SonicDE

The community-driven Sonic Desktop Environment aims to preserve and improve the X11-specific aspects of KDE.

@oemb1905 @XLibreDev Wow, twice! We're happy it works that well for you. Thank you for sharing.

@aean0x @WilburJaywright @LundukeJournal @ArtixLinux 👍

@WilburJaywright @aean0x @LundukeJournal @ArtixLinux We had a discussion on SonicDE support for the aerothemeplasma in https://t.co/TgEZY2WW27. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment there.

@Koto_Sumire Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll look into it when we're done with forking the things we need.

We forked the #KDE Plasma Login Manager. It now runs on #X11, drops privileges after init, and supports #systemd-free too. We tested it on Artix Linux with OpenRC, CachyOS with systemd, and on the #FreeBSD-based GhostBSD. #SonicDE sonic-login-manager https://t.co/EkSeVP5fgx

@bee_fumo You can check out the KDE blog post on the Plasma Login Manager and SDDM. It discusses the technical aspects and explains why they chose a different approach. We are following that one. https://t.co/sCBG7Mkd2I

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

@andersrh_rh Thank you very much!

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

@WesternAutocrat Yes, we deprecated the SonicDE packages on the XLibre repository. It was a friendly co-hosting solution to get things started, and now https://t.co/KIESVd7vhy is the authoritative source.

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

We consolidated the #SonicDE for #ArchLinux packages and created a standalone repository at https://t.co/KIESVd6Xs0. There, we provide binary packages for x86_64 and maintain the PKGBUILDs for the #AUR. Please update any existing custom SonicDE entries in your pacman.conf.

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

@DCFUKSURMOM Yes, you can use Sonic Login Manager on X11 as a replacement for both SDDM and KDE Plasma Login Manager.

trying artix linux with sonicde and xlibre, it is actually great

damn, even playing RE3 won't make my laptop overheat as severe as windows

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

@Techrev_9999 @MadScientist_42 Wow, that's the first time we've heard about SonicDE on Slackware. Congratulations! 👏

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

@nightshift_tony @Th00rBeardedOne @ReimuNotMoe SonicDE relies on Xorg or XLibre, which does not yet offer HDR support. However, @XlibreDev is currently working on an HDR proof-of-concept at https://t.co/TXxudoVDsY, and we’ll see if and how we can integrate that if they are successful.

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

@SyntaxError2505 @ReimuNotMoe For now you can find a SonicDE launcher icon at https://t.co/eyuo67fqaE which can be manually set to replace the KDE one.

@trucku_kun @vendefoulwolf Thank you for your feedback! We're working on reducing the RAM usage of SonicDE.

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

@DukeOfDumb1125 @ReimuNotMoe You can follow the guide at https://t.co/CMfIQSJxGl . The main package to consider is called "sonicde-meta".

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

@Crow53_ Certains de nos contributeurs travaillent actuellement à la création de paquets SonicDE pour ces distributions.

[SonicDE @SonicDesktop]

Rumor already has it, and it's true. We’re currently working on removing #Wayland support from #SonicDE and the underlying forked libraries. This will pave the way for us to focus on preserving and improving our #X11 version of #KDE #Plasma 6.

@a_steyrbach @XLibreDev @OpenMandrivaOrg Thank you for your feedback and the screenshot!

@XLibreDev @OpenMandrivaOrg @SonicDesktop the full combo of OpenMandriva, xLibre with x11-forwarding and SonicDE fork of Plasma work on Asus ROG ALLY X. Tested and proven.
