I am one of the rare freaks that actually likes Fuzzy Clock. I have a lot of... time anxiety?? and only being told the "general" time helps a LOT with making things feel less URGENT. Fuzzy Clock (IIRC) shows the time in 5 minute intervals, so it's still specific enough to be useful, but not so specific that I'm like "OH GOD I ONLY HAVE 4 MINUTES AND 42 SECONDS LEFT OH GOD"
I had windows blinds for XP for the purpose of theming it to Vista. It had Linux and Mac themes as well. I remember it slowing the system. There was also an unrelated program that changed XP to a Linux Gnome DE during this time, now long discontinued. Came with a magazine on a DVD.
I use tiling window managers on windows, MacOS and Linux. I use sway on linux, glazewm on windows, and aerospace on MacOS. I just started using glaze like a few days ago and I loved that so much to learn how to do that on all my computers. although If I were to use a DE I would prefer KDE.
After over a decade of pretty much having settled on mainline Ubuntu (with Xubuntu on an old netbook), the Steam Deck forced me to use Arch with KDE Plasma, and I kind of like it! Thanks for putting out an informal sort of Linux version of an "Actual Play". It's like Twitch streaming Linux fiddling. I like it! Seeing different people's preferences, set-ups, and just seeing different ways of doing things lets me see a different way of doing stuff.
I gotta go with Debian because of their support for other ports. I use HP-PA servers still to this day. Thanks for your amazing work, I throughly enjoy the content on the channel.
You can have Workspaces in Activities but not vise versa. As you started saying, you can have one Activity set up for work and another one for home, both of them are separate and you can have 8 workspaces in each other. So, home doesn’t know that work is there. Hope this makes sense. Btw, openSUSE with KDE Plasma & Bismuth here. Great video, I learned there is even more customization in KDE than I was aware of. 😅
I use Manjaro (Arch derivative) with kernel 6.4.8 at this moment and KDE 5.27.7 Wayland, eagerly waiting for KDE 6 and Qt 6.1 libraries to arrive before the year ends. KDE has been greatly improved in the last couple years, even though sometimes it looks like it's only a Nate Graham's work, but there are quite a few people supporting it.
I caught the first few minutes of this and then had to head out earlier. Just finished watching it. That was a good how to on customizing KDE Plasma. Have a good weekend, fuzzy time, or otherwise. :)
For the poll I'd have to go Debian, though I fondly remember running Slackware and SLAMD64 as my daily driver for years. On the customizing topic, I also used to do bb4win on Windows XP which was a lot of fun to dial in, but these days I mostly go with the defaults for whatever distro I happen to be on, and save my customizing for Emacs and Pulsar. Thank you for the livestream, your videos are always so upbeat and I really enjoy both the positive attitude and the great content!
Sorry I missed this live. I do have KDE Neon on a macbook pro 2012 and will watch this for clues. Okay, editing this... One odd feature/bug. When I made my main task bar / panel (the default one) "floating" it wouldn't stay floating on the bottom edge of the screen. It does float (and is now) on the top or left edge (didn't try the right edge, cuz who does that?). Anyway, thanks... still watching.
Using Nixos rolling with kde plasma as my daily driver. Secondary drivers are OpenSuse kalpa and Debian. I use top panel with 9 virtual desktops (3x3 grid pager) and global menus too. To get time and date on one line - right click on the time and configure digital clock. Also, you can just type on an empty virtual desktop to search for stuff with krunner instead of going to the main menu. If you got custom global shortcuts, you can export it in the system settings and import that file on another machine.
As always, I find your material informative and encouraging in my use of Linux. But if you will excuse me, I also have to say that the hard hat is very fetching.
You hit the nail on the head with silverblue. I daily drove it for a while and liked it but ultimately ended up going the Arch route which is about as opposite as you can get :P
Debian or pop os. Used to use Ubuntu but these days I hate it. You should use a kvm software when using multiple computers. Barrier or symless synergy are my pick
I'm more the Xfce guy, but I watched because your vibe is so good!
Also an Xfce user here, although my first desktop environment was KDE, back in its 3.x days.

lol good old KDE, a desktop where even your settings have their own settings

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh! OMG OMG OMG Thank you for the shout-out, Veronica! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you so much for being excellent!!
Today a prever edit my config in a plaintext file. KDE unfortunately need so much a mouse drag-drop for changes.

under setting>workspace behavior>activities configue activies erase name default would take away the default name from the bar

I don't understand how you can read the "live chat". It is hundreds of lines, scrolling so fast. I just turn it off. I hate it.

25:44 looks like something you'd do to someone as a prank for not locking their computer.

I was shocked that we have the same Mice!! Great video btw.

Did you make the construction hat or did you buy it from somewhere?
I bought a white hardhat and taped a KDE logo that I printed at home onto it. :)

It is very hard not to think about "Home Improvement"! Is there a Binford-Distro that runs with KDE?

Cool. I've been tweaking gnome 4 in a VB getting ready to switch from gnome 3 finally. I've also been curious about how flexible kde is.
:D
Still cannot make up mind

First thing I change is the default menu. I prefer the slim one. I loathe Windows Start menu and anything that resembles it.
Hi dear Veronica, we can here you very well.
Nice episode, thanks.

Dear Veronica,
Love ya vids,
hope u can do some steamdeck Videos
greetings form germany
Thank you! I hope to pick up a Steam Deck sometime soon!
Debian or pop os. Used to use Ubuntu but these days I hate it.
You should use a kvm software when using multiple computers. Barrier or symless synergy are my pick
barrier repo has not been updated for a while, can you use symless synergy for free?
Hi Veronica👋 i really like ur vids, greetings from Turkey 💀🤙
i love Manjaro btw. İt's really intuitive to use
I love KDE Plasma. ♥
I hate it :D but not mater coz i like other more. ^^ I like JWM and LXDE more then this.
Good luck Veronica

There are basically two options debian/devuan( rock stable ) or arch( rolling release )
