KDE is so beautiful but soooo full of options! GNOME is just minimalistic & simple, and if you want more deep control just add the extensions. I have GNOME with Tweak Tool and Dash-to-Panel extension, which is similar to KDE/Win. It's easy, fast, user & touch friendly. Thanks for the great video.
Wow! Thank you for the shout out! Very kind of you! I am glad that Krita is working out for you, the program has come a long way and is definitely going to keep getting better. I am sorry that KDE didn't quite work out for you. Gnome is a solid DE and if it does the job for you then that is awesome.
Well thank *you* for the tip ;) I do find it a bit slow and I'll have to look into that. I did like KDE, but if it can't screen record then I can't use it... Thanks again for the tip!
Try this: KDE System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor: uncheck "Allow applications to block compositing". In Rendering backend make sure you have "OpenGL 3.1". Finally, consider reporting the problem in the Manjaro Forum.
That was some of the first things I tried. When searching for a solution, I came across someone with a similar issue on the forum which hasn’t been resolved yet. Hoping a fix comes out soon. Thanks for the tips! 😊
It has been reported, but I'm not using the latest KDE anymore and I'm back to Gnome. However, I'm playing with a slightly older and more stable KDE version from another distro that doesn't have the flickering issue so far...
I had the same problem in manjaro with KDE. It was enough to get me to distro hop because I absolutely cannot stand gnome. It's work flow is completely backwards from the way I think.
@Björn F it's not a KDE bug, it's a problem in manjaro. I'm running tumbleweed now, which is using the same version of the kernel, and the same version of KDE and it has none of the screen tearing.
@Elmwood Yes I concur that it's something specific to Manjaro. I use Q4OS with the same KDE and Nvidia package versions, and I don't get the flicker. Note that this was a flickering, not screen tearing, and only visible in screen recordings, it was not visible on my monitor.
I prefer Gnome. It fits my life phelosophy. Keep things simple and simplified without clutter. Why clutter with something like KDE. I want a DE that stays out of my way and allow me to get work done. This is the beauty about Linux, the choice is up to the individual. Ps: simplify your life even more and try running Manjaro.
Yes I've been running Manjaro as a main distro for over 6 months now and this is my 2nd go at using it as a main. I ran both Gnome and KDE but stuck with Xfce. KDE can still be fairly simple and minimal as well if you use the right parts. I may go back to Gnome again one day, and since I used it for a decade straight, I'm obviously a fan of it :)
I second Peppermint OS as a suggested install. Now, if you go Pop! OS (NVIDIA) - watch out for strange issues especially when booting up, which I experienced. Upon researching, I discovered that Kernel 4.15.24 has been a problem with various distros. If I boot in with kernel 4.15.23, no issues(so far). Apparently, the 4.15.2x releases are putting Linux users through some bumpy rides recently. Otherwise, Pop! OS is really impressive and fast. As for KDE issues, ehh what are going to do. I know I'm in the minority here, but I admittedly love the workflow and slick experience of Gnome comparatively. Especially on how Pop! Implements Gnome. KDE feature wise is incredible and memory management is great, but man I just don't like the experience. There just seems to be too much going on and with all that customization, I'll never get any work done. 😬 I'm sure you will make the right decision and if not, then all of us will be here to say "Hey I never told you to do that..no not me man". 😜
Thanks for the tip on Pop. Exactly what kind of strange issues are you experiencing? I'm still sticking with 4.14.53. Runs great, no hardware problems. I do really like KDE, and, if it just recorded screencapture properly, I would still be using it! A shame...
DorianDotSlash Occasionally when booting up, just prior to the login, the screen would go black. After about 30-60 seconds the login screen appears. Another time, upon boot up or shutdown, as the processes are stepping through line by line, occasionally the OS would run a cron job-something regarding cryptography? It would say that it is running 2 tasks and could take up to 2 minutes to complete. I didn't write it down and my memory..forgets too quickly, but as soon as I switched the Kernel. Problems gone. 🤔
Haha my patience was wearing thin enough to resort to that 😉 I think I’m going to split the old KDE partition and put both elementary 5 and PopOS on hardware. Mainly because I really want to see if PopOS works with Optimus.
I've tried many desktops, most recently KDE on Neon, Kubuntu and Manjaro.... it's awesome, the low use of resources is incredible. But, as in the past, went back to Gnome, it just works for me, I'm so used to its workflow. the downside of gnome is the high use of memory. Loved your wallpapers by the way... would you share?
Agreed. I've gone back to Gnome. It's like home. You can find my wallpapers by doing an image search for "Low Poly Mountains". There are lots of different options :)
They say you should uncheck the check box in Nvidia drivers that say "vsync" and then check it back again. That usually happens when you use some recording program
Yes I never have that option in the Nvidia settings application. I never have, on any distro. I tried manually forcing it through the config files but still nada. Recording works fine out of the box with other distros, so I just need to move away from KDE unfortunately.
It was X11 which I confirmed. I’m not a fan of Wayland just yet, because some effects are not supported, and as you said, it lacks screen capture support. In fact, simple screen recorder won’t work at all under wayland. I never tried with OBS.
You can force windows to appear on the active screen with a setting called I think active screen follows mouse. Also what I changed is that the windows appear centered and not their "Smart" thing
I know that Krita uses the GPU for some things, e.g. canvas rotation, but other things it does not. There is settings in Krita though specifically for enabling GPU usage, but I don't know how many tools are actually supported, or if it's just for some viewing basics. On the Kwin flickering, I believe setting "force full composition pipeline" in the Nvidia control panel fixes the issue, though it's probably a bit late to mention that... I know I've used OBS with Plasma while screencasting wallpaper creation and I haven't had that issue. :/
Yes disabling the canvas graphics acceleration slows it down. But I don't see any difference running krita with Intel GPU vs NVidia GPU so I think acceleration is very basic stuff, and not things like drop shadows, stroke, outer glow etc... I tried the pipeline trick but to no avail. Pretty sure the pipeline trick is for visible flickering/tearing on the screen, and my issue was only with recording (I don't see the glitches on my actual screen).
Want to use a stable KDE desktop, try OpenSUSE leap 15. It's the best distribution for KDE. I been using suse for about 12 years. I keep getting back to it.
I didn't notice anything strange. I do use an AMD graphics card, I probably should of mentioned that. I did come by a video by baby WOGUE here on RUclips showing a possible solution. They uncheck "allow flipping" in the Nvidia X Server settings under OpenGL settings.
Might do that. To be clear though, it has nothing to do with the monitor. I don't see any flickering on my screen, they only show up in the recordings. I'll see if he has any insights. Thanks for the tip!
Sorry this comment slipped past me 🤪 The multimonitor thing wasn’t that big of a deal for me, it was the flickering. That’s why I can’t keep using it on my main machine that I record videos on. The videos turned out looking glitchy.
little things. It didn't recognize the number pad on my new laptop. I couldn't find how to disable the touchpad when a mouse is plugged in. Other small things.
Tried it several times but couldn’t get Nvidia Optimus working in Leap 15 for switchable graphics. Then after a rude and insulting conversation from a member of their board with his complete lack of giving a crap about hardware support, I’ve decided to never touch it again. 😁
That is Arc-Maia. You also must install Moka since Arc-Maia uses some Moka icons. You can download them here : osdn.net/projects/scionlinux/releases/p15671 They're in the Scion icons moka maia compressed file.

Maybe you can help me become a Gnome fan. The problems I had were the following: Some of the extensions worked in real time when enabling, others didn't. When some of the extensions were enabled in real time, I couldn't disable them in real time. Also, I do not like the entire show all of my apps within the entire screen. I like menus.

Is there a way to get rid of this functionality permanently?

The only way I was able to get rid of it was to turn off the compositor, and that's not a solution for me. I'm using Q4OS KDE now and it works fine! Must have been a Manjaro KDE problem.
The problem with KDE Plasma seems to be due to Nvidia using custom EGL and KDE devs not wanting to make additional code just for Nvidia. community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers
I never tried it. I used simeplescreenrecorder before I started using OBS. But now I rely on the features of OBS so there's no going back to ssr... Out of curiosity I'll try it out.
Any reason for that statement? Because considering it's been around since 1999, is the default desktop for many distros and is still in very active development, it can't be that bad now can it?
DorianDotSlash gnome crashes and brings down your whole desktop (single thread), gnome “styling” and css is such a joke that gtk developers actually wrote an open letter to distributions shipping it to “stop theming their apps”, and popularity does not equal quality... if it did then Windows 10 would be the best desktop operating system in the world... it clearly is not. #kdelife
@@KingZero69 I've never had Gnome crashing issues. As for the devs asking to stop theming, this wasn't towards Gnome, it was towards distro creators, as Gnome doesn't have a theming framework. Gnome Tweaks was added to modify Gnome's styling which is more of a hack, and distro devs have been using it to create their own themes. That letter is also bogus considering the appeal to Linux is that it can be completely customized and has been this way forever. So anyone making software for Linux should expect different themes.
DorianDotSlash many people do have crashing issues with gnome even if you do not... gnome devs keep removing features (live desktop with files/folders, etc) instead of adding them... and gnome theming is a hack, you are right, but you stated that all the distros shipping gnome was a positive... but apparently they are doing it terribly since they are ruining the style sheets... also, theming works perfectly in KDE Plasma, because it was built with a consistent and reliable theming system...

I was just about to say "Lamborghini" but you said no cars...
gnome is the worse linux DE by far...
Any reason for that statement? Because considering it's been around since 1999, is the default desktop for many distros and is still in very active development, it can't be that bad now can it?
DorianDotSlash gnome crashes and brings down your whole desktop (single thread), gnome “styling” and css is such a joke that gtk developers actually wrote an open letter to distributions shipping it to “stop theming their apps”, and popularity does not equal quality... if it did then Windows 10 would be the best desktop operating system in the world... it clearly is not. #kdelife
@@KingZero69 I've never had Gnome crashing issues. As for the devs asking to stop theming, this wasn't towards Gnome, it was towards distro creators, as Gnome doesn't have a theming framework. Gnome Tweaks was added to modify Gnome's styling which is more of a hack, and distro devs have been using it to create their own themes. That letter is also bogus considering the appeal to Linux is that it can be completely customized and has been this way forever. So anyone making software for Linux should expect different themes.
DorianDotSlash many people do have crashing issues with gnome even if you do not... gnome devs keep removing features (live desktop with files/folders, etc) instead of adding them... and gnome theming is a hack, you are right, but you stated that all the distros shipping gnome was a positive... but apparently they are doing it terribly since they are ruining the style sheets... also, theming works perfectly in KDE Plasma, because it was built with a consistent and reliable theming system...
I also like KDE, but Gnome is still a top favourite for myself and many others.
