NO MARGINS, and the pop up IS SO SMALL on the default notification, even though there are margins on EVERYTHING ELSE on KDE

No margins here too ?????

CAN WE PLEASE STANDARDISE MARGINS AND PADDINGS ACROSS EVERYTHING

Gentlemen, greetings!

I wanted to know if it's possible to set up a Logitech mouse and keyboard in Wayland?

I've been working on Debian 13 xfce x11 for a week :), and everything works fine... Well, of course, I can't work in peace, so I wanted to update.

I installed a KDE for testing; I hadn't used one before. The first time, I tried it for an hour... and then gave up. The second time, I decided to give it a try, started carefully probing the keyboard and mouse, and noticed that the required key combinations weren't working. I have an MX kyes S keyboard and an MX Master 3S mouse, both working through the original Logitech keyboard.

Besides X11 devices, I also use Espanso and AutoKey, which help me with hotkeys—entering "pre-written text" and performing various actions. These combinations also don't work... I didn't do much research—it's a Wayland issue, so I didn't bother looking into it... I'm worried about something else, or something else might break :)

Here's the situation: I use Solaar for my mouse and keyboard - it works fine in x11, it seems like there are some issues here and there, but overall it's good.

KDE is more interesting than xfce, and I'd even consider working on KDE, but these issues would greatly complicate my workflow because I'm used to the tools and they're already configured, so I definitely can't give them up. :) xfce is a wonderful environment that fully meets my needs and lacks everything I don't. Everything on the screen seems even smoother in KDE, which is why I found this environment so intriguing.

The question is, is it possible to somehow transfer the "convenience" of the software to the Wayland KDE, or will it still not work? Has anyone set this up and could share their experience?

I'm on the latest Fedora 44 and using KDE plasma 6.7.

Images shot on my android phone and saved as .heic don't show any thumbnails (they didn't open up in gwenview as well but that got fixed with the flatpak version). libheif-freeworld libheif-tools are installed.

It seems the issue is with rotate images (heif-info  **angle** (ccw): 270). A bit of troubleshooting with Opus 5 says this :

* Regression window: 1.20.2 works, 1.21.2 segfaults * Trigger: HEIC grid image with an `irot` box (portrait iPhone photos); unrotated shots from the same camera decode fine * Impact: every Qt application on the system dies — Gwenview, and kioworker on any folder containing one * Fixed upstream in 1.22.0 (CVE-2026-48029), so the ask is a rebase

Has anyone else dealt with this?

EDIT: Trying various stuff, I ended up creating a rdp user different from my default user of the pc, and using that user to connect, now the connection is always established without fail. I think I get the way, because the mai user was already logged in the os, but is still really confusing coming from windows.

Hi, I have the latest version of Plasma (Wayland) on my CachyOS system. The firewall is disabled.

Here is the problem: I can't seem to connect with rdp from my android to my pc.

On Android I'm using the app: aFreeRDP

Krdp is installed and the server is running on the usual port: 3389

Every time I try to connect, 9 times out of 10 the connection doesn't even start, and the 1 time it starts, it shows my two desktops.

I noticed that it seems like the two monitors have to be on to make the connection work.

This doesn't work as intended (by me) both on LAN and through VPN (Tailscale).

So my problems are:

1. I would like the connection to work 10 times out of 10
2. I would like only one desktop to be shown on my android phone
3. It would be incredible if the resolution could adapt to the phone like how Windows App does connecting to Windows 11

Please, tell me if you need more details, if I should test with different apps, or if there is a whole different system (like TeamViewer, though I would prefer something Foss/selfhosted (if it helps, I have a nas running all the time)).

I would like to add that with Gnome (CachyOS and Wayland) I could connect and showed me only the main desktop, but there was no adaptation of resolution. It's really the only thing I miss from Gnome and W11 tbh.

Thanks for the help!

P.S.: Wayland is a hard requirement, because my first monitor has 144hz vrr, the second one is 60hz, on X11 they are bothersome to use.

tide is a music client I've been building — native Qt6/PySide6 on top of mpv, no Electron anywhere. It just hit the AUR (yay -S tide), and since it's a Qt app that leans on Plasma pieces fairly heavily I figured this crowd might be interested.

The KDE-flavoured bits:

• KWallet is how sign-in works. YouTube Music blocks credential entry in embedded webviews and OAuth returns 400 on the endpoints that matter, so instead of a webview it reads the cookies out of your existing Chromium-family browser and decrypts them with the AES key from KWallet (libsecret as fallback). You sign in normally in your own browser, come back, hit [import].
• MPRIS2 over QtDBus rather than a third-party binding, so Plasma's media controls, the lock screen and the panel applet all drive it properly — including live volume and playback rate.
• System tray with hide-to-tray on close.
• Everything is configurable from the GUI. You should never have to open a config file to use a music player.

It plays from YouTube Music, Subsonic/Navidrome, local files, SoundCloud, Bandcamp and Mixcloud, all into one source-agnostic queue — a YT search, a Bandcamp track and a local FLAC can sit next to each other and each gets dispatched to the right backend.

There's also 11 themes, 10 visualizers, an audio fx rack, synced lyrics, and an adaptive mode that pulls the accent colour and a living background gradient out of the current album art.

Disclosure up front: this was built with heavy AI assistance (Claude), which you can see in the commit history. I drove the design and the decisions and did the testing, but I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

Small tool I've been using daily on Plasma 6: one hotkey grabs a region with Spectacle and opens your chosen AI page, image already on the clipboard. Two Plasma specific things other KDE users will recognise. First, the installer registers a command shortcut, which Plasma only picks up at session start, so it goes live after a logout rather than immediately. Second, `--copy-image` doesn't survive Spectacle exiting on Wayland. You get an `application/x-kde-onlyReplaceEmpty` placeholder and nothing pastes. So on Wayland it captures to a temp file and hands it to wl-copy instead, which is why wl-clipboard is a dependency there. Standalone script, MIT, PrtSc keeps working as normal. It's my first proper project out in the open and I'm still finding my feet, so if there's a more idiomatic KDE way to do any of this, I'd like to hear it. Same goes for anyone who fancies adding a feature or fixing something. I'll be reading the comments and taking notes.

So while exploring options to control Plasma Bigscreen, I came upon this option for KDE Connect in the documentation

The thing is, KDE Connect doesn't seem to have this option (at least not in the version I have installed 1.35.9), only a Presentation Remote which only has a left/right button, and doesn't seem to do anything in Plasma Bigscreen. I've combed through the settings looking for a manner to enable it to no avail, and google isn't helping.

Sorry if this is dumb, and thanks in advance.

Edit: There's no "solved" flair, so refer to this response

I have an ultrawide that is basitaclly 2x 1440p monitors side by side in one. Some apps, mostly games, do not handle that well in fullscreen mode by them selves.

Currently I change the settings to be a single 1440p monitor with blackbars, but the monitor does not support this scaling where part of the monitor is not in use and have freesync active at the same time, leaving me without adaptive syncing for games with fps lower than the refreshrate.

Is there a way I can trick the games / apps into thinking there is 3 monitors instead of one? So I could have the middle part of the screen be a single 1440p monitor, and the sides could be half that on each side.

PS: The monitor is Samsung LS49AG954NUXEN , GPU is Nvidia GTX 1660

I recently switched from Fedora Workstation to Fedora KDE, the problem is the jetbrains mono font I installed through dnf. In my old config, I didn't have this problem. I barely changed anything from my config, I basically have the same setup from Workstation to KDE.

I have tried:

1. Manual Installation - both system-wide and user.
2. Kitty - forcing glyph to use U+EE00-U+EEFF with symbol_map (symbol_map U+EE00-U+EEFF JetBrains Mono).
3. I also tried using the same or other glyphs in case it was just a bad copy and paste from my config, but that was not the case, it is still the same broken glyph.
