If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org/, check whether it has been reported.

PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

#KDELinux is still in Pre-Alpha stages and it shows. Was gonna make a video about it, but I decided to honor the Dev's request not to since it's still way too early.

But wow 5.2gb updates and 7.6gb images is way too much. Gotta get the sizes under control dudes !!! @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social

This seems to be because they can't do delta updates yet.

System updates are huge because we ship a whole new OS image, and delta updates haven't been implemented in Systemd yet.

I heard you can't even have different wallpaper for different workspaces yet

[–] krake@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can have different wallpapers (and different widgets and all kinds of other things) per activity.

Getting rid of what? Wallpapers? The ability to have different ones per activity?

@krake Wow ! Good for you I guess.. I don't need that many since I am not that crazy with apps.. Just 5 apps..

Mostly due to work. One activity for each on: browser, IDE/Editor, email, etc on different virtual desktops
