PSA: KDE is broken on Arch Linux. Even with a complete default install, after a random amount of time Dbus server will essentially break, you cant open any programs until reboot/relog.
Exact error message: "Session bus not found\nTo circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)\nexport $(dbus-launch)"
When you're at the point where you post PSAs on Sup Forums I think you've had a bit too much Linux
Nathan Price
most things arent broken
Carter Cox
>using a distro whose developers don't bother to make sane defaults in a stock install full of lennartware Use Korora or Fedora.
Michael Murphy
yep gnome is solid kinda like xfce been using it for weeks - polished, sleek, gets out of you way and comfy, also reliable because wayland and hasnt crashed
GNOME is a set of storage occupying packages from lennartfags to lennartfags.
Xavier Mitchell
well let's be fair, Arch is a distro that uses systemd, so the lennartcancer is already present
Julian Ortiz
so?
Noah Walker
If you're going to use arch why use full kde? Bits and pieces of everything (largely excluding gnome) is how I run my arch laptop (which has been my daily driver for a year)

LXQT + i3-gaps just werks fâm

Literally functions on my device. I installed the "plasma" group package, running the latest 5.10.4 version, nothing that even looks remotely close to your error. It's probably an issue of your hardware.
Hunter Williams
Interesting might try that
Jose Harris
Just use Xfce with Compton. Looks good, is light, compatible and no screen tearing.
Quit being a bitch and trying to emulate Windows' UIs with Linux DEs.
Jackson King
>no screen tearing. wayland
if you gon use compton might as well use lxde
Christopher Ross
Wayland isn't on Xfce, at least not Xubuntu 16.04.

KDE is fucking cancer. I was running it on Debian Stable and jesus christ it was a piece of shit. Laggy, constant pop ups from Kaccessibleapp, applications bar not updating. This was all on a fresh install. Avoid.

Cry more Furrdora shill. Furrdora is shit and it's about time you have to admit it now.

>GNOME is bad >systemd is bad >Red Hat is bad >Fedora is bad I just want to have a nice distro (like arch with AUR or ubuntu with large community), but nooo, all distributions which are good are actually bad! Is it possible to have something nice with Linux?
Christian Bennett
Void is not too bad.
Ayden Davis
Manjaro with Xfce

How? Only 400mb with gnome 3?....
When I use Gnome 3 it takes around 800mb o 1gb idle. While KDE only takes 400~450mb, based KDE.
But I still prefer Gnome 3, something in KDE does not feel right.
So... How did you make Gnome 3 uses less ram?
William White
Enable autologin in Users if you don't switch users (you can still lock it if you need) else gdm runs another gnome-shell for the greeter. There's a bug about it, maybe they'll make it on demand but who knows when, still at least there's this workaround which saves some 100-200MB on my pc. It starts at 440 or something and goes to about 550 or 600 and may go down back to bellow 500 some time.
Elijah Walker
Well I enable autologin always... Any special distro? Debian, Ubuntu, Manjaro?
Eli Morgan
try the slacc
Grayson Gutierrez
oh i also don't have the whole thing (but still most of it)
that 450 is kinda a unicorn but it still happens, mostly it's around 550 or something
Cooper Barnes
That can't be true I've been using KDE on arch since plasma got semi stable and it has been rock solid. I'm not even meming it hasn't crashed a single time in the 7 months that I've been using it. Yes I frequently update arch. The single problem I've had in years was infinality dying. Thats it.
Jaxson Bell
ix.io/w6A this is better than the gist that got popular everywhere
Adam Walker
well it's about 800 now >wondering if it will go down
This. Use Void, Alpine, OpenBSD or even Gentoo (CloverOS)
James Hernandez

Jeremiah Morales
>something broke in linux again and you have to spend countless hours to fix it
Sebastian Scott
KDE is buggy in general, not many people on Sup Forums bother using it these days.
LXQT literally uses the same layout and theme without the bugginess, afterall.

kek that struck me too
Henry Rivera
Cool opinion bro. In my opinion fedora is fine because it "just works" out of the box on my old ass laptop wirh 512mb of ram. It even miraclously plays 720p anime without any problems. I will definitely try it again when i run into any problems on other computers.
Camden Martin
I find most problems had on linux are on laptops with weird drivers for keyboards, wifi, etc.

wew lad, i have zero issues with kde on arch.

i literally just uninstalled evolution, empathy, tracker services and some kind of goa daemon that i dont even touch, i know that gnome is bloated but at least is somewhat possible to make it lightweight, and even this shit os just from playing around with a VM

Grayson Carter
>Time to install Gnome?
If you want a desktop environment, yes, you should have done that from the start.
KDE is slow buggy shit which uses more harddisk space than Windows 10.
On the other hand are you sure you want a full DE ? A window manager is lean mean but will need some tweaking, also you will need to pick and chose your components to mirror the functionality you get 'out of the box' with a DE.

technically you can get rid of eye of gnome (eog) as well. it be very basic though but its a working foundation. gnome-extra is of course, just extra garbage like gedit. with above you'll pull in around ~450mb worth of packages. such as pulse audio. if you really want to use gnome i would advise installing a few packages and setting them up first beforehand like pulse audio and bluez.
