Neofetch: fedora plasma 40 - neofetch Fedora 40 KDE Plasma was suggested by a co-worker, and I tried it out. It seems way better than I thought. GPU is stable, X11 environment is clean, and overall it’s running smoothly.

Note: Since NewsFlash’s latest release was under Gnome 47, so need to run it with GSK_RENDERER=opengl from terminal:

GSK_RENDERER=opengl flatpak run io.gitlab.news_flash.NewsFlash

or use a specific environment:

# copy the desktop entry to your local directory
cp /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/io.gitlab.news_flash.NewsFlash.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
# edit the copied desktop file
vi ~/.local/share/applications/io.gitlab.news_flash.NewsFlash.desktop
# find `exec=` and replace with:
Exec=sh -c 'GSK_RENDERER=opengl flatpak run io.gitlab.news_flash.NewsFlash'
# save & exit
