  • Konsole is a great terminal emulator and I used it for more then a decade (together with yakuake, which is Konsole anyway), but on my machine (8 years old Thinkpad with integrated Intel GPU) it’s too slow in rendering on a 4k screen. Scrolling too fast in my nvim session makes it stutter.

    Kitty (and I assume it’s other accelerated brethren) is butter smooth when doing the same. I replace yakuake using a second Kitty process and a Kwin script to appear it and disappear it with F12 or another shortcut.






  • Last time I had a PC with an optical drive, I used the built-in features of Dolphin, and using a different software for metadata. If you use KDE, it’s hard to find a good reason to do otherwise. It will usually get metadata from CDDB, but on the other hand for metadata It’s really hard to beat Picard or Beets.

    Beets will also scrape the lyrics and add them to the metadata, beside acousticbrainz goodness, multiple genres from Last.fm, and more. Picard will do most of this as well.
