No problem. I actually discovered this via an entirely different route, and it can really be frustrating sometimes.

KDE Plasma is so powerful and provides a metric ton of options. However, a lot of them are lying "hidden" like this. Still, kudos to KDE Plasma for having these options be configurable via a GUI, in a more or less logical place.

In the KDE systems settings, go to "File Associations".

From there, you'd be seeing a tree of "known types", go to "inode" and then "directory", you can add a new program by clicking "Add..." in the "General > Application Preference Order" area.

What's happening here is that you're adding a program to handle the "inode/directory" mimetype. Because of that, this change isn't limited to Konsole, but will also affect other programs.

J'ai utilisé LibreWolf et il a bien fonctionné avec Firefox sync. Si je me souvenir bien, il faut activer (permettre) Firefox sync dans les options. Maintenant, j'utilise Floorp. Il, également, bien fonctionne avec Firefox sync.

(Désolé pour mon mauvais français.)


I have used LibreWolf and it works well with Firefox sync. If I am remembering correctly, it must be enabled in the options. Right now, I use Floorp. It also works well with Firefox sync.

(Sorry for my poor French.)

Thanks for the head's up. I've switched to IronFox just earlier.

Getting it into my phone wasn't as straightforward as I expected. I first failed to find it on Fdroid. Then I tried toinstall it via Obtanium, but somehow failed. A bit of more research gave me Fdroid repository link that allowed me to finally install it. Everything after that is a breeze though.

Moving my collections from Mull to IronFox had to be be done manually though (or maybe I just didn't find out a better way to do it), but it wasn't at all painful.

Thanks for the head's up! I'll take a look at IronFox and see if it fits my existing set-up (syncing from Linux/Windows PC to mobile). Again, thanks!

Not who you're asking, but I'll answer nevertheless.

I've jumped from vanilla Firefox, to Librewolf, and now to Floorp. I've also played a bit with Zen. In all of them (except Zen, which I didn't go to the process of connecting my Mozilla account), my Mozilla account connected and synced just fine.

I also no longer use vanilla Firefox mobile, but moved on to Mull. I am able to sync my stuff from Floorp to Mull and back without much trouble.


EDIT:

Thanks to a couple of people, I was informed that Mull is now unmaintained, and that IronFox took its mantle. I've switched to it just earlier now, and syncing works there too!

They certainly exist in Ikea here in the Philippines. I've been there a few months ago and the free pencils and paper tape measures (rulers?) are still there and being used.

I'll add another datapoint. I've had to do some effort removing/disabling OEM bloatware and adware on my Xiaomi phone.

To be fair though, I bought it because it has good specs for its price, and I was already aware of all the bloat and adware that came with it. The first thing I did after unboxing the phone is to just excise all of that shit.

Global version from the Philippines, if you must know.

I am in no way an expert nor a proficient user of ReFind, but I looked at my own configuration and noticed that in the main configuration, the showtools line is commented out. However, when I looked at the configuration file of the theme I was using, there's a showtools line:

# Minimal dark refind theme v.0.2

# Set the name of a subdirectory in which icons are stored.
icons_dir themes/darkmini/icons

# Your background!
#banner themes/darkmini/bg/ubuntu_two.png
banner themes/darkmini/bg/background.png

# Custom images for the selection background.
selection_big   themes/darkmini/selection_big.png
selection_small themes/darkmini/selection_small.png

# Tools
showtools shutdown,reboot,firmware

I suppose then that if you're using a ReFind theme, it might be overriding your base configuration.


Now, this is but an extra, so feel free to ignore this. This is how it looks like (mine has a different background image and list of OS'es):

I suppose you would want a more minimal look like this:

And here's the theme in question, https://github.com/LightAir/darkmini

I hope that helps somehow. Best of luck!


EDIT:

Changed the image to better reflect how my ReFind looks like given the theme and configuration. Added an additional screenshot. Added explanatory text and separation between my main response and additional info.

That loop of config hell is real! It has subsided recently because I got enticed into writing my own widgets. Also, yes to rainbow pastel (tho I'm using gruvbox as a base/reference color theme).

Can't really remember much of how it looked out of the box, since I proceeded to customize it quite heavily. However, though my memory is fuzzy, I remember it looking like a combination of Windows XP and mid 2010's Ubuntu.

Checking with the xfce website, they have this screenshot of one of their latest versions:

KDE has sane defaults when it comes to windows: it opens a window at cursor position and whether or not it's fullscreen or maximized depends on what it is when you last closed the window.

So for example, if the LibreOffice Calc is maximized when I last closed it, the next time I use it, it'd be maximized.

Window rules, however, can be as fairly simple or as complicated as you want it to be.

For example, this is my settings for discord:

I set it to open horizontally and vertically maximized, on any virtual desktop in the ‘Background’ activity (not really something most KDE Plasma users make use of, but I do).

 

Some time ago, someone convinced me to try out Hyprland, and I've been working on this one ever since. It might look minimalistic, but not for the lack of trying.

Bare desktop with a cheatsheet widget on one screen and krun being used on the other.

Bare desktop with a launcher widget on one screen and a calendar widget on the other. The mouse is hovering on the lock desktop icon on the launcher widget sidebar area.

Browser window on one screen and swaync notification center on the other.

Browser window on one screen and on the other window, a terminal emulator, bmon, and htop.


Things used:

 

I've recently updated to Plasma 6.1 and I've loved it so far. However, there's one thing that has made things difficult for me—I can't get to ‘Panel Configuration’ and make changes to my panels.

This screen recording shows me failing to get to the ‘Panel Configuration’ in my top panel (though the same problem exists for all of my panels).

For further context, I use Plasma 6.1 with Wayland on Arch Linux. Some other details from the Plasma Info Center are provided below:

If there's any more information I need to gather in order to resolve this problem or make a bug report, I'd love to know.

 

As the title said, I customized my system according to what I liked. It's probably a mess of features and design elements cobbled together from the OS's I've used (or would like to use).

There's also some features I've customized that is hard to show via screenshots, like mouse gestures to move windows around different screens and virtual desktops.

I don't think I've achieved everything I want here, but it has gone way further than I've imagined it'd go.
