Im the opposite, i really don't like the new Breeze Darker, but love the current Breeze Dark.

For native apps it should be easy enough to change back and keep current. But does anybody have a suggestion what is the most sane way to keep current Breeze colors for Flatpak apps?

GUIs can be very good for getting started and learning concepts though. Much more "discoverable" and can allow for quicker iteration.

Then when learning the "proper" command line tools, the process should be easier as one already knows the concepts and terminology, and can concentrate on just the tooling.

Was it "groupadd" or "addgroup"...? I can never remember xD

Syncthing is probably the best option. It'll keep a copy on both devices, and can sync any changes made on any device. It's a direct connection, no intermediary server required.

Another way, which is a bit round-about, but surprisingly easy: Install Zim Desktop Wiki (a notebook app), enable its built-in web server, and add your PDF to the Zim notebook. From the iPad use the web browser to open your Zim notebook (Assuming both are on the same wi-fi). This is read-only from the iPad, can't make changes.

Did you install the Flatpak org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze ?

You can check by running flatpak list

I made some notes while I had a problem with Zim flatpak not following Breeze GTK theme:

https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/desktop-integration.html#applying-themes //The applications will try to match the system theme currently being used, if it corresponds to any of the Flatpak themes installed, and will fall back to Adwaita (if they use Gtk2 or Gtk3) or the default Qt theme (if they use Qt) if a corresponding theme isn’t detected.//

== Solution: == ''flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0:ro''
Source: https://github.com/flathub/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze#workarounds
( I tried to install ''org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark/x86_64/3.22'' but //"This theme has been replaced by org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze, see README for workaround on using system color schemes. https://github.com/flathub/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze#workarounds"////////
Context: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma 5.24.7

Which brand is this? So I never have to go near it...

I have a Samsung TV from a few years ago, never connected it to the TV, so when I turn it on it just goes to the last used input (HDMI1 in my case). The bootup isn't even that slow , maybe 5 seconds or so. Not great, but not terrible..

Agreed, but only if wages and especialy minimum wage was inflation adjusted

PSA about mini PCs: They might not come with adequate cooling for RAM, leading to potential data corruption.

(I'm in the middle of troubleshooting/fixing overheating RAM causing memory errors, will post on /c/selfhosted when I have more conclusions).

TLDR: Bought 3 Minisforum HM90 mini PCs (for Proxmox), equipped them with 64gb (2x32gb) RAM, with a different brand RAM in each PC. All 3 give sporadic errors in Memtest86. The RAM overheats due to the 2 SSDs mounted in the lid blocking natural airflow. With the lid off, or an extra fan installed, there are no errors. The errors were very sporadic: 1 PC gave errors after 1-2 passes, then almost 24hours. Second PC gave errors after more than 24 hours and some cases more than 48 hours between errors. The last PC gave hundreds of errors on the first pas. To be fair, memtest is a synthetic test and the RAM is unlikely to see 100% utilisation in real life, on the other hand the two adjacent SATA SSDs and the NVMe SSD are completely idle during memtest, and will generate extra heat during production use.

KDE has a huge amount amount of configurable keyboard shortcuts, even many that are not assigned by default. Check out the keyboard shortcuts settings in each app, and in KDE Plasma Settings app.

For moving selected files in Dolphin (and any other file browser) I've always just used Ctrl+X Ctrl+V.

(Btw sounds like you're talking about the "context menu" button, and it's my personal pet peeve that this button is missing from many modern keyboards and laptops. On older Windows you used to be able to do Shift+F10 to get the context menu , but that doesn't work anymore so my main use for the mouse is right-clicking..)

Sudden culture shock from a Norwegian:

Still open is the transition of heat and cars to electricity..

Almost all electricity used by Norwegian homes goes towards heating (including cooking and hot water), and charging cars. So counting heating separate from electricity suddenly makes the electric transition sound less impressive. (And the transition away from nuclear more baffling). It's still impressive to see Germany really follow through on renewables though. 60% renewable electricity is still a lot

Is there a plan to transition away from burning fossil fuels for heating?

"10ft away from the screen". I.e. sitting in a sofa playing on a TV, compared to sitting at a desk close to a monitor
