Administrative mid-month post by hhh!!!
I've proposed cleaning up the forums of cruft threads and even reorganizing the forum sections, and our small Team has agreed. One of the first suggestions, other than to try and archive everything, was to cut this thread to a once a year mega-thread.
No time like the present, if @PR or @D03 or @JR are posting the new thread on July first before I do, go ahead and and name it "2025 Screenshot Thread" or something similar.
I'd name it "2025 Screenshot Thread, BITCH!", so get there early to give this forum thread some dignity, or else that's what it is until the first of 2026.

^ Killer scrot, great looking and low on RAM Plasma. I'm a fan of terminal padding as well. Plus, Cowboy Junkies. What are your fonts?

^ Nice. I like the retro icon set.

^ I'm going for all the GNOMES in GNOMEDOM. Trashcan icon FTW.

Nice, thanks. My btop after cruising along for an hour, so we get the KDE/GNOME comparison (pretty much the same, resource wise):
-edit- That's a great looking shadow Plasma draws, are those default settings? You can't change dropshadows in GNOME without serious hacks.

That's all the default. The only changes I made were to un-float the taskbar and increase the opacity of alacritty terminal. The default opacity was something like 80%. Ok on their default dark wallpapers, not so good on anything light.
Plasma 6.4 was recently released so Arch/Sid installs should be seeing it soon.

Still playing around with KDE. Insane customization options, plus available plugins.
Also, intereseting ecosystem where I would have to compile KDE themes I find beautiful but do not have support for v6, because all are written in cpp.

I dunno about a lot of these Arch derivatives, they are full of far too much bloat, and with a little effort you can build a much better system from Vanilla.

CachyOS definitely wasn't bloat, and maybe my panel bug was an anomaly, but I couldn't fix it. Started to install Arch and got frustrated, the Debian installer is just so much easier, plus Debian package management is the bomb...

I'm happy with the Plasma 6.3.5 desktop it installed.

If your system doesn't support x86-64-v3(4), CachyOS is not a good fit. To test what level(s) your cpu supports, run
$/usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help

Usage: /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE-FILE [ARGS-FOR-PROGRAM...]
You have invoked 'ld.so', the program interpreter for dynamically-linked
ELF programs. Usually, the program interpreter is invoked automatically
when a dynamically-linked executable is started.
You may invoke the program interpreter program directly from the command
line to load and run an ELF executable file; this is like executing that
file itself, but always uses the program interpreter you invoked,
instead of the program interpreter specified in the executable file you
run. Invoking the program interpreter directly provides access to
additional diagnostics, and changing the dynamic linker behavior without
setting environment variables (which would be inherited by subprocesses).
--list list all dependencies and how they are resolved
--verify verify that given object really is a dynamically linked
object we can handle
--inhibit-cache Do not use /etc/ld.so.cache
--library-path PATH use given PATH instead of content of the environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
--glibc-hwcaps-prepend LIST
search glibc-hwcaps subdirectories in LIST
--glibc-hwcaps-mask LIST
only search built-in subdirectories if in LIST
--inhibit-rpath LIST ignore RUNPATH and RPATH information in object names
in LIST
--audit LIST use objects named in LIST as auditors
--preload LIST preload objects named in LIST
--argv0 STRING set argv[0] to STRING before running
--list-tunables list all tunables with minimum and maximum values
--list-diagnostics list diagnostics information
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
This program interpreter self-identifies as: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Shared library search path:
(libraries located via /etc/ld.so.cache)
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (system search path)
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (system search path)
/lib (system search path)
/usr/lib (system search path)
Subdirectories of glibc-hwcaps directories, in priority order:
x86-64-v4 (supported, searched)
x86-64-v3 (supported, searched)
x86-64-v2 (supported, searched)

Very nice. v4 is supported.
