  • How do the Tumbleweed Folks among us deal with this?

    We generally don’t add many third party repos and we set repository priorities. If I understand this correctly, you are currently using official openSUSE packages and your upgrade is prompting you to upgrade them by changing vendor to this home:wolfi repo. If you want to keep the original packages, you just need to set priorities: in YaST 's “Software Repositories” page for instance, you can select a repo and see what its priority is (99 is the lowest priority, 1 is the highest). You could for instance put the official repos at 95 priority and the wolfi repo at 99. This way, packages will remain set on the official repos even if there are new versions on the other repo.

    However, if you have packages that you want to get from the wolfi repo but are also in the official repos, with this method you will be asked to change those packages to the official repos, the inverse situation compared to your issue. You can tell the system to keep those packages from your chosen repo, I do it by choosing a version on the YaST Software page.


  • I had the same annoyance and ended up uninstalling it, I’ll look into remapping the up arrow too, I never liked the way ctrl-r works anyway. By the way, do you know how to delete a command from history in atuin? I found a bunch of discussions in development about this and some comments saying the function was added, but never mentioning the shortcut or command to delete



  • As I said somewhere else, to get more compact tabs you can go to about:config and search for a setting called browser.tabs.tabMinWidth, I usually change the number to 20 (the default minimum width is like 70) and tabs are allowed to become roughly as narrow as in chrome. And if by “more compact tab bar” you meant how tall tabs are, there’s the browser.compactmode.show setting, put it to “true” and then in the Firefox menu under More Tools → Customize Toolbars you can select “compact mode” in the “Density” menu on the bottom, which makes the tab bar and toolbars shorter




  • I really don’t think it’s a matter of “haters”. It might be more logical and consistent if you have no other frames of reference, but most Plasma users come over from other OSs who all use double click (Windows, Mac, even Gnome). If a new user blindly tries KDE and keeps accidentally opening everything while trying to select it’s just an immediate and big annoyance. It’s not even clear that it isn’t a bug because there is no clear explanation of how to select and how to open.

    Edit: we are of course all used to single clicking on touch screens, but there it is contrasted with the long press to see options and some “select mode” for file management. There is no system that works exactly like Plasma single-click, which makes it disorienting.









  • Ooh I see now! I should have thought of it, most of my songs are in opus format, and tambourine is only picking up the flacs:

    023-07-04 11:00:57.342 | ERROR | io.github.mmarco94.tambourine.data.Library | Error while parsing music file: No Reader associated with this extension:opus

    My bad, many music apps don’t support opus. I have everything in flac on a separate drive, but there’s no room on my laptop so I convert them. Opus is open source and compresses files in a much more optimised way than mp3, so you can get smaller files with way better sound quality.

    I have no idea how much work adding support for it would entail, but I would definitely use tambourine if you decided to do it. Right now I’m using Elisa on KDE, which is nice but very slow to recreate its database every time I add or change something.
