That’s an entirely different problem to the issues with dopamine the other guy is talking about.

I heard that Manjaro has greatly diverged from Arch over the last couple of years. Someone said EOS, which I think stands for Evolution Operating System is closer to Arch now, but I haven’t actually looked into it so idk how accurate that is. Arch takes more work to get set up than Pop does though, just FYI if you’re considering it. It doesn’t come with anything by default, unless you use a script to install.

You’re talking to someone who used to be an Arch user. It’s nothing actually specific to arch, it’s an initiative by KDE. People link to arch wiki because the wiki is a good source, and also because arch has more up to date packages than pretty much everything else.

Sorry, I don’t actually know how to do it. I was wondering if you can use the instructions on that page but change the package name to the latest package name. That would definitely install it, but I don’t think it will work. Based on what I read after commenting, Ubuntu LTS doesn’t have the required dependencies, and Pop is based on Ubuntu LTS. It should be available in the next version though.

Is it actually a different package name? That’s not how these types of things normally work. Either the new version is in the repos or it isn’t. The package name doesn’t container the version number either, it’s just kde-standard. I believe KDE 6 isn’t in the standard Ubuntu repos at all, even for 24.04, which is newer than the one Pop OS is based on. It seems you have to use KDE Neon to get 6 on an Ubuntu based system.

I tried manjaro Linux on a live USB and it didn’t work. I specifically used manjaro because it’s an easy way to get Nvidia drivers on a live system, yes I know it has issues. I doubt Arch would be any better in terms of HDR support.

Can you just follow the instructions from this page and change the package from KDE plasma to KDE 6?

How would you do this? I don’t think that’s actually possible but if you know a way lmk.

Thanks I had no idea that was even an option. I knew framebuffer programs could use HDR, but had no idea Kodi was one of them.

Are you talking about two stroke petrol engines or something else?

On that same note, if I were born in communist China, I would never call myself Chinese.

What does China being communist or not have anything to do with this conservation?

This post is massive misinformation. They claimed to be “Irish and Scotish” yet they were born in America. It’s classic Americans pretending to be something they aren’t to make themselves sound cooler, because it’s not cool to be American. They then start claiming they are descended from British royalty and all sorts of things. They took that comment out of context to make me look like the bad guy. Also tried saying they had stronger blood than me or some shit. It’s mental.

You don’t get it do you? The English conquered and oppressed the Scottish, Welsh, and Irish. If distant heritage is all that matters to you then surely I should be here oppressing you.

No I didn’t. Literally never been to America.

Yep born and bred in England.

I actually am from England though, as I was born and raised in England. This person is an American pretending to be something else.

Wouldn’t the CO2 levels have to increase massively for that to be an issue? I feel like this is hyperbolic.

If you read the Wikipedia entry for virtual box you can see it hasn’t supported software virtualization since version 6.1, and it had hardware virtualization support long before then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox

I am not saying it’s equally as fast, but it’s a myth that it doesn’t give direct access to the CPU, and it’s one I see repeated a fair bit.

KVM isn’t a Type I. VMware and virtual box aren’t strictly Type II either. They all use kernel modules and hardware assisted virtualization. So it would all be considered kernel based virtualization. People talking using these terms is normally a sign that they haven’t kept up with modern virtualization technology.

Also your confusing GPU performance with CPU performance. VMs don’t typically use the real GPU, at least not directly. So it’s about which has the best software. I know VMWare are known for having decent GPU emulation, though with VirGL KVM might take the win. Unfortunately VirGL doesn’t work on Windows. After looking at it it seems VMWare is best for graphics. I am also wondering if I can do seamless mode on KVM. That’s something both Virtual Box and VMWare can do.

What’s the graphics performance like these day compared to VMware and Virtual Box?

No LibreOffice isn’t better than MS Office. They gave me the form to fill out, you don’t always get a choice. They got it back as a PDF btw.

Which hypervisor do you use?

PopOS for now. Thinking of moving onto something else eventually. Maybe NixOS like on my Desktop or maybe OpenSUSE.

Flatpak
