jesus christ what the frick is wrong with kde plasma? why the frick is it like this? Brand new fresh install and 1080p monitor and BAM half my shit is WAY oversized. Fricks sake I thought you people said KDE Plasma was good.
jesus christ what the frick is wrong with kde plasma? why the frick is it like this?
why are youtube videos so jagged??? god what an awful desktop
like I reboot and no matter what settings I choose, it resets the taskpanel to this massive fricking size. its installed on real hardware, nvidia drivers, cinnamon and gnome and xfce don't do this shit, only KDE Plasma is this fricking broken.
>literally uses jootube
>dumb pathetic homosexual

Nothing to do with kde but with youtube homosexualry.
>video is low quality
>blames the DE
you're clearly too stupid for linux
stay on your phone
Works fine on Linux mint. Everything is nice and sharp.
Say what you will about gnome but everything just werks in Ubuntu
yeah I never had issues on Ubuntu or Linux Mint. I never had issues on Debian with XFCE or Gnome. Just KDE Plasma. Every fricking time I try it, it has some massive bug that makes you wonder
>how the frick do they say this is release quality?
Debian morons NEVER managed to correctly package KDE Plasma. I suspect they hate it for some reason.
Probably paid to frick it up on purpose. Gnome gets so much money from Microsoft. It's arguably the worst desktop on Linux. I mean correlation isn't causation but there's a pattern. Microsoft is also a platinum sponsor of Debian. They called Linux a cancer. I'll never trust Microsoft.
Which linux distribution did you choose?
Just change the fricking DPI settings, moron.
I did, still looks like shit, Debian 12.
works flawlessly on X11/Arch (Plasma 6 tho)
looked like shit there too, yall told me to switch to debian 12 and it would be fine rofl. going back to Linux Mint. You ktards can kiss my kass. This is why people laugh at you. KDE was, continues to be, and will always be a bug ridden hot mess.
what's the PPA to get Plasma 6?
I'm using Plasma6 but for some reason the DPI setting is missing from my shit.
>you don't need that setting, lets rip it out!
now whats your excuse?
You have to use fractional scaling (if you're on Xorg, gl, KDE bent the knee.)
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. It won't appear (and yes, I'm using the Wayland session).
Kek switch to X11.
>Switched to x11 session
>About this System
still says:
>Graphics Platform: Wayland
wtf
wait, for some reason it didn't switch properly, now it worked and it's there
thanks anon
1920x1200 at 150% scale, kek.
I'm blind and I hate using glasses.
>I'm using the Wayland session
There's your problem.
You can change the height of the task bar by right clicking on it.
I did that and it resets after every reboot. -_-
That sounds like a bug anon. Report it to KDE.
They know about it and dont care.
donate a couple dollars and request they look into gpt stuff. if you want.
Id rather give my money to competent programmers like Clem who makes Linux mint. Honestly if one dude can make all of Linux mint and Cinnamon and have it be as stable as it is, why can't an entire team make plasma stable? Fricks sake it's honestly not that hard but they don't seem to know how to make things work on Linux.
>Fricks sake it's honestly not that hard
ok.
>moron seriously thinks clem singlehandedly works on mint and codes cinnamon from scratch by himself.

Bro I cant even run etcher to make another Linux Mint disk... why is KDE so shit?!?!
WorksOnMyMachine™
install gentoo
It's probably nothing to do with Plasma, and everything to do with Debian being an outdated piece of shit with ancient drivers.
I mean this too, I am
this poster. Newer drivers can fix it, but it isn't guranteed. Linux 6.6~6.7 along with NVK do a lot to fix things, but at the moment, NVK is a hot mess. Works really well on 16, 20, & 30 series cards but 40 series cards still need the closed source drivers. Nvidia and KDE Plasma are not friends.
>NVK is a hot mess. Works really well on 16, 20, & 30 series cards
does nvk still run like ass for games?
hey OP, I actually know why this happens. Cheap displays are using binned parts. Yes it is still the fault of KDE Plasma not adhering to the set resolution, it is trying to communicate with the monitor. The chip on your HDMI is saying "hey this monitor is capable of 4k" and the display driver inside is saying "no it is only capable of 1080p". Windows and other desktops on Linux are coded to just work with whatever resolution YOU set. You can force the DPI but that is a bandaid. It is built into the compositor. You can disable compositing but it will look like ass. Works fine on Wayland, but NVK is still very much incomplete. Come home to Linux Mint and ignore everything else.
plasma is good because dolphin. if gnome apps werent pure ass id use it. (just use the apps you want) so, firefox is hit and miss if it will respect the default apps i set. and id still be stuck with the gtk file picker.
Not op but i tried to do the kde song and dance. You can only put up with so much bullshit before throwing your hands up and ignoring it entirely. I'll put up with the filepicker nonsense in Cinnamon. Why? It doesn't frick up constantly. I want to like plasma. I really really do. But the devs are just too incompetent.
im not sure what to say
amd card, amd cpu
flawless running install of manjaro plasma since 2019.
if it doesnt work for you, well, thats the good thing about having choice in our corner of the OS world.
Sure that's fine and dandy but you're not running gpt on amd hardware. There's a lot to want to like but nvidia gave guidelines and everyone in the foss community said to frick off.
By the way amd ceo and nvidia ceo are related. They're both first cousins. There's no escaping the bullshit train.
scaling problem, most likely due to nVidia drivers.
>you people said KDE Plasma was good.
No, we never said that.
The people in KDE complain that new users can't go 15 minutes without having a "Krash" (yeah, with a K).
relax it looks good bro nice and chunky. post it in the desktop thread
looks fine for me
And what is your alternative, fricking gnome tablet shit?
xfce
Wayland just wasn't ready
>use shitty distro
>get shitty experience
OP is, once again, a flaming homosexual
KDE worked flawlessly on my Debian 12 install. OP is a moron.
>1080p when 1440p is 200 dorra and 4k is 300 dorra
FeelsWeirdMan
Have you installed VirtualBox Additions in it? What a fricking mess.
No I run Linux on real hardware.
>KDE Plasma was good.
KDE plasma is a burning pile of bugs and inconsistencies. It will never get better. Escape.
that has nothing to do with the DE you moron
