I have traveled to another country in a different time zone and my laptop has not changed from my home timezone.

I use a steam deck and always on desktop mode and have been wondering this for awhile now

I tried minimize then maximize and moving the window, but still.

When I close an app an reopen it, it starts as it should, no display bug, but after the sleep happens, it restarts.

KDE plasma 6.7.x (Recent cachyOS)

Panel colorizer 8.0.0

WHenever I set a theme, It will reduce the size of taskbar pinned apps icons. SO now the Application launcher icon is of full/regular size and others are small. BUT ... The icons will snap back to regular size if I set panel height from panel configuration to 48. ie they become same as the application launcher icon. But below that the icons become smaller. See images.

I like to keep the panel size to 44. 48 is too large. Why is this happening? I checked the margin settings in Panel colorizer but nothing worked.

This one's particularly relevant to this sub since Plasma gets the best-supported path.

Orbiscreen turns a spare Android tablet into a second monitor for Linux. On KDE Plasma (Wayland) it uses a KWin virtual output through zkde-screencast directly, so there's no kernel module to install and no screen-share authorization dialog every time, it's genuinely rootless.

orbiscreen doctor will confirm which path it picked on your system and flag anything missing.

Install: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shadow-x78/ppa && sudo apt install orbiscreen (or COPR for Fedora, AUR for Arch)

Once installed it shows up in the app menu, click to start, right-click to stop or run diagnostics. No terminal needed after install.

Also does stylus pressure (4095 levels) for Krita, hardware encoding through VA-API or NVENC, and works over USB via adb reverse if you'd rather skip Wi-Fi entirely.

Would love Plasma-specific feedback, especially on multi-monitor setups combining a physical screen with the virtual one.

honestly. I can maybe cope with it but i prefer coding and similair things in spanish.

Not a KDE project, but worth a mention here. Audacity 4.0 is out, and the headline change is a full rewrite of the UI on Qt, moving off wxWidgets.

Along with the toolkit switch:

• Native HiDPI rendering
• Dockable/floatable panels with saveable Workspaces
• Light, dark, and high-contrast themes with configurable accent colors
• A reworked clip-editing model built around the new interface

Some older features (Time Tracks, MIDI tracks, Macro Manager, VAMP/LADSPA plugins) aren't ported over yet.

This issue is closed unsolved both on GitHub and on Reddit.

Recording the solution for posterity:

For me, the cause turned out to be KDE notifications being disabled. The DBUS message timeout is 25 seconds, and both ThunderBird and Signal would hang on receiving a message. Thunderbird would recover after 25 seconds and Signal would be gone. Re-enabling KDE notifications fixed the issue.

Is there a solution for tripping login screen in KDE plasma? Sometimes it goes wild, sometimes it is normal. Sometimes its on both screens, but usually only on external one. This only happens on login screen. I'm using Kubuntu 26.04.

Anyone know of any good android holo (or even android 2 or 3 themes)? Couldn't seem to find any but honestly that kind of UI looks sick and I wish to replicate it on my laptop.
