I opted for the version with RAM and nvme for $270. had to pay shipping, but no import tax (lucky me). So all in all it was about $300 for me.

And yes I run Linux on it. Arch Linux to be precise. Have not encountered any driver issues.

Why not just log in as the user in TTY and then start it?

I'n not sure I understand the use-case of why it needs a Plasma session to start a script that needs to keep running afterwards. If the script itself does not need a plasma session, then you can just start it as a user service with systemd.

Exactly. It handles Jellyfin + other services very well.

I bought a "cheap chinesium" one a couple of months back and have not regretted it (yet). It does what it claimed it would.

The one I bought: Aoostar R1

I was thinking the same. Could be an IP conflict.

I have a few things in my Plasma desktop that is not translated. So it seems to be the same as you encounter.

I've just learned to live with it, since it's likely just untranslated strings somewhere.

Shipping prices would vary depending on location though, right?

Have you checked out Calibre? It seems to be what that does.

I know it's active, but most of the stuff being added is not something I use. "Plain old" is a figure of speech for something that is pretty "vanilla".

mlt was also updated, have you tried downgrading that?

Some stuff in your output relates to mlt.

I doubt they’re outright rejecting any idea of progress. They’re likely just not convinced by what the fancy options offer

Exactly. I don't mind progress. But terminal emulators that does things you become dependant on, is not great in my opinion. Because what happens the day you only have a TTY to get things done? If you rely on all the fancy stuff, you would feel lost.

So yeah, I am not convinced that I need my terminal emulator to be fancy. But some people clearly are, looking at the rest of the comments on the post.

I can't see the benefit of fancy terminal emulators. I use plain old Konsole (mostly on Plasma) and as long as it has good history search and multiple tabs, I'm good.

Hi all.

Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.
