Was playing it a bit in the morning while it was slow at work, seems fantastic so far!

Generally it’s just through my distro, it’s always occurred since I’ve used KDE unfortunately (since that was one of my first thoughts). This has been across Fedora (and derivatives), Nix, Arch, and Kubuntu.

It would be an alright show… If it didn’t use the Halo name and was written to just be another science fiction/fantasy TV show.

But unfortunately I don’t think the show was ever made for hardcore Halo fans - whether that’s because of the writers or just Paramount going over the writer’s heads I couldn’t say.

No VPN, it’s strange because I haven’t had a problem with any other services that use IP geolocation (which I assume is what KDE uses) - even Gnome’s auto location tool seems to work fine.

Looks fantastic! Although, speaking of the Night Color settings - does anyone know how the location data for the auto night color mode is sourced? It always seems to place me on a different continent…

Hmm, I can’t say I’ve seen that before. However, it might be worthwhile trying to just boot a live ISO of GNOME (or any other DE) just to rule out a KDE issue. Then if that doesn’t replicate the problem, try a live distro of something with a newer version of KDE (such as Fedora 39).

At the very least, that’ll help narrow down where the problem might be coming from!

I posted about this on the KDE community a couple of weeks ago, but Dolphin (their file manager) has a nice trick for archives (zips, tar’s, etc) - in the extract menu, there’s an “Extract, Autodetect Subfolder” button which will:

• If the archive has an inner subfolder (and just that), it will extract this as expected
• If the archive doesn’t have an inner subfolder, and all the files are at the root level, it will create a new folder for you and extract the files there

This way, you don’t end up with files splattered all over say, your downloads folder. Easily one of my favorite features, and is something I wish every File Manager had. It feels like someone had the same pain that I do (and I’m sure plenty others) of extracting something, and regretting it - but then they went as far as to fix the problem for everyone and implemented a feature for it (I’d love to have the knowledge to contribute to KDE someday)!
