I have no experience with this project. I have been using a mouse from Zowie for several years under Linux, where all settings can be made with switches on the mouse so that no software is necessary.

and if IIRC widgets and plasmoids work differently now.

So basically what KDE has done with Plasma 6 onwards. Wayland is standard, but you can still use X11 if required.

An understandable decision. At some point you have to start switching to Wayland.

Have you already checked whether xwayland is still installed? And have you tried to start the program using QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb your_program?

In the meantime, I have installed the update to Plasma 6.0.1 on my notebook. There were no problems and so far everything is working as it should.

On Arch Linux, Plasma 6.0.1 was released a few minutes ago in the testing package sources.

I am curious if this version will reach the official repositories or if there are still reasons to delay an official release.

Edit: That went faster than expected. Plasma 6.0.1 has been moved from Testing to Extra.

Earlier, the link to the changelog at https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.0.1/ did not work, but the one I used did. In the meantime, the link at https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.0.1/ works and the one I used does not. I assume that someone from KDE has adjusted the link in the meantime.

I have updated the link accordingly.

As always, such statistics should be treated with caution.

What methodology is used to calculate Statcounter Global Stats?

Statcounter is a web analytics service. Our tracking code is installed on more than 1.5 million sites globally.

Source: https://gs.statcounter.com/faq#methodology

It is assumed that there are more than one billion websites worldwide. It is therefore not exactly unlikely that a Linux user will not access any of these 1.5 million websites.

Furthermore, it is quite common for Linux users to use tools such as Pi-Hole that simply block such statistics scripts. This means that these users would not be counted even if they accessed one of these 1.5 million websites. For my part, I also use computers with Linux that I don’t use to access websites. Some of these computers don’t even have access to the Internet. They are therefore not counted either.

Finally, let’s come to the most important point. Percentage values say not much if you don’t know the actual number of users behind them. Let’s assume, for example, that 3.5 per cent Linux users were detected in December and only 3 per cent in January. However, if the total number of users was higher in January, it is therefore possible that more users were detected in January.

I can’t really use NTFS because Linux can’t write to it.

This is not correct.

For example, there is the driver ntfs-3g. This allows read and write access to NTFS partitions. The disadvantage is that it uses FUSE and is therefore slower in some cases.

Since kernel 5.15, read and write access is also offered by the drivers provided by Paragon (ntfs3).

Because I personally use btrfs as file system for Linux, I use WinBtrfs under Windows.

ExtFAT would also be a possibility. However, one should be aware that the file system was originally designed only for flash memory storage such as USB sticks.

You can follow the submissions via an RSS feed.

For example, if you use the link Https://lemm.ee/feeds/u/Corr.xml?sort=New, all your previous posts will be displayed.

Instead of lemm.ee you need to specify the instance where the user in question is registered. And instead of Corr you have to enter the username. For example https://discuss.tchncs.de/feeds/u/fryboyter.xml?sort=New. That would be in this case my contributions.

Mainstream? Not a chance. Many people know Twitter and Facebook, but they don’t know what Lemmy or Reddit is, for example, and therefore don’t use it.

And it usually doesn’t matter if solution A is better than solution B. What becomes mainstream and what doesn’t usually depends on other things.

You basically have to decide for yourself what you want to use or not. In my opinion, there is no objective right or wrong.

For my part, I cannot and will not rule out that I will continue to use Reddit in some form. Just like I can’t rule out that I might not use Reddit anymore. And no matter what I decide, it’s my decision to make and I don’t have to justify it.
