 Hello, and if I did everything correctly, and I think by now I should have learned This live stream is now, you know live and you should be seeing me and just to check that Let me see my live stream page to actually check that it is working and that it has started and it has so Welcoming everybody as you know, we've just announced the Scotch as I'd like to pronounce it and it's a pretty big release and If you have missed the video, let me just pop it up quickly And then we can actually get to the live stream when you can really ask me anything and we can just Talk about whatever you want as usual my live stream are very informal So let's just give a look to the to my own video a second Actually, let me fix the audio because otherwise you won't hear anything Okay, so technically speaking Shouldn't be talking about this because I mean, you know, we are working on like KDE frameworks and this one is a feature that's in KDE Plasma 6 and Built it like I work. I mean me leaking out features is almost believable I guess on this for you for years for it to be on KDE Plasma 6, but recent me working on something for years Is not believable at all. Actually, I was actually able to backport it to KDE Plasma 5 and I'm just so excited I mean technically speaking. Yeah, I shouldn't be talking about this, but whatever Let me show you what it is Okay, so this feature this feature is what I call this coach which is written as K-N-O-T-C-H and It's an applet. So we can actually just go into right click add widgets and add it and as I said Can this one and we can just add it to whatever panel on whatever computer and It will just fit whatever panel you put it to and just like this. I mean, but anyway if you want I Can actually show you how I implemented this coach really code-wise because it's like 10 lines of code So it's really simple To fully understand what this does that's actually because I actually implemented. It's not a mock-up or I Actually implemented it. You can download it and use it Please center it So let's add a couple of spacers like this and like this and now it should be clear It's this coach and of course, I mean this is carry So this is like the most Customizable things ever you can just go into right click configure this coach I had so much fun in writing the settings because I put like three serious settings and I was like, okay Three is not enough to drive the point home. Let's just keep adding them and just you know Whatever like whatever I thought about the notchness of the notch and you've got basically everything you might need So if you want it smaller than I mean, whatever fits you smaller is fine, too But also bigger. I mean it really depends on what feels right to your device because I mean What's the point of this this makes you whatever device you're using feel Just so much more expensive like just look at this Just by doing this like this whole video was totally improvised and I had no idea what's other what to say because I mean It's uh, I mean what do you want to say about it? So I just kept talking about whatever increase the value of this product Which is the Adele in this case by 300 years at least and I mean isn't that amazing And of course, it's not just customizable in its size and appearance I mean we can use whatever like touch to resize it It wasn't working. Yeah, I got scared actually to move it and this is to resize it as you can see And I mean what else we can add more than one because I mean if one is such a big change Then let's go with two so this coach. Let's add another one And of course each one is independent Which means that each one you can choose how to you can see people like walking by in the background And what you don't see is that they were stirring at me and they were like What are you doing exactly because I had like the computer the microphone the camera the Camera stand and that was weird Look and they are they are all different. So just like this really I mean if this is not amazing, I don't know what is so the scotch if you were looking for Forward to kedi plasma six now, you know what the biggest feature is and if you want to try this out Well, you can find it now on the kedi store and by the way, I actually haven't uploaded it yet to the kedi store because I'm lazy But I published the code so you can download that one and Try it. I don't want to put out too much But I've also sent this another developer and he's doing some Very state you know interesting stuff with it and you'll see later. So stay tuned Of course, this also works if you like move the panel now. You've got the sideways scotch, which is I mean So, yeah, probably you should now go check out kedi official accounts and Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is it Does it work on set panels too? Of course it works on set panels. Do you think I forgot about that? Of course it works Sure Fun fact gnom does actually have this feature through a third party extension and They do have it already. So sadly this is Not the plasma I mean Technically speaking like apple devices also have a notch. So they also have it and android like the samsung Tab s8 ultra does have notch. So it's not just plasma. Like everybody has it at this point and Let me Fetch my live stream my own live stream back Nice So this is the scotch if you have questions about the scotch I can answer them if you want. I can show you the code if you have questions about anything in kedi plasma I'm here to answer them currently. So Okay colors I did not expect to watch you live then youtube recommendation for that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Now you're watching me live. That's good. So as far as colors go I thought about it because it's actually really easy to change its color However, in order to add such an option, I would have to add To the configuration UI a color picker And I was way too lazy to actually add a color picker because I'd never Used color pickers in config UIs before so I didn't I couldn't like copy paste the code from an older applet and Again, I was lazy, but it's totally feasible and it's Probably super easy to implement. So It's probably coming soon Does it save battery? Does it save battery? I mean If you're using an AMOLED display technically speaking This scotch does turn off some of the pixels in your screen. So it does save battery to some extent I guess Why do people still use windows when it still doesn't have such an important feature like this? Totally Like I mean, I guess you could like take a black Marker and try to draw it on the screen manually. That could be a workaround, but let's face it. It's not the same thing Adding some green pixels for lead indicator is actually a pretty interesting idea And it should be again super easy to implement if you want to give it a try It's like four lines of code and it's not like even C++ it's qml, which is declarative and it's really easy to get into and Did you like plot in us? I haven't still tried it, but I actually plan to try it out just after this live stream I have a to-do list for the videos for next week and plot in us is in it You've been watching my videos for the last couple of hours. Thank you It's all watch time. So I hope you like them I'm really putting out a lot of effort to Duck duck tape That could work. I mean you would probably have to cut the duck tape. So it's actually around it and then paint it black. I mean Could work. I think the scotch is pretty sure though Do you like plasma six? Totally totally. I totally love plasma six And it's so hard to keep it a secret because nobody has to know that we already have plasma six and So I just can't talk about it, but I use plasma six every day and it's lovely What's the future of floating panel in plasma? So hopefully they will be in the next version which releases in june Hopefully I am working on them actively. I have finished the panel rewrite And I'm now focused on Finishing up the implementation for floating panels They Like I took back my old code and it was way messier than a third So I had to rewrite it a bit, but now it should be kind of working So some finishing touches and it should be ready by june hopefully If I screw up then it's uh four more months of waiting What's your your extension showing 5.4 w? Yes, it's the power consumption In this case I'm charging so it's actually the opposite. It's how much I'm charging the computer by But when I'm on battery, it actually shows how much power I'm using which is pretty useful Cut the screen What do you mean with cut the screen? Sorry After installing this extension my laptop upgraded to an Intel Core i7 and 16 gigabytes of RAM Yes, that's a side effect. It's actually a bug. It shouldn't happen, but I mean You seem to like it. So whatever if Usually people prefer high five to an i7 But if it accidentally switches to an i7, I guess it's fine We'll fix it later anyway I'm happy you like them. I'm happy you liked my videos When is kd switching from qt to jtk4? probably Next first of april, I guess It was actually an idea that we thought about doing instead of k-nome of k-nome And it was like back then the ideas were either we do a desktop together and call it k-nome or kd switches to jtk and gnomes switches to qt We went for k-nome. I think we did a nice nice choice Gnocchi, yeah Cut the screen to make a notch. Yes, that's another possibility I wonder I wonder if the screen survives It like I can take like, I don't know a cutter and go there. I mean could work You can try it. Send me a screenshot if it works I think they're planning to switching to electron instead of jtk. No, no We are actually switching to paper and pen. So basically instead of having a screen we're just Every time you click on something kd headquarters print The resulting page As a screenshot a black and white screenshot and then we email it to you via mail service it takes about a week to chew to actually deliver the results butter Sure butter We can consider it By the way, let me do a little Now that I've seen I see people joining in a quick self advertisement, which is this one Everything I do is actually in my free time and if I do have this free time It's thanks to the people who donate to me because otherwise I would have to get a part-time job And if I get a part-time job then no free time. No videos. No kd stuff So if you want my videos to keep going I'm gonna ask you if you can to donate a bit you can do it through patreon people or the youtube built anything You know, if you if you have the possibility and just Let's get back to the comments What language do you use mainly italian, but I also use a lot of python I love python For developing kde sadly There is like no python at all just a little bit of scripts and it's mostly qml and C++ qml relies on javascript. So you also need to kind of know javascript I would totally suggest if you want to contribute to kde to read something about qml because it's really really Easy to learn it and it's super cool. It's like html css, but better in my opinion and It's good stuff. It's really good stuff kde is the best desktop. I mean gnome is pretty good too And actually actually let me point out something kde is not a desktop. It's not a desktop environment The desktop environment is called plasma You know, it's like the new linux thingy the desktop is actually called plasma kde is the community Of people behind it Yeah, it's beautiful The scotch is beautiful So so so what what do you want to do you need to know italian to contribute to kde? No, no, that's just me You can just use anglish. You do need to know anglish a bit. I think italian is just me The cool desktop environment. Yeah, that was the original What kde stood for originally, but now it's like community of developers environment, I don't know Plasma is the shell Not quite because technically speaking kwin, which is the window manager is also part of Plasma. Plasma desktop is a shell. There's also plasma mobile. There's plasma nano Plasma is the desktop What will happen if we remove qt from arc-based kde distributions? That nothing will work I mean, what do you mean kde uses qt to work? So if you remove qt, then kde won't work. So no kde No qt no kde By the way, instead of qml What do you think about slint ui? 60 fps it's like next gen qml. Okay, so you got interest you got me interested. Let's actually google it Slint the fast and easy ui toolkit Is it actually fast and easy though? I don't want a demo. I want a code example. Where is the code example? To do a demo I don't want to see the app. I want to see the code. Where is it? Edit the online code editor. What does it look like to do? Okay What uh, okay, so it is similar to qml. That's for sure What language is this though? Style ugly What's the language? It's like some c++ modified c++ There's a struct. We've got call back We've got pixels. That's nice minimum That's interesting stop though I need to check this out We do have views Okay, so it's really similar and it seems interesting. So I'll totally check it out When I have more time seriously kwin is not part of plasma Now I'm pretty sure kwin is part of plasma if you go to um Kd invent You can see that the kwin project Is part of plasma like look at here. It's right here I've switched back to kd plasma Not daily. I still use gnome daily and I want to try out elementary as soon But for development as an example to actually implement this coach I do boot into kd plasma When will there be a remake of kd4? Well, you've got trinity. I gotta check out trinity sooner or later. I never tried it say I use arc by the way Come on. What do you want to know about kd plasma? There's not enough questions Let me actually pop up quickly the code of the of this coach You can see that it is right here and the main qml file is just this So it's like What is it 58 lines? And it's pretty easy So I've got four lines Which are of allians and just check What side of the screen this coach is in? three variables to actually read from the configuration The width the radius and the notch margin Of course, the radius can't be as big as I want If it's bigger than the scotch itself, I need to turn it down Then I just set the width to the notch width Then I say that this applet should feel all of the space that is available to actually touch the screen edge And then I have a simple rectangle two rectangles Both that do have some margins if necessary And one is rounded one is not and the one that's not rounded, which is this one That's actually is actually smaller because I add more margin Which is the radius so you don't see the top Rounded corners. You just see the bottom ones It's pretty easy to implement. Thank you. Zalfos Thank you. Will you publish it to the kd store? Yes, and As soon as I stop being lazy, I will totally do that And Yeah, I mean everything is ready. It should be super simple to do that Qt does support web assembly. Yeah, that's true. I haven't like tried it but I've seen it Should I install plasma on gnome or go kd? I guess the question is plasma or or gnome Rather than on I mean you can use plasma on gnome, but it probably shouldn't and What should it depends on what you need if you want something that's fully customizable fully With a lot of features that of course come with a bit of instability Go with kd plasma if you want something that is simpler, but Super Finished and polished as a product then gnome is probably what you seek for How much would kd plasma cost that's a question that I actually asked my twitter Followers I asked them how much would they pay for kd plasma Let's see if I can get back today that tweet And the interesting thing is that I asked how much they would pay for kd plasma And then I also here it is. I also asked how much they donated to plasma And whereas most of them would pay between 5 to 15 euros To actually get kd plasma Most of them the vast majority Has not donated anything to kd plasma, which is sad understandable, of course But if you want to donate to kd plasma I think this is a good way to change that You love the naming of the scotch about using debating endlessly about how it's pronounced. Yeah, it's called scotch It's pronounced scotch There's no debate I decided it How do I compile a web assembly build? Okay, so there's some documentation. I've seen that you can google it And I think you'll find it Kwin is considerably older than plasma. Yeah, you can theoretically use kwin with other shells and you can use different WMs with plasma So really kwin is a super component. Okay, this discussion is Going much further than I wanted to If you want to some To be really precise with the terms you probably should ask some longer developer, I guess or if you are one then you Know better than me. I guess Yeah, if you love Rising racing rising your desktop kd plasma is totally the way to go What got you into doing linux development? Whether that be kd or other projects? and So I got into linux because I accidentally Destroyed my windows installation when I was like 10 years old And so my parents actually installed linux on my machine when I was 10 because I Destroyed the windows by accident. It was actually an accident um Later on I switched to windows back and then I switched back to linux because I was curious and um I liked it I switched between desktops and then I totally fell in love with kd because I found that it was a desktop that was totally Could be whatever I wanted and I love customizing stuff. So Within all of the projects in the linux world kd was the one I liked like the most and I started joining like the development chats because I really like the projects and a project And I wanted to see what was coming what they were working on and eventually I started trying to actually implement some features fix some small bugs I started pretty small, but eventually it's really easy to get into development Will you be reacting to iq or s? Why not? I don't need to plasma even if I use gnome. Thank you Based parents Actually, both of my parents use makintosh But when I destroyed my windows, they were like, uh, whatever. Let's put linux into it Do you have any advices to start start learning kml? Yep, there is a qml hand book a cook book something book somewhere if you Try googling for the qml hand book the cook book I don't remember the exact name if you don't find it just send me an email You can find my email in any video description and I'll just provide a link for you Yeah, linux is pretty good. I like linux Though it's something that I ask you how much Should kedi plasma cost how much would you pay for kedi plasma? like How much I don't know how much I would pay if it's just one time if it's just one time K plasma is really good But I think it depends on the competition because if it's too much and I don't know gnome is free for example Then I don't know how much I would pay but it's such a cool project at the same time. So I would like totally say something No more computers. Yeah That could have happened. Thankfully my parents are Very good parents 69 euros nice number That's a lot But I mean It's kedi plasma. So it's worth it Have you donated 69 euros to kedi plasma? Just kidding do whatever you want Now I've got all of the people commenting like the scotch tweet I know plasma by kedi community is cool and and those large monitor very well, but what about multiple monitors? Any inputs for me? No, no multiple monitors is something I'm really bad at Let's see if I have any twitter. Yeah, I've got nine twitter reddit. Sorry meant reddit messages Just by doing this increase the value of this product by 300 euros at least so far. That's the best line ever today. Thank you. Thank you That was improvised actually. So pretty good here Cool to see plasma getting the jump on gnome with this feature I'll beat as a back ported plasmoid and to be honest looking a bit a little junky I actually did this in two hours less than that probably so It's a real junk. It's really junk gnome 44.20 will include a gnome notch in the top panel by default You'll have to wait for someone to make an extension to configure it It will be implemented in all libatoeta had their bars showed to you at worst That's pretty funny I'm ashamed how long it took me almost two and a half minutes in Christmas came early Yeah, this is the eye notch That's also pretty good name though the eye notch. I like it. It's for gnome as well Mind-blowing. Yes, certainly mind-blowing Where is the How many up boosts does this post have 21 nice 69 euros and 69 cents. Okay. It's not a lot. Okay It's 69 euros As a student for me. It's a lot If I pay something 16 and euros then I need to think a lot about it because it's a lot of money Feel free to donate some money to me to change my mind You can just donate and pretend it's payment. Yeah, that's totally true People would pay for plasma based distro not just plasma alone. That's also true And then we should talk about how much money should go to the distro and how much money should go to kedi That's a an interesting debate to have And think of thinking of moving to linux, but I'm not sure if my accessories will work Like I use the xbox adaptive controller as mouse You can try it out before switching to linux So you just have to if you do a linux usb to as if you were installing linux You can first of all just try linux on the usb on your computer by booting from the usb And it will be linux in a test environment So it will mostly behave as if it was installed on your computer without actually being installed So you can just try out everything first that everything works Also, what I suggest doing if you're scared and I think everybody is switching to linux for the first time might be a little scared You can dual boot and have both windows and linux at the same time on your computer And whenever you turn on the computer you choose which one to use So you can just be sure that nothing bad happens as my god As an example, sorry my girlfriend does dual boot windows because Her printer doesn't work the printer only works on windows So she she just uses linux 99 of the time and remaining time is on windows to actually print stuff The gnome notch. Yeah. Yeah It should come to the title bars of the application that that's actually Probably easy to implement, but I'm not going to if you want feel free Is this coach a serious project to support the m1 macbooks? Or just a joke? No, it's totally serious and it's not just about the m1 macbooks It's any computer like as you can see right now up here. I do have this coach And that's because it looks so good like I mean From purely an appearance point of view, it just looks good Kenny should get setups so we could donate to it as a charity when we buy amazon stuff It's only set up in germany I think we set up because Kenny is a german company So that's why it's only in germany. I think it was a setup Everywhere we could I think Yeah, I love it when grab locks me out of my BIOS same For dual boot disabled secure boot. Yeah, totally disabled secure boot always Some games won't work if you have secure boot disabled That's such a nasty behavior from them You do have to disable secure boot to use linux Ah annoying Consider that you can increase the value of a product by 500 euros just by printing a mid-related Upply apple on it. So just imagine what the scotch could do totally totally And av is not a company though Uh, okay, I'm not good with lower lower terms Uh, it's an organization organization We need more young and energetic fast depths and user donation So as far as young and energetic, there's actually a lot in kedi. I was super surprised about this We had like at least four people when I joined kedi. There were at least four developers Who were andridge like I was I was 17 there was like 14 and then 16 And so on and that's impressive honestly because with so many people that young I mean I wasn't An incredibly good developer But I was able to help out a bit in kedi and the other Androids developers were like super good and did giant refactorings in a couple of days So I was like super impressed by them Open suze fedora open suze You said open suze two times. I guess I guess you meant ubuntu. I think ubuntu has a signed bootloader Yeah, that's true I am angry. I am indeed angry. Uh, what time is it? Huh late Uh, I don't know what I'm eating There's some leftover pizza. I think I mean I'm Italian. There's always some leftover pizza How would one start with contributing to kedi and other open source applications? So I've done it depends on the project in kedi I've done videos talking about this what I suggest to do is join The kedi development to vdg and the promo chat rooms and get an idea of how things work You can start small Looking over back request and seeing if there's anything you can do even if it's super small like changing strings I actually started by changing some strings and that was it. So that's what I generally suggest Let me see some funny comments in on my youtube account. I'm in Russia receiving lots of Comments and I want to read them Sorry, but what does it do? It um, it makes a Scotch I was expecting to see one-to-one gestures fun fact One-to-one gestures are coming way sooner than plasma six That should make him happy As always resource usage and consumption is where the battle is most intense If six comes with even better resource management and is very fluid then it is welcome The accolades, I think you missed the point I wasn't actually talking about plasma six Innovation at its peak Better than making touch because of its customization. Yeah, you cannot customize the iphone's notch You can customize this coach Will be a dark theme the full team future version of plasma? No, I think we'll stay with the live theme, but I mean I can't know but I think we'll stay with the live team. You can always switch to breeze dark Why is breeze dark so pretty compared to breeze person? Sorry, personally, I prefer breeze But it's up to you personally I prefer breeze I spent a lot of time trying to improve both, but I personally prefer breeze Maybe unsigned Once I'm done learning the horrible JavaScript don't Way too You'll never be done learning the horrible JavaScript because it's horrible and there's always something to learn Try soon and learn among the developers. That's I didn't know any come out when I started when I joined caddy as an example, but Later I just learned it. So Now I totally don't like JavaScript to be honest, but The only thing I don't like about breeze is the selected blue, which is the bright and mixed thing hard treat on my bed screen Yeah, now that you have accent colors. It's super easy super easy to get rid of it. So nice What is the difference of the blackness options by the way? The least black is 255 Sorry, that was it 000 Whereas the purest black is 000 Have you seen lightly? Yes, I've seen lightly. I've used lightly for months lightly is such a nice project and um It used to have the corner spag in famous corners back But now that the fix has been implemented in theory, let's likely could support it So that it doesn't have it anymore. And I think it just looks gorgeous gorgeous Will there be a redesign of this cover? Yes, it's underway piece by piece Don't expect something to come from one day to another but Version by version the things are improving How far along is plasma 6 development? I'm actually not following plasma 6 development at all currently because I still have so many plasma 5 merge requests. So that's where I'm focusing I think that Within a couple of years plasma 6 should come I think Do not expect it to be a giant release with everything changing at all. It's mostly stuff that's Underneath the surface behind the scenes, but that you actually need to rewrite once in a while It is indeed a very big span of blackness I choose it carefully Especially I meant the full time developers on FOS s word, but there are not many I Mean in general there are many full-time FOS developers I'm probably not many compared to proprietary but many in general In KD in particular not as much because KD does not actually currently hire any developer to work on KD Sadly, I think that there's some ongoing work to change that soon So anything else you want to ask me before I go? Quickly quickly Yeah, this one actually has the green light led. So that's pretty smart. I should have implemented it That's it almost it totally almost looks like it's an actual notch by the way KD release schedule says there will be two more versions before switching to six Based on the current situation, how many new 5.xx releases are needed? Also, what should be in focus in the last releases? Okay That's the KD schedule schedule actually say that Let me fact check quickly I don't think Because if you see future releases We've got 25 and then we've got 60 Now it is true that there's not 27 It doesn't necessarily mean that There won't be a 27.27. It could variable were Very well, sorry happen. Anyway Two versions of plasma are like six or eight months eight, I guess I always forget about that and I was under the impression that a bit more time was needed But I mean technically speaking it's one year because there's then four other months for the next release, but I don't know. I think it might be slightly more than two releases But I might be wrong because again, I'm not actively following the development of plasma six What should be focus in the upcoming releases, uh, I can simply tell you that plasma 5.25 is going to be In my opinion, my opinion The single biggest release of plasma 5 It it's going to have so much stuff in it. I'm super excited and I can't wait I'm hopeful because technically speaking Some feature a lot of features are not landed yet and they have to land before half of may But hopefully they will land and I think it will be one of the biggest release I mean the bigger biggest release in my opinion When's discovery work? It's currently underway slowly currently underway Which italian city are you from? genoa the one in liguria Have a nice lunch. Thank you No questions for me, but I wanted to say keep up the good work. Thank you. I'll do my best Yeah, because I already told you about the overview effect and it's going to improve Uh, I already told you about one-to-one gestures and that's a pretty big deal I already told you that I hope to have uh, both my panel of rewrite And the floating uplets. Sorry panels in it Hopefully hopefully if I'm lucky also floating uplets. So And even more there's a lot of very cool stuff That's that could land with some uh, lucky and I hope will be lucky Why kiddie plasma dark theme look ugly as compared to the lie theme? He just said the opposite of the other the other person asked the opposite thing And then right says such a subjective thing. Let me pop up the dark breeze Really quick appearance pretty stark plasma style. Please start. Does it look back? Oh, it's buggy nice Yeah, I had seen that back. We are missing the header bar In uh, uplets in the dark theme. I don't know why I should probably try to fix it probably But I mean to be honest except for this little fact that this little bug Looks good to me I don't know what's up with this. I mean, it's a bit grayish, I guess But that's because it takes color from the background if I have a blue background as an example Let's take blue If I have a blue background like this The panel is going to be tinted blue if I go with a green background It's going to be tinted black. You can see that it looks so pretty I mean, just look at this It just takes the color from the object that's behind it And it's tint. I just love I don't know what's up with It looks fine to me That's what I'm trying to say if you have some Objective issue with it, then I can surely try to address it like yeah, it's missing the others Where was I where was I? Not seriously here. I hope this index stays up to date with kd plasma wise Same, I don't know if it will. I'm not. I don't know about that. I don't know Are there any plans for Wayland coming up? I mean Wayland is getting slowly improved release by release Currently I use kd plasma Wayland as my And when I use kd plasma I use kd plasma Wayland For me, it works perfectly There are still some issues for other people and those other issues are getting slowly fixed release by release So it's not a big plan. It's just a plan of getting everything to work Is Kvantum going to be integrated into kd appearance? Nope Gotta go. Bye. Bye What about pinning windows so they display over focused windows? You can do that It's right click in the sidebar and then more actions and then keep above others Bye-bye cell phones and um blob from India. Hello India, and I think I'm gonna go through Yeah, I think I'm gonna go to thanks everybody for staying and before you disappear Let me focus again on the thing that I'm doing this on my free time and it's not easy to do that. So if you have Some spare like even if it's like a couple of euros that helps so you also get Access to secret videos if you just contact me Saying I did the donation. I will add you to the secret videos group. So That could be helpful if you want to know what I'm working on And except for that, thank you everybody and see you Monday with the next video
