    Over all I upvote posts if its something I would like to know about.

    In this case its good to know that there was some limit issue that (as on the page say) is already resolved.

    If it was intentionally done or not we will never know, but its good to know if it would happen again that there is some limit.

    I upvote because:

    • even if it was some wrongly implemented limit in this case, the shadow banning/hidding posts (or like in this case blocking follow) will happen in the future on all large platforms, it’s human nature to abuse it if you can get away with it
    • I dont like big central platforms, I rather would like to have a transparent/open platform but I know it will never happen as servers costs money and people like “free” and convenient stuff so platforma will keep monetizing people activity
    • if it could be even slightly true I rather have as many (affected) people know about it that there was an issue with follow and now it is resolved so they can retry to follow

    I use to split personal and work stuff.

    Mostly just change desktop wallpaper, have different pinned apps, and have some apps forced to start on specific activity using kwin rules.

    And I sometimes also on top of that use workspaces, for additional split if different set of work/personal activities like switching between projects or leaving chat on one and IDE on another.

    So it’s almost like a simple 2x2 workspace grid but with additional window/taskbar rules.

    Looks like the installer and grub is confused about the hard drive order different in instaler and different while booting, both those drives could also have the same partition/drive ID making it confused, that could happen if you cloned/copied the drive in the past

    I would say as a easy and safe solution

    1. unplug all other drives that you don’t want install linux
    2. Install Linux (best by formatting whole drive) - it should work just fine at this point
    3. After confirming everything works - connect the other drives back
    4. If Linux no longer boots after adding drives then tweak disk boot order in BIOS

    No language is useless, please don’t say that, some are just smaller

    Yes, sorry, I didn’t check other languages, as in the list there most likely are languages that are still heavily used and/or official country languages.

    Initially I was under the impression that they didn’t get added before because all of them are not official ones and/or used anymore like in the case of “Silesian” that I did check and confirmed that should be avoided as much as possible. It’s a disservice to new generation of people that still (partial) learn it in their own while growing in that region. Then those people go to different region inside their own country and (because they or the region “use that variant”) then have troubles with communicating.

    You have clear example with Poland and Germany. Example, imagine you live in France, you want to go to Poland (or Germany), you go to school (or get some lessons) to Learn Polish (or Germany), you drive to some random region of Poland (and Germany) and … surprise, only in that “small” region they talk not with Polish (or Germany) but their own (one of dozens) variant that they call “Silesian” (or Bavarian). And even if you go and learn “Silesian” (or Bavarian) it most likely will only help maybe partially…

    I call them useless because this language is a subset of old language that no one uses - or more precise no one should use it any more. It is a regional language from era where every region had their own culture and was occupied by multiple countries so the language is a mix of multiple molded languages that differs by region.

    Why it’s useless (in example of “Silesian”):

    • you can’t use it inside the country as it’s not official language that you can use when conversing inside goverment (yes, in some local regional governmental offices they understand it, but it’s not official)
    • in Poland people use the language “Sląski” (or like google call it “Silesian”) for many different set’s of words and dialects, and they differ to a point that one “Silesian” speaking guy sometimes have issues talking to another “Silesian” speaking guy
    • the translation is not helpful to people using that language as they know the official country language too
    • the translation probably will never be useful to any other person as they can always going to prefer to use official country language (or English)
    • the translation is bad on it’s own (as it’s only one variant of dozens if not more)

    So I’m going to call that language “useless” as other than historical value it should disappear as it this “language” was never fully defined/described and will never due to many “variants”.

    I don’t have an issue that they craeted it, I have an issue that they mixed the this language with other official (useful because still used) languages.

    I hope that in the future they will finally cleanup the bullshit language selector in google translate grouping them somehow to make it easier to quickly select the actually useful languages that people actually use on day-to-day basic.

    better than siting with dictionary for historian? maybe for me as a “native person speaking (one of the variants of) that language”? no, as I already pointed out it’s only one random variant from dozens if not more.

    There is a change for a cross OS malware but it’s probably still quite small.

    I would just remove them, and then if they dont re-appear after checking game file consistency then its’s mostly likely not a false positive.

    But if you know that last playerd is most likely before you installed current OS then it should be clean. I would check user level autostart and cronjob (so mostly stuff in $HOME/.config) places if something didnt get added, go ahead with life.

    Unless you are doing banking and other critical stuff on this machine then I would be thinking of hardedning the OS in some way and/or reinstalling.

    Whenever i get the Crash report window I fill it as much as possible and send, I stopped manually going into bugs.kde.org and manually create bug after the response I got was “it’s probably nvidia issue”, but for last months I’m on new AMD gpu and those issues still persist and I already learned to just periodically run kwin_x11 --replace& disown; exit to fix them and go with my life.

    And yes, the issues is probably not easy to track, as it only happen after at least few days or running it.

    Just recently the switch from plasma 5 to plasma 6 introduced another bug with the windows - every few hours/days i get a window that is visible but all mouse clicks go thru it and actually the window behind it receive those clicks, to fix it I (once again) do kwin replace.

    And yes, I’m heavy user with 2 workspaces * 2 desktops * a lot of open apps/windows running 24h/day, to the point just few days ago I got and error in console “maximum number of clients reached” when on X11 when trying to open any new window… (And I didn’t run out off RAM (48GB) or VRAM (16GB))

    So as much as I’m full time on Linux desktop for 8 years, the experience did improve a lot, but the stability of long running KDE Plasma slowly degraded over last years, hence my response.

    And I did have the same issues on my 8 year installation of Arch and on KDE Plasma.

    I had only few crashes and only on plasma 6, yes I did switch to 6.0.1 which is very quite new, so few crashes could be expected, but I’m on 6.0.4 (will update to 6.0.5) and kwin is still buggy with window ordering, and compared to xorg, on wayland I can’t do kwin_wayland --replace because it closes all my open windows/apps which is annoying. Heck, even killing/restarting plasmashell also shutdown all apps that was started from menu…

    Why did I switch? Because of hoping that issues from 5.x was fixed in 6.x but that was not the case :(

    Same that not many issues will crash whole kwin so they will never trigger “crash report”. It would be nice to have some some way to easy “trigger” state dump and open issue. That I would like the ‘stability’ and those last 0.001% of stability polish to be the focus for KDE.

    So as much as I love <3 KDE Plasma, and I yearly donate to KDE, I still can’t with clear mind suggest anyone to switch from MS Win to Linux (KDE) especially now with Wayland that made me lose all my unsaved work 3 weeks ago due to kwin crash.
