I think clear Linux is optimised for Intel chips. Not sure if there is an equivalent for amd

How is it? I was put off the last time I tried it due to the fact that it didn't seem to run in the background. Also wasn't great with office365 (which I have to use due to work)...

Will look into this - seems like a good solution!

 

I recently opted to move from XFCE to KDE Plasma after hearing so many good things about the KDE desktop environment. While I like the desktop interface/experience a lot more on KDE, there is one glaring issue... I can’t remote into it.

It should be noted that I use DWService.net as my remote desktop solution while out and about, and honestly it works flawlessly on other distros. I am also running on a mini computer in a headless configuration.

When I connect remotely, I am presented with the login screen with no issues, I can type in my password and submit that like any other time, however when it is supposed to present the desktop, it’s just a black screen.

I’ve worked around the issue temporarily by attaching a monitor to the HDMI-1 slot, but that defeats the purpose on how I want to use it. There was a similar issue with the XFCE environment, and the solution was adding a virtual HDMI-0 ‘display’, designate the resolution size, and carry on.

I’ve done a lot of internet searching so far, and nothing that I’ve read and tried has helped.

Is there a similar solution for KDE that I can implement and disconnect the monitor again?

Same here. I just get muddled up with all the other package managers. Tried Debian/Ubuntu a few times but always end up with a load of ppas and everything being a mess!

Very cool! Is the battery life any good? Tempted to try it

For the uninitiated, what is that? I am using lineageos on oneplus 6t at the mo

Xfce on work desktop, gnome works well with gestures at home on my laptop. Will be changing to kde when I get a new machine at work!

As a layman, what does this mean roughly? Videos played on youtube will use more GPU than CPU?
