Be aware that kwallet will require you to enter your password if you auto-login. Kwallet usually saves your passwords for wifi etc. That’s why auto-login with KDE doesn’t make much of a difference in most use cases

I managed to track it down further. The issue is that some icons (Discover, Gajim, Steam) pull their light/dark info from the “Colours” instead of the “Plasma Style”. So If you mix and match like I did (Breeze Twilight, i.e. Breeze Dark Plasma Style with Light Colours), then most icons will appear light due to the Dark Plasma Style, but some will be dark because they get their Light/Dark info from the Light Colours.

That information seems to be cached in ~/.cache/plasmashell/qmlcache/. When I delete that folder I get the broken icons. I f I use the cached folder from my desktop it’s fixed. I’m guessing some apps just are broken currently in that regard and I’m just “lucky”, that my desktop didn’t correctly flush the plasmashell cache

So I had some time to do some further testing into this issue and I made some “progress”.

On my desktop, who has the correctly displayed light icons for the dark plasma theme: if I straight up remove ~/.cache (rename it to ~/cache.bak) and reboot, several icons become black (update, gajim and steam). Meaning that somewhere in that cache (but not ~/.share/icon-cache.kcache, since I tried that already), the correct display of icons is located.

I’ll try to pinpoint it further and report back if I find anything.

It’s unusual that no default wallet was created for you. Did you disable loging in with a password? The wallet always needs a password, but default behaviour is to pull the user password from the login.

And digitalisation has been and still is an afterthought. In fact, budget for the modernisation of the tech development of the country has been cut yet again for 2024. Add to that the meteoric rise of the far right movement in politics, endangering the needed influx of migrants to bolster the trade-craft workforce. Germany is poised to continue losing it’s status as european power-house and slide into irrelevance.

Everyone without exception has had moments of weakness where they lashed out at something or someone wrongfully. That’s a bad deed but that can’t be the definition of a bad person.

Especially in this context. The dude isn’t really attacking the dev directly. He actually might just be venting. I wouldn’t do that like that but you really can’t assume anything from such a short exchange.

You’re a nicer person than I am. Being able to (lie and) say “no clue how that works on windows, I use linux” is a freaking blessing

Take a look at my post from several months ago: https://feddit.de/post/1892175

In the end I went with fydeOS since the touch experience with both Gnome and KDE was too lacking out of the box.

When I finally switched from windows to linux a year ago, I read about timeshift and how it is basically windows restore points. So I installed it and played around with it but didn’t really get it so I wanted to remove it. At that point I didn’t really understand what symlinks are, and I just thought timeshift is just crappy bloatware that dumped a bunch of unecessary shit on my drive. So I sudo deleted that shit. Turns out that was a bad idea. That’s the story how I nuked my first linux install.

This might not be what you wanna hear, but accounting for linux in game dev, especially in online games, comes with added costs. For most companies those added costs do not make financial sense, when the linux demographic is so incredibly small (1.63% on steam: https://www.statista.com/statistics/265033/proportion-of-operating-systems-used-on-the-online-gaming-platform-steam/ )

The hate on telegram is easy to explain. The server is closed source and you need to give them your phone number. Yes it’s better than whatsapp. But it’s worse than matrix or xmpp.

Are you on x11? Wayland oftens handles multi-monitor setups more gracefully. If wayland fixes it and you need x11, you would at least know where to start troubleshooting.

A couple months I came across a cheap convertible that I bought to tinker with and try out Linux with touch interfaces. The bottom line is that it’s very lacking. Gnome and KDE have some stuff for touch interfaces to make it kinda work but it’s definitely not suitable if you wanna use the touch stuff as your main navigation mechanic. I see a lot of people recommending Gnome in this thread and each time a similar questions come up, which I simply cannot agree with. Nautilus doesn’t even offer a way to right click. KDE’s on-screen keyboard is kinda spotty when it comes up. All in all it’s still pretty rough without mouse and keyboard. If you want to go full tablet mode you’ll be light years away from the experience Android can give you. Personally I settled for fydeOS, which is a ChromeOS fork.

Ok, it’s not your mouse, it’s something else, probably a rendering issue. Can I make a wild guess? Are you on X11? In that case try this:

Add this

Section "Device"  
    Identifier "AMD"  
    Driver "amdgpu"  
    Option "SWCursor" "True"  
    Option "VariableRefresh" "True"  
EndSection   

to a new file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf and reboot.

AMD GPUs sometimes have this wild random bug with hardware cursor rendering.

Be aware, that you might get some side effects, like flickering buttons when hovering with the mouse.
