I saw your question, stop spamming. Joseph, Joseph, stop, you're naughty, naughty. Do you really want to be banned like this? I saw your question, I just didn't want to answer it. Because I don't know, I'm not an expert on scaling. How would I know if Chrome and Firefox are broken? Let me answer or something else. I think buttons in KDE are a bit too skeomorphic while KDE apps have a flat design. Buttons should be consistent everywhere. If you notice any significant inconsistency, we're probably working on fixing it. There's a lot of effort right now in making sure that Breeze looks like Breeze anywhere. Is there a YouTube channel like you from Magnop Developer? I know of one. There's at least one developer who streams his live coding sessions on his channel. Right now I don't remember the name, but you should be able to find it if you Google. Will KWinFT ever become a standard KDE compositor? No, we have KWin. KWinFT is not a KDE project. What is the best resource to learn QML? The best resource to learn QML is actually using QML and reading the documentation, in my opinion. You also get a handbook somewhere. There is a QML handbook somewhere. If you don't find the link, email me and I'll send you the link. Is KDE developer your job? How did you start? Okay, wait, wait, wait. Nobody currently is paid to be a KDE developer. It's not a job. It's something that most of us do either in our free time or whilst being paid by third-party companies. Right now, nobody's paid by KDE to work on KDE software. So I'm doing this in my free time. And my channel is the reason why I can do this. So I've got a Patreon and a PayPal. So if you want me to continue contributing to KDE, the best way to make sure of that is through helping me out on Patreon or PayPal. So it's PayPal.com, PayPal.me, Nikolov and Patreon.com, Nikolov. And you can also do a donation within the YouTube system. They all get through me. So if you want me to continue working on this, donations are the main thing that keeps me around. Otherwise, I would have to find another part-time job. Where am I? Where am I? I totally need moderators. And I'd be super happy to make you a moderator, honestly. I just don't know how. I've never done this. Okay, let's try to, I don't know, studio YouTube. And then let's go to the live. There's probably some button somewhere that makes you a moderator, right? Like this. This is the live stream. Like this. Where are you? Moderator. You are now a moderator, I think. Thank you for the donation. Let's go on with the questions. Thank you, Robert. Do you want to try a live coding live stream? Personally, I don't want to do live coding live streams because they are so boring. Like this is not exciting already. If I start coding, it's going to get super boring. I'm telling you. So I prefer to do some content that more people will actually want to watch. I sent you an email. Thank you. I might check out if I received it. And I didn't receive it yet, but I guess I will soon. Thank you for the appreciations. Why do you have so much time for YouTube while studying? Kind of. I actually have a very strict study method. Let me... Time management method. Let me show you some more here. This is my phone. It's upside down. And this is my time management app. And if we go to the calendar, you can see that I actually record everything I do. And I record how much I do of everything. Usually, KD goes like three to four hours every week. I'm trying to do more. Linux channel is two to three hours every week. Every week, of course, is different. And I try to make the best out of the time I have. Which is why I'm not doing many live streams anymore. I simply don't have much time to do them, because live streams require a lot of time. They don't pay much. So thank you for the donations you're doing, because I don't receive much money otherwise. And videos are a bit better. So now the Linux dude, Dominico Hias, now has this moderator button. Nice. Yeah, I also hope that Whelan becomes more stable in the future. Good KD workflow videos? Well, I don't know. I don't know of any. If you have a specific idea, try sending me an email with it. Am I, you know, try to give it a shot? A way to add custom build flags to KD servers build. I'm not aware of any, but if you build something, it's really easy to rebuild it. Like if it really fetched the source, so it's kind of easy to actually build it after you've built it the first time with condensers build manually. Okay. Mod is click the dots on the name in chat. Yes, but for some reason it doesn't work from here, sadly, but now I made a moderator. I'm happy that your friends are inspired by KD Plasma. Promote KD Plasma to all of your friends. What app for time management is it? It's called a focus timer focus matter, focus matter, I think, on Placer. Contact is kind of being replaced. There are Kregami alternatives being built slowly. It will take time. Yeah, K organizer being replaced with calendar is an example. Camille, there is some work in trying to do a new Kregami email client. It's just that the developer that was working a lot of these things was hired by Next Cloud and, I mean, fair enough, it doesn't have as much time as before. Sadly, that's what happens when we don't hire developers first. I wonder if there are other KD devs on YouTube? A couple of. There is for sure, Clow, Clow somewhere. Should be Clow, I forgot the name. Clows, Clow calendar. As well as something. Okay, it is surely somewhere. It does live streams, but right now I don't remember the channel. Next time I'll have the link for you. Third time living in Italy, do you like it? Or are you thinking about moving? No, I do like Italy, though I asked for an Erasmus in Sweden. I also like Sweden. But I mean, Italy, food, pizza. Yeah. Yes, I will try vanilla gnome fortitude. Don't worry. I've tried to move on Wayland on Plasma, but it still feels and polished. The only reason was wedroid, but time will tell. Yeah, there's a lot of work being put in Wayland, and I think that, I mean, within, for me, it's really, which is surprising, given that a couple of versions ago, I was like, no Wayland, I'm not using Wayland. Now I am using Wayland, and I've got no issues. So we are moving there. Almost there. Clow the camera. Thank you. And Cambermet, you are both right. I mean, you're the same person. You're right two times. Clow the camera. You've got his channel here. There's, as you can see, some videos. And there's also videos from Cambermet, which you can find here. Lots of, this one is about the world papers of Katie. And also web development, right? There is also some other developer trying to doing live stream, but as far as I know, these two are the most active ones. Yeah, actually, all Katie developers are very active in the community of Katie users. If you go as an example and read it, you will find many developers there. You can always ask us stuff. Katie is for people who love Windows UI. GNOME is for people who love modern UI. You're this close to being banned by the moderator, I guess. No, I mean, it's not like that. I do think that Katie is moving towards a very modern UI. I do think that GNOME has a modern UI to be clear. I don't think that Katie is for people who love Windows at all because there are people who might love Windows and not like Katie, but also maybe like Katie and not Windows. It's our own design at the end. The most annoying issue in Plasma Willand is the color picker. Okay, yeah, the color picker app, I'm guessing. Makes sense. Probably some Willand Schellingen. Probably reported already, but check out if there's the bug report. If not, make it just for sure. I think it's there, but still. I should have received the email. Yes. Yep. Hello, Luca. Let's see the screenshots. My internet is very slow, thank you. I mean, as soon as it works, I'll get back to you. Windows 11, yeah, I also don't agree fully with the design changes they've done. I kind of preferred it before. Thanks, Rellingsen, for the donation. It's very much appreciated, especially because, I mean, if I'm able to do this, it's thanks to the donations because this is at the end my free time. And every time I receive like a job offer, a part-time job offer, like teaching to students, I'm like, no, thanks to the donations. I have time to work on Katie. Katie reassembles features of Windows while GNOME is a simpler modern UI. Let's try to bring something constructive out of it. Katie does resemble Windows more compared to GNOME, that's for sure. Compared to all of the desktops in Linux, Katie is not the most similar to Windows. It's the one that can get most similar to Windows. If you want, but GNOME is surely one of the first furthers design compared to it. I think that the point is that both Katie Plasma and GNOME have their own thing, their own design and their own idea of what a desktop should be. Neither is more modern. Because you can see that the workflow of GNOME is a newer idea that is a came later, but it's not necessarily a better one. And you can always reproduce the GNOME workflow in Katie Plasma as well, obviously. Hello. Would it be cool to see channel statistics on how old the people are? Why not? I do have statistics, I love statistics, so let's show statistics. So statistics, it's your age. This is my age graph. As you can see, it's very mostly young people. And also this one is interesting. We do have an issue, like about female woman engagement in Linux in general. Because, I mean, what's this? Thanks, Robert, again. Do you know, are you fixing the different size panel bug I talked about when switching from Wayland? Okay, so the scaling one, right? Let me bring it up. The issue is that I'm totally not the right person to ask about these kind of things. 32 panel size when using 200% scaling. I really don't know, that's the issue. Check out if there is a bug report. If you find it, send me an email with the link so I can check it out. If you don't find it, please make one and send me the link anyway. The issue is that I'm really, as you could see from before me trying to explain what Wayland is, I'm really not an expert in Wayland. But I mean, I can give it a shot. We want to see the general statistics. I did that. 3.6% is a lot. Oh, is it? Honestly, it seems pretty low, considering that 50% is the goal here. I've also heard of a lot of dual screen issues in KDE, but I never had a dual screen. So I never could test those kind of bugs, sadly. Can I say something in Italian? Vabbene, vabbene, qualcosa in italiano. Non sono in Sicilia. Adesso mi viene il dubbio. A me una volta dovrò essere siccistata, però for se giusto una volta quando ero piccolo. Sono stato in Puglia, un sacco di volte. Sono stato in Piemonte, Lombardia, qua su vicino. Sicilia adesso non mi viene in me, però voglio andarci con la mia ragazza. Let's get back to English, though. I'm studying in Bavaria and we are 40% females, women. And everyone is forced to use Linux. Let's force people to use Linux. I mean, in universities, if you study IT, you should be using Linux. I mean, at least to get the general idea of it. What was the reason behind removing the 3D cube effect? So there is a measure overall in... There has been a measure overall in K-Win effects. A lot of them were removed because they had very, very odd code that was just painful to deal with. Of the three removed effects, the three important ones, two has already been rewritten with a new QML code way, which is super cool because it really means that one developer went there and just did the whole effects from scratch in a different programming language in just like a month, which is awesome. But people haven't found yet the time to actually do that for the desktop cube. Maybe in the future, but honestly, if you like the person who rewrote the flip cover and the cover switch once receives negativity in a way that probably was the wrong way if you wanted the same developer to then also implement the desktop cube. Breeze Dark or Light? Light, why? I prefer shadows. Like the issue with Breeze Dark is that you don't see shadows much. Dark on dark, right? And I think that shadows are a super important element of design. So whenever I can, I always use a light theme because it makes it easier to make a good design, in my opinion. Feel free to disagree, obviously. For text editors, personally, I prefer the blue one, the blue one. Come on, I know the name. I always use it, the blue one. Solarize Dark, Solarize Dark. If you think that you will get banned if you publish a link, don't publish it. That should go without saying. Hearing you speak Italian is now on my top five whatever moments ever. I don't know why it's so strange. And you haven't heard me speak Italian poetry. You should totally check out my Italian poetry. If you go to TikTok, or let me show you actually. I am on Instagram, under the name of maybe Vegero on Instagram. And on TikTok, under the name of Nicholas Poetry. Here, yes, allow, allow. And there is just videos of me reciting poetry. And the same ones on TikTok, even though login page. Yeah, sadly, YouTube removes a lot of things by default that we are not even allowed to add an exception for. If you can just like upload to Imgur and then just publish the code of Imgur, something like that, post-image, I don't know. Any info on future Will and Bug patches, it's a bit vague. Again, I'm not a Will and Developer. So you should ask a Will and Developer, but also you should be slightly more specific. Nikolov is a cool name. Fun fact, I only got this Nikolov. Nikolov is Nikolov, which is my name, and then VE, which is the first two letters of my surname. And I only got this nickname because of Fabrikator, which is Katie before GitLab. So if I'm called Nikolov, it's thanks to Katie. What is the best pizza type and why is it the Mediterranean? Are there any other pizza types? What do you mean? There's pizza. It's not like you have pizza types. I mean, you can have different ingredients on the pizza, and there's no such thing as the Mediterranean ingredients over a pizza, but there's just the pizza. There's not like the American pizza, that's not pizza. Katie changed my name. When will the redesigned version of discover up a store landing Katie Plasma? So there are some merge requests. I think I don't remember if they have landed yet. Probably they will land within two months, which means that they should be in Plasma 5.25, which releases in June. And everything that's missing from that will probably be implemented later on and be in Plasma 5.26, which is four months later after June. Ah, the New York style pizza. No, no, that's not pizza. You can call it pizza, but it's not pizza. The mozzarella is under the sauce. No, no. Well, nah. When I saw that video, I was like, no, that's not pizza. You can call it pizza, but it's not pizza. I think that the overview has blur, even though your compositor is extender, because it uses the quick blur from QML, which also works regardless of the compositor, as far as I know. That's probably the cause. Is calzone pizza then? Oh, wow. That's a good question. Welcome to Ask KD Developer Anything. We're going to talk about calzone. No, it's not pizza. Like, we can't call it pizza. That would be unfair to pizza. It's a calzone, you know, it's its own thing. Thank you for that new effect that shows all the desktops and allows us to move apps between desktops. The overview effect. By the way, fun fact. The overview effect was implemented by a developer that was from Ukraine and who, like, disappeared rightfully in the last months and only in the latest few days got back to KD development. So keep in mind that these kind of political things do have an impact on KD. We've got developers in war countries. That does impact KD development. Chicago-style pizza, though. Is the Chicago-style the weird one? Wait. It's the one that has, like, no... Yeah. Where do you see pizza? I don't see pizza. Pizza is another thing. You can call it pizza, but it's not pizza. That's it. Has this poetry-style a name? A name? No, it doesn't have quite a name. It's very... It has a lot of alliterations, a lot of rhymes. It's inspired by rap. It doesn't quite have a name. Check out the sound makeup in the visual design group. Why was it removed? Let's check. Should be able to check this out. Am I an administrator? Yes. No, there is no... No message has been removed from the VDG. Is the Python programming language of any use for KD development? If yes, then which parts of KD development use Python? Python is my favorite programming language. It is used somewhere. I had to use Python sometimes. It's very rare because no application is actually done only using Python, but it's useful to have some scripts. As an example, the wallpaper is... When you have a new wallpaper, you can't just say, okay, KD, use this new wallpaper and magic. You actually have to change something like seven files to all of the new wallpapers and generate the previews that's done through a script and the script is Python. So it's usually used for scripting. Do you follow Italian freestyle a bit? The thing about freestyle is that freestyle is usually about people... There's a lot of this concept that freestyle is people improvising or doing some flows that are not as sophisticated as if it was like a rap song. And I don't know. There's not much to be inspired from compared to listening to actually albums. And you do see that albums are very thought... behind the scenes. What would be the process of making an app and getting it to be part of the official KD family? So you can search for KD incubator and you can read the instructions here. Generally speaking, if you want an application to be part of KDE and it uses our technologies like origami and stuff like that, nobody is going to say no as long as it's active, maintained in theory from at least a couple of people. Curigami, yes, curigami. KD is mostly C++ and the QML. Mostly C++ and QML. Looking over the screenshots that I've received by email, it looks correct. I think it's intended. The icon sizes in the panel. I might reply to the email later, but... Do you program crash recovery? What's that? Is it a programming language? What's your mail? Nicola at venerandi.com If the panel breaks, then you open a bugger report obviously and you restart Plasma either through the terminal by typing plasmashall-replace or you reboot I guess. Most people don't know that it's possible to seamlessly convert Python code into C with Seaton with 20x performance boost. That's not quite how it works, but okay. There are some experiments that I followed to try to do static compilers from Python to C. It's never quite the same as doing native C code and sometimes just managing the compiler is the transpiler, I guess, is more complex than just writing the program. In which KD Plasma release will the redesign bridge icons land? Some in 5.25, some in 5.26, they will land into separate versions. Hopefully. This is hopefully. No, no, the code that is automatically generated from Python is absolutely not readable. You're not supposed to read it at all. You just read the Python source code and then you mess a lot with the typing system, but you know. I want to save my KD Plasma theme, so I can retain it every time I should reinstall a new Linux Plasma. You should check out Plasma Config Saver. If you go through my channel, I have done a video about Plasma Config Saver, explain what it is and how it works, so you can just check that one out. You can also pick up your .config folder, that's true. But I mean, if you want a UI, you can use Plasma Config Saver. It basically does that. I didn't know about the .config though. Is Lattedock a KD project? Yes, it is. Lattedock is part of the KD. You know what? It's almost time to launch, so I think I'm just going to end it here. I don't see many new questions. So what do you think about the new JK4 Advaita? Yeah, you replied to this before. It hasn't quite touched me, so I don't know, I haven't investigated about this. Is there a complete replacement for K-User in Qt5? Oh, that's another specific question that I don't know about. Try asking that in the KD development chat. Is there a way to disable whole history? Not from a centralized place. You can disable like a runner history, which also affects kickoff and the search widget. Those kind of things. Anyway, as I was saying, let me go eat. Thank you everybody for joining in. Thanks for the donations. I'm super happy about this, and hopefully I'll be able to do this more often from now on. See you on Monday with a new video, which Secret is going to be. GwentView versus Gotham. Gotham.
