Why not? I already did it and it works great.

Try to exclude it from being restored on KDE startup. There could be something running in the background that keeps getting saved and restored. Go to System Settings, System, Desktop Session, put virtualbox in the ignored applications list. You can also just choose “Start with an empty session” and then relog to see if that stops it from coming back, then you’ll know if this is causing your problem or not. Good luck!
You’re on 5, upgrade to 6 (if possible)!
Google added it to their search by default, I had to change my default search to exclude it. Same with my Android phone, I got prompted to switch from Google Assistant to Bard and declined. Really glad I did since I later read about how awful it is. Yesterday I saw a copilot icon in Teams that I have to use for work. I clicked it out of curiosity and it showed an error and then wouldn’t let me use Teams for 5 minutes. When I finally got in the copilot button was gone lol.
I think there’s more AI hate because it’s being pushed onto users that didn’t ask for it and don’t want it from the likes of Microsoft, Google and Amazon. And I think it’s warranted!
Fuck that guy.
“business wants to sell lots of products” fucking duh who cares.
If I remember my history accurately, that’s because tanks were a new British secret weapon. The whole reason they’re even called tanks is because that was the code name, they referred to them as water tanks.
Damn I had no idea Stallman could get down like that! I really hope he beats the fuck out of cancer and grows his hair back.
Who the fuck uses Windows 11?!
My company banned CCleaner from our computers because they got hacked once and didn’t know about it. Microsoft is guilty of the same negligence with an added twist of corruption and greed! Think they’ll ban all Microsoft software too?
Installing battle.net in steam is really easy. Just add non-steam game in steam and choose the battle.net installer, then right click on it in steam and click properties, then compatibility, and choose Force the user of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and choose Proton Experimental. Then just run it and install it like normal. Once it’s finished you just repeat the process for the actual installed battle.net program or whatever blizzard game you want. With this, you don’t have to mess with running custom commands. The blizzard launcher will be located somewhere like “/home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2806461641/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft II/StarCraft II.exe” where the big number after compatdata is something else. You can run the command
find ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata -iname '*battle*.exe
to help find it. Also you can tell Steam to always use proton experimental if you want, it’s been good to me. Good luck!
I found that changing KDE activities (like a virtual desktop) back and forth fixes it.
You can still make shortcuts to your steam games to launch them outside of steam. However I have noticed that the Blizzard launcher doesn’t seem to fully quit after quitting the system tray icon, I have to click stop game in steam. I guess I still prefer this to having unused wine/proton process running in the background.
Gnome is copying windows by putting buttons on the title bar lol
That was the thing that drew me toward KDE, super configurable. It seems like gnome tries to hide advanced stuff for users or just not offer it. That and it’s beautiful and full-featured.
Gnome’s demented ideas make it into apps I run in KDE. I don’t need buttons, drop-down menus, and text input fields in my title bar lol. I’m lookin at you, LACT.
Haha no, it’s technically not an emulator. Emulation means having a whole fake CPU that runs your software. Wine doesn’t do that, instead it makes the windows exe run in Linux and provides an API so the calls your windows program makes run natively.
Tldr emulation is slow, wine makes your programs run natively.
I switched to Linux for gaming a year ago and I have been blown away by how good it is.
Bummer! What’s its parent process? Maybe that will hint at something.
