I primarily use Summit, but I also use an RSS Reader because lemmy supports RSS

I had been on Linux communities for so long that I thought this thread was about the default music player in GNOME Desktop Environment

Edit: typo

Don't worry about it. That rule hasn't been relevant in a long time since we no longer use floppy disks

I agree, but then again, neither Windows nor MacOS tell you where their file paths are. It's not like Windows tell you where AppData is. They don't even show file extensions by default.

That said, there are quite a few Youtube videos explaining about Linux file paths.

I don't know whether the same would apply to GNOME, but perhaps it could be. Perhaps there were specific packages for configuring color, but I also never used GNOME so I couldn't attest to that.

This is by no means exclusive to KDE, though. Notifications and media control does work on other desktop environments as well (at least it does on XFCE), though media control has to be done inside the KDE connect app.

This post seems to work well, given that it has remained in the active tab for days now with the sheer people commenting on it.

You can always change the font on your ebook reader. I know Calibre has the option.

Perhaps the required KCM (KDE configuration module) for that is not installed in your system. That did happen to me in my minimal Debian setup.

I don't really remember the name of the package, though. I think it was kscreen, but I might be wrong.

This is the blog post that details KDE's plan to remove X11. The linux experiment, as far as I know, also mentioned it in his linux open source news videos.

I had to install X11-session for KDE, after switching to that it works fine again.

Unfortunately, KDE is planning to remove X11 session entirely around 2027, so if the problem still persists then it might be wise to find another distro or stick with old KDE versions.

Personally, I have XFCE installed alongside KDE for running programs that are buggy on Wayland (which was few and far in-between). Otherwise, my hardware supports Wayland well (as it only has Intel integrated graphics anyways).

Emphasis mine. Wow, only 2 GiB...

That's not as low as you'd think, to be fair. I've tried to run Kubuntu on a 10 year old laptop with 2 GiB RAM and it worked, if only a little laggy. That being said, it crashes after half an hour without swap. But with swap, it is legitimately daily drivable (as long as you don't run heavy apps, of course).

I'd imagine a distro that's designed to be even more lightweight would be able to handle that.
