Dawn of The First Day
-72 hours remain-running fedora 40 on my laptop, everything is very good, others than fedora own bugs, plasma is very solid
40 is not out, is that rawhide?
kinda it’s called branched they branch it from rawhide and create an “alpha” and run tested and such before opening the beta
This might be a stupid question but will Plasma6 be compatible with the Raspberry Pi?
Thank you very much and happy linuxing
I’d very much expect it to be. The raspberry is pretty much a normal (if a bit slow) modern computer from an application standpoint.
Needs to be compiled for its ARM architecture, thats it. Plasma also highly relies on GPU acceleration, so this also has to work.
will it be lighter on the CPU?
Seems unlikely it can get any lighter than the 0.14% CPU load average 5.27.10 is using right now
hmm strange, maybe some applet but when I was using it on my 3rd gen i7 laptop it never went silent and the CPU usage could spike to even 20% when idle
Maybe something wrong with the GPU in your setup?
I could see kwin using a lot more CPU if the compositing fell back onto software rendering instead of hardware rendering
3rd gen i7 is outdated
Even a 8th gen i7 struggles to keep cool and quiet compared to Ryzens from 2019 onwards running the same stack
I’d go with some applet as the culprit. I use a Haswell i7 laptop and it’s quiet
I run Plasma 5 on a 2nd gen i7 laptop and it’s idling just fine and quietly most of the time with no such spikes unless I have several apps running, including a web browser with a plethora of tabs.
My problem now is waiting for Fedora 40
