Is that Workaround for KDE (xdg-desktop-portal-gnome) needed for all of us?
Cause I don’t experience any lagging when starting programs.
Even Brave browser and Libre Office start as quick as always.
Was it fixed in the meanwhile, or shall I still install that fix?
I myself don’t even have xdg-desktop-portal-gnome or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed.
I’m running Plasma, and the only two I have installed are the generic xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-kde. If you’re running Plasma, then you don’t need any of the others.
Well, it depends on your preferences. If you like the one with the GTK look, then you can keep it. Personally, I prefer the KDE/Plasma look & feel, and I prefer consistency across my desktop.
Only the second one, normally — the description of the first one states that it’s needed for sandboxed applications (which I don’t have), but I found that removing it caused a problem with the second one, and that reinstalling the first one solved that.
We doesn’t know, Preciousss. We doesn’t uses the Pamac GUI. It doesn’t tastes deliciousss.
For quickly looking up on a package, I generally use Octopi, but for installing and/or removing packages, I use pacman, and for AUR packages, I’ll normally use the command-line version of pamac.
