  • Yeah, the wording is confusing. A long time ago, there was no paid software, there was only software where you got the source code and other software where e.g. it was pre-installed on some hardware and the manufacturer didn’t want to give the source code.

    In that time, a whole movement started fighting for software freedom, so they called their software “free”.




  • I don’t have much experience with IPv6 yet either, but as I understand, the primary benefit is that you can get rid of a lot of the crappiness of IPv4, which you might just deem ‘normal’ at this point, like NAT and DHCP. It does happen quite a bit, for example, that we’d like a unique identifier for a host, but with IPv4, you need to store a separate UUID to accomplish that.




  • I’m not sure, if that will show up everywhere where the Dolphin icon is used, but you can change it in the menu and, I believe, the panel, by editing the Dolphin entry in the “Menu Editor” application. There’s a button to select the icon there:

    In that dialog, if you select “All” in the dropdown and then search for “stock_folder”, that icon looks pretty close to the old Dolphin icon. Of course, if you’ve got the old Dolphin icon on disk somewhere, you can also select it with the “Browse…” button.


  • Hmm, thinking about it now, I actually don’t have much beyond the Breeze (Light/Dark) themes preinstalled either. I have the openSUSE themes, because I am on openSUSE.
    Aside from that:

    • In Window Decorations, there’s the Plastik theme.
    • In Application Style, there’s “Fusion” and “MS Windows 9x”.
    • In System Sounds, I’ve got “Ocean” and “FreeDesktop”.
    • And in “Login Screen (SDDM)”, I have “Elarun” and “Maldives”.

    I believe, the Oxygen themes got removed from the default themes, possibly with Plasma 6.
    But yeah, maybe you also just had additional theme packages installed. The Arch Wiki lists some of those, too.



  • With the application focused, press Alt+F3 to bring up the window menu. In there, under “More Actions”, you can uncheck “No Titlebar and Frame” for temporarily changing this.

    But you’re probably interested in permanently changing it. For that, select “Configure Special Application Settings…” instead.
    In that window, click “Add Property…” and select “No Titlebar and Frame”. Then change “Yes” to “No” in the newly added line and click Apply.

    This changes it for that one application. You could also tell it to render a titlebar for all windows (with potentially unforeseen consequences) by changing the “Window class” dropdown to “Unimportant” and selecting “Normal Window” in the “Window types” dropdown.
    If you change it like that, you can find this rule in the System Settings under “Window Management” → “Window Rules”.



  • A trick you can do to find out individual settings files, is:

    1. In your ~/.config folder, run git init.
    2. git add .
    3. git commit -m "Initial commit"
    4. Change a setting in the GUI.
    5. Run git status or git diff to see which file got changed.

    You can then run git restore . and repeat from step 4.

    If you’re done checking settings, just delete ~/.config/.git/.
