The second something doesn’t work as expected, even a minor thing, they’ll be at a complete loss about how to even investigate the issue, let alone correct it.

In the majority of cases, this is no different from Windows users on Windows.

For a Linux distro, try Slackware or one of the immutable ones. For not a Linux distro, try one of the BSDs.

Yeah, I thought it was only usable for flatpaks

There isn’t a packagekit back end for Arch based distros so it doesn’t work.

Sorry to be pedantic, but if you can revive it then it wasn’t really bricked. Depending on how bad it was it was still worth the [Rare] ego item 🧑‍🌾

I use KDE as I can set it up just how I like it. I never got on with Gnome at all. The truth of it is that the only way to know if you prefer Gnome to KDE is to give it a good try out. Don’t forget Cinnamon, Xfce, and Mate also!

As well as what has already been mentioned, when I used it, it crashed a lot.

Try Ctrl + Alt + , to bring up keyboard shortcuts and from there your should be able to set show menu bar. Ctrl + Shift + , brings up the settings. These are all default key bindings so if they have been changed, you will have to experiment a bit.

Then there seems to be something wrong with your theme or installation as you should get the above. Also, Ctrl + Shift + T should open a new tab by default.

What version of Plasma are you running?

It looks like you’re clicking on the title bar, roughly where the menu bar would be, click instead in the actual window.

If Ctrl+Shift+M isn’t showing the menu then try right clicking on the konsole window and using the “Menu” option right at the bottom of the list.

Well Arch and the like tend to managed from the terminal so I guess no one cared enough to write one.

Discover is not working properly on Arch based distros because there’s no packagekit backend for them.

It’s in the aur, so use yay or another aur helper to install it

But it starts a good conversation. It’s good to get a handle on other peoples experiences.

You can install Octopi or Pamac which both handle the standard repositories and the aur. I don’t know if they handle flatpak or snap though.

1. Window rules are working fine here but I only have a couple of simple ones. I seem to recall a problem with a lot of rules, like 50 or 60 but I can’t remember what the problem was.

2. If you have exactly the same image, then as far as I can tell, the only thing different is the hardware however unlikely it seems and it does seem unlikely.

I consider myself a prime candidate for bugs as I use quite a few widgets including third party ones and compile desktop effects from source but apart from afore-mentioned, nada. I sometimes wonder if it’s because I carefully choose my hardware to be Linux compatible even if it means not buying the latest and greatest. Maybe I’m just lucky 😬

Experienced none of that with openSUSE Tumbleweed or EndeavourOS. The only bug I have is a panel mis-sized when first logging in but that seems to be fixed in 6.3.
