Okay, okay, so now I do also see you all and yep, just enough time to set everything up and here we go. 20,000 three subscribers, let me close this. Okay, now I'm hearing myself, nice, okay and I have a click on a button which is this one, okay. Okay, finally, 20,000 three, that's like a lot, I think. That's decent, I'm totally out of focus, am I? Yes, better, should be. Okay, now this makes a little more sense and thanks everybody. Yeah, I don't usually do live streams at all lately, but yeah, a third, I mean, it's quite an achievement, I'm very happy, so I wanted to do a very quick live stream. Yeah, I know, focus is a bit off, but it's my own focus, I'm trying to do my best here. I just want to do something quick to say thank you to everybody and yeah, my slightly better. Yeah, so wow, wow and I should probably take this occasion to very quickly, actually, I'd be right back, let me do one last thing. Okay, so as I was saying, I think this is a nice time to tell you a couple of things that are happening in the channel, so what things are going, what I'm going to do with the channel, and it's not directly correlated of course to the fact that I just hit 20,000, but you know, it's something that I've been starting to build and lately I've actually kind of been hired as like I do have a job now, which is nice, it's a part time thing, so I can still do all of this, but it does mean that I don't need to rely on the channel, on the income of the channel anymore, and that means I can actually start using the entire T or almost of the channel's income to actually, you know, grow the channel, which means a lot of things, so firstly, you might know that I do have an editor, so hopefully this also means that I'm able to like pay the guy more, which is only fair, and secondly, I started, maybe you see this on my Twitter or something, I started contacting people to like write scripts, right now I contacted three different people, and the cool thing is that if they are able to write me, I don't know, one script every week, I'm overflowing with videos, so right now it's a bit of a mess, you can see that my background isn't exactly what it should be, it doesn't look that good, but I'm still doing stuff in my house, but if I'm able to actually, you know, pay somebody else to do some of the work, writing some scripts, not all of them at all, but yeah, some of them that is going to make actually maintaining the channel much easier and allow me to have more time to do other cool stuff in here, such as me immediately move it away, yeah, so that is my wall, which isn't very stylish, so what I do right now for the video is to have a couple of lights to the left and to the right, one color, different color, yes this is OBS on Willand, no no it's X11 actually not Willand, so I was always seeing one light, another light, and it gives a very nice gradient which I like, it also reflects on my face which is super nice, but it's very flat and a bit simple, so I would like to change that and I do have a couple of plans, so I will get to the questions, just let me finish explaining all of this, I did buy that, let me show you, yeah, I did use it for one video, the Google one, looks good, I like it, but it's okay, I think I can do better, so now if I do have like more funds to do stuff, which I should do, should have, I think I'm gonna buy some cooler stuff for the background for myself, like I could actually start dressing better, I can put my camera a bit further away from me, so you can actually see clothes and stuff, I could start, you know, stuff like that, not be a mess when I do videos, all of that, and thirdly another cool thing is that now OBS does work with Willand, it's pretty neat, it does work, and a third thing I would like to do is to actually have some more equipment for the videos, a better microphone as an example would be a nice thing, this one is a 50 bucks one, I think I can do a bit better than that, and maybe I would like some a secondary camera to do two video feeds at the same time and then cut from one to another, I think that would make the video a bit cooler, stuff like that, so invest on the whole production aspect as well, so this is what I'm going to do to grow the channel, so let's get to the questions, which I see, and when is Katie going to replace its default theme, like its default icon theme, etc. Now of course I don't see the future, I think, but I do not think that Katie is going to replace the default theme Breeze anytime soon, the best we can do is change the name, what we've been doing for a lot of versions now is to improve it over time, not some major design from one day to the next one, but improve it and improve it, we don't see right now a big reason to do a new one from scratch, especially because we can't, it's a lot of work and we cannot just pull one new completely new theme out of Magic Hat, so yeah Breeze is what we get, maybe it's gonna change name, I don't know. You like Manjaro, I do have criticism for Manjaro, I did a video, maybe I did a video about that as well, I honestly don't remember, but yeah I do have criticism and you can check out, yes no, I talked about Manjaro's issues in the what is the best Katie distro, yes right, and you can see Nick's video from the Linux experiment Manjaro or something, he talks about this, it's pretty cool. Is there any plans to get Katie Connects Bluetooth backhand implemented? I have no idea whatsoever, I'm really sorry. Drag and drop through desktop Edge works in Plasma 6, I don't know about that one either, sorry. I don't need to fast over backgrounds, the colored lights on wall background is cool, yeah I mean it's it's good, it's much better compared to what I had one year ago, even just six months ago, it's light higher, light years ahead compared to what I had one year ago, but still I think I can improve, like slowly and surely things can get better, I do have the time and I do have the money apparently, hopefully, so I do think that it does have a bigger impact than what you would think, you would say it's just a background, it's good enough, it's probably quite good already, no trust me it vibes and that matters a lot, like the Google video went really well for a lot of reasons and I do think that one of them is I put a lot of thought into actually the visuals, it's not perfect because it's from above, it should be I side but yeah, tell us about your, tell us about your new job, not today, eventually, it's cool stuff, it's really cool stuff, I haven't checked yet whether and what I can talk about one day. Oxygen comeback, kind of, kind of, there is a not very fault, there's not going to be any oxygen theme out of the box by default, but there's people working on oxygen chew theme and it's cool people, there's like Carl, new nose, cool stuff is happening, if it's ready by February, then might even be installed, just installed, not selected, but at least installed out of the box in kitty plasma, that would be cool, but yeah, right now just, we'll see, new job, it's pretty interesting, yeah, cool stuff, what are your thoughts about on the Steam Deck using Plasma? So where is my Steam Deck? Where, I lost my Steam Deck, it's somewhere, seriously, oh my screen is going to sleep, no, computer don't sleep, yeah sorry about that, I am going to delete this video so quickly as soon as this is done. So here's my Steam Deck, which has been very generously generously gifted from viewer, it also has a nice sticker on the back of it from Revelliace, it's really cool stuff and it's a game changer for me, it's incredibly good and the fact that kitty plasmas on it literally changed my life just to give you a very practical example, so I have to do videos, you know, I have a teleprompter usually to do videos, right now I don't, which is why I'm so rambling, what I need for the teleprompter is a little screen to put underneath the teleprompter and I just use the Steam Deck, it's really convenient, so I just have my Steam Deck over here, just underneath the camera and this is my device that I use with the teleprompter and it only works because it has kitty plasmas on it, which means I can install anything and I mean, wow. And you know, you've seen that the Blue Systems company, I did a video about this last year, they actually hired, they actually were, what's the correct word for it? Valve actually went to Blue Systems and asked for help to them to actually make kitty plasma better, I assume like there's money around that, so that's pretty cool. Today I used Manjaro mainly because it worked with NVIDIA right off the bat. Yeah, sure. Have you tried Mojo, new language? I've seen it multiple times. I don't think it's anything that actually impacts me. I've seen it last time this morning, my friend sent the language to me. Why should I use it? Like I don't do, yes, it's the programming language for all of artificial intelligence. I don't do AI, so I don't really have to use it. You'll get to 100K in no time, hopefully. Hello, Fadingig. Congrats on the 20K, thank you. It's also in big part thanks to you. So in my computer, Kdenion is very unstable, don't use Kdenion. I generally do not recommend Kdenion. Actually, I had my own set of significant issues with Kdenion, just don't use it, said to say that. Fedora Kdenion worked way longer than Kdenion. That's very nice to hear. Too much JavaScript on the job? Yes, there's a lot of JavaScript. I don't like JavaScript. But, you know, it's the word that runs JavaScript apparently. So if possible, can KD fix a few more bugs related to lower-end computers by bringing in some new animation modes. You can just disable animations. That should work. Like I had a pine book, a bit of... I still have a pine book. I used it some time ago. And it had no animations, obviously, because it's very low-end. It was great. Like it ran really well for some standard of running. I mean, it was 100 bucks, the computer. Why is the to-do on line four of your bio section of your website not yet done? Yeah, I know, I know, I know. It's a couple of things. Firstly, I'm lazy. Secondly, I don't remember exactly where that file actually is. Like it's somewhere on my website. I don't remember where. I don't remember the password to the website. It's somewhere. And thirdly, it's kind of fun because every once in a while somebody reminds me that I should update it. And it's fun. Have you tried programming in Rust? And what are your thoughts on this language as a C++ programmer? So firstly, do not call me a C++ programmer. Truth be told, I do a lot of C++ lately. But yes, I am a C++ programmer. I should just accept it. Yeah, I've never used Rust, actually. And it never had a very big appeal to me, because what I do is generally not related to Rust. Like I use a lot of QT, obviously. I do stuff with QT. And it's all C++ there. I don't like working with C++ a lot. So Rust has its own advantages. They don't strictly relate to QT. I don't like using C++. I wouldn't like using Rust either. I did use for a little bit of time go, go lang. That's cool. I wouldn't use it for my own personal projects. I just use Python, to be honest, for everything. Something. What are some of the big issues with Wayland on Plasma right now? So there's actually a list of blockers somewhere. If you search for KDPlasma Wayland blockers, you will actually see a list of all the things that are currently blocking using Wayland as default. Hopefully, all of those are going to be fixed by the time that Plasma 6 is out, or at least most of them. So yeah, but if you need to see all the issues, you can just check that out on top of my head. I don't know. I can tell you that my deal breaker for Wayland on this computer is the support for drawing tablets. Sorry, it's pretty bad. It doesn't work well. So I use a drawing tablet instead of a mouse. So I just don't use Wayland on this computer. Have you thought about adding an option for floating panels to keep the gaps with a full screen window next to it? Sorry if I'm laughing, but a lot of people have asked for it. This comes up at every single live stream I do. And the answer is yes, of course I've thought about it, but it's not happening. I'm really sorry to say that. The reason it's not happening is that I actually put a lot of work into improving the situation with floating panels. So there's our patch, which is almost ready. I'm going to do a bit about that as well soon. But no, I don't want to add that option. What distro are you using right now? So I've got Caddy Neon over there, and right now I've got two computers, little laptop. Caddy Neon big monitor is Kubuntu. Well, it's a Kubuntu focus device. Kubuntu obviously. I've used Caddy Neon for two years without issues. That's great. I don't want to debate that. It's great. That said, I've seen a lot of people having a lot of issues. I had issues myself. That's why yes, I don't recommend it. Do you have OS freedom at the job? I think I do. I should probably check. I don't know actually. Well, I should check probably. Can you tell me the status of trackpad gestures for Wiland? Fully working. 10 out of 10. What are your thoughts on the new Cosmic Desktop? I don't know actually. Like it looks cool as a project. Of course, I kind of have on the back of my mind, why do we need this? We've got GNOME, which is great. We've got Kiri Plasma, which is great. Why another one? I mean, I can understand them. They're doing something cool. I respect them for this. I know it sounds weird, but people like me who have budget laptops mostly prefer a balance between smooth animations and speed. Okay. I'm not sure. I mean, it's a fair request. Probably you do want to have some kind of animation. You can make animations faster. I don't know. I'm not a big expert of this. I do design mostly. So is intelligent auto-eyed of the panel something been worked on or will be worked on? So worked on? No. Nobody is working on intelligent auto-hide right now. Will somebody do that? Maybe. I would like to do that sometime. Will I? I don't know. I've got a lot of things to do, but maybe one day, yes I will. I don't know. What's the status status status on the with laptop? I haven't seen any update literally updates, which is bad news probably because you do need updates to keep up with the latest version of Plasma. That said, I haven't seen updates of Kitty Plasma either because after 5.27 we stopped to work on Plasma 6. It's probably going to be broken on Plasma 6. I haven't checked. So either somebody will port it to Plasma 6 or Kitty Latidock might just end up being a KD Plasma 5 feature that never made it to 6, which would be sad. I thought to subscribe, but you already reached bro. Yeah. Don't worry about that. Not necessary anymore. You can all go away. We're not just kidding. Thanks for the content. Thanks for watching it. It's really fun to do it. WeLand works far better than X11 when it works. Yeah, I generally agree. Will there be a way to remove the extra padding that's added when the float game panel deflutes? Yes, that's what I'm working on right now, like today. Have you learned Swedish yet? I'm not in Sweden anymore. I went back to Italy. I had one year in Sweden for Erasmus. It's over. Back in Italy. No more. And no, I did not learn Swedish. I didn't plan to learn Swedish. I honestly don't think that I could have learned enough Swedish in just one year to be proud of that. I don't know. I just didn't feel like it. When will you graduate? Next year. Sometimes. Next year. Do you use Killian Life for your videos? Yes, Killian Lives. Psyphedotos moved over to KD Plasma. I am not sure what you mean about that. Can you tell us about your script writer status? Yes. I think I mentioned this towards the beginning. I did a form where people could apply through NextCloud. It went really well. I received 13... Maybe somebody knew and I missed it, but should have been 13 entries, which is cool, more than expected. And I did select three of them right now. I wish I could do more, but you know. And yeah, so now people are trying to do stuff. Yes, 13. And if everything goes well, they're going to write scripts and I'm going to give credits for all of this so you can actually know who they are. Soon. There's a lot of cool stuff happening soon. Yeah, I do agree that Willand is not ready for everyone. I don't use Willand on this computer, sadly. I meant Psyphedotos stopped working on Lattedoc and now is working on Plasma. Easy. I think it just took a break. I am not currently aware of him doing work for Plasma. But I mean, maybe I missed that. I don't know. But I'm not as far as I know. How are you today? I'm doing fine. I mean, I just reached quite an ambitious goal. When I'm done with this, I'm going to go out grab a pizza with friends. So as good as can be. What's the strangest thing you've seen somebody do with Plasma? You know, it's hard because I've spent quite some time doing weird stuff with Plasma. So it's hard to think of something that I haven't done. But personally, I have done some very weird stuff like you should catch up if you haven't. You did not see this because it's super old. But I've done a video about CSDs on KD Plasma. That's quite out there in terms of craziness. What smartphone are you using? It's a Redmi Note 10 Pro. Redmi Note 10 Pro, yes. And have you tried using custom ROMs in the past? Yes, I did temporarily switch on the Pixel Experience ROM on this one. Terrible mistake, actually. Big regret. The ROM was kind of useless. The camera needed the original app to work decently. I just didn't like the experience at all. I went back. Now I'm using the stock ROM again. And I lost the ability to do some stuff. And I cannot even ever regain it. Like, you know, using bank. The problem of Linux desktop is the inconsistency in the design of all applications. We're not going to solve it. That's unsolvable. Some applications are made using JDK, some with QT. Is there a way to fix this problem? No. I'm really sorry. It's because the Linux ecosystem is actually pretty big, with a lot of different people having a lot of different opinions and requiring different tools. We are never going to fix that. Are you using vanilla OS NixOS? So that question hurts me a lot because I was supposed to test out vanilla OS 2 beta. I haven't yet, because I have a computer which is not working with Linux, and it should be. No, I'm not using it right now. I'm trying to. NixOS, I don't like it a lot, but vanilla OS much more. Is Plasma on smartphones even progressing? Yes, it is progressing. Maybe not at the pace that you would want to, but yes, it is progressing. Lineage OS is great for custom ROMs. Yes, but you cannot have the stock camera application, and then you have to get like a third-party one. You lose all the compatibility options with the first one. You lose, yes, sorry about that. What was I talking about? I forgot.  Pixel, yeah. Have you ever used Gento? No, and I'm not going to because I don't need Gento. You need to use Google camera. I did, believe me, I did, but it's still not as compatible with the hardware as the original ROM was. You lose camera quality and stuff, so the default camera app is always bad. Yes, but it has more features. It actually can use the hardware better. It depends on what you need to do. As an example, this camera is money. Oh, money. Thank you. This camera is, it should be written somewhere. I don't know. It's 100 megapixels, which is cool, but Google camera only supports 30. I don't know. I guess you don't need more, but what was I doing? Yes, what can we get away with? Why is this distracted? Thanks, everybody. K-Love is awesome. It should be something like Tinder. What's K-Love? What am I missing? Just root your phone and use your stock ROM. I did that. So the thing is, I did that. That's my current status. If I could, I would stop immediately because it creates more problem than what it solves, actually, for me. Because there's all applications constantly complaining about the fact that I rooted them, and I actually have to fight against each application, downloading stuff to actually make them work. Annoying. I don't actually like that. But I mean, I'm me. You can do whatever. I don't need a rooted phone. I need a phone that uses Google Pay. K-Love. Where is K-Love? K-Love is awesome. Yes, I don't see anything. A couple of messages above. If I want to try Kiri, should I use X11 or Willand now? Depends on your hardware. By the way, I didn't miss that. Try Willand. Should be better. If it doesn't work, fall back to X11. Magisk hides stuff. Yes, but not good enough. I do that. Believe me, I do that. Still doesn't work with lots of applications. I have to actually fight to make stuff work. There is any other UX UI rules so that those who develop applications for KD Plasma can guide themselves. We do have the human interface guidelines, which you can find just by googling KD user interface guidelines. Human interface guidelines. That's the guidelines. Just go through them, have fun. Are there major differences between Qt5 to Qt6? Yes. I don't know them on top of my head actually. It should be like a lot of improvements here and there. You can probably refer to the Qt6 change log, which I don't know by heart. But yeah, K-Love for Kiri. Okay, thank you. I missed that. Thank you, Chris. Thank you. Yes, let's have a party. The message underneath says have a party. Thank you, everybody. You rock. Thank you. Thank you. I don't deserve all of this, tune it down a notch. I'm very happy. Are you going to participate in the desktop contest this time? I can't because I'm a judge. I can either be a judge or participate in the contest. I would. I would. That's your pizza covered. Yes, thank you. Will we be seeing more videos in the style of your KD mobile video? I really like that format. I'm really sorry. You do have to remind me which format you're... What do you mean by that format? Because on top of my head, I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you mean showing stuff on the pine phone, as an example? Is that what you mean? Because they didn't quite get what you mean. Is there going to be noticeable breeze theme evolution in Plasma 6? Yes, it's going to be very cool, but this is not the right time to show off just how cool breeze... It's not a revolution. It's still small improvements, but very cool small improvements. Not the right place to show them, but I'm going to talk about that. It's way too soon. The camera sensor must be set to pixel binning by default. I don't know what's that. I understand what you're talking about. Just I don't know what it means. Sorry. Windows is also pretty inconsistent. Yeah, Windows is hella inconsistent, extremely inconsistent. More so the daily driver aspect of the video. Okay, that's interesting. I get to do daily driving stuff if I have hardware to show off the daily driving stuff. I don't think I'm going to do more mobile phone videos for now. I would like to do some computer videos. I'm going to do at least two. I don't know if you're going to find them exciting to be honest. They're not as good as those ones, but it's just not something I get to do a lot. I mostly cover software. Do KD developers have any plans after releasing Plasma 6? No, that's too far ahead in the future. No idea. Maybe somebody has. I don't. I hardly have a plan for the next days, next week. I'm from South Africa. Can I enter the wallpaper competition? Can you shoot me an email? I prefer to answer this. Like, that depends. So shoot me an email. You can find my email in the wallpaper competition or it's just, you know, nicole.venerandi.kd.org. Love from India. You haven't been doing KD videos, which makes me sad. Haven't I? Haven't I? Oh, thank you. Thank you, Kander. Welcome in. Haven't I been doing KD videos? So you're not doing enough KD videos is something that appears every so and so. Thing is, this started as a KD channel. I am a KD developer. I don't want this channel to be a KD channel. I want this channel to be a Linux channel for a variety of reasons. The most obvious of which is Linux has more people around it than KD. So if I want my channel to grow and need to also talk about other stuff, you know, I still cover a lot of KD, I think. I want to start covering other subjects more and more. So that KD is one of the things I talk about. It's surely going to be one thing I talk about very well, I hope, because I know everything that's happening. I am going to deal with all the KD communications, like if I hire scriptwriters, they're probably not going to talk about KD, because I know so much about KD. I'm going to do that. But yeah, there's going to be so much stuff that's not KD in this channel. Colors from the current world papers, the default? No. Developers. I tried. I asked for it. We're not getting it, sadly. Congrats from Ukraine. Hello. No, it kind of hurts to see. I'm really sad for what's happening. And I know it doesn't make any sense. And seeing that doesn't make it any better. But every time I say Ukraine since years ago, it's... But yeah, sorry about that. There's actually this application that I'm using. Sorry if I'm rambling on. It's called Time Planner. It's really good. Works really well. I love it. The developer is actually Ukrainian. And the thing is, every single time he responds to a comment or, you know, responds to a review on the Google Play Store, anything, he always ends the comment with, please support Ukraine. That has hurt broken me. So getting back to KD. Do you think that an integration of complete Tiling Windows system Plasma natively supported with our plugins is a future possibility? I've heard that GNOME might do so. So about GNOME, I've done a video about that. But KD Plasma, I don't know. We kind of have Tiling. It's not auto-tiling. It's just Tiling. So you can tile stuff more easily, but not automatically. As far as tiling stuff automatically, I don't think we're going to see that out of the box by default. Might happen. I don't think so. Is there a chance to show us some early preview of Plasma 6? It's not exciting right now because of still work to do. You can try it. You can actually try it. KD Neon, if you take the unstable, like the most developer version, currently is Plasma 6. So you can just try it out. Actually, do that. Try out Plasma 6, find the bugs, report the bugs so we can make it better. What is your favorite KD wallpaper? I think safe landing is the best. Safe landing is pretty high up there. Totally is. If I had to pick the best one, tough, really tough. I really liked the one in the space, red, blue, seen from above in the space with hexagons, cluster, cluster. I really like cluster. I would say that safe landing and cluster are the best ones. Thank you, another donation. Thank you so much. Not much. Who curses? Not much. I really appreciate it. Greetings from Turkey. Hello. And congrats from Italy. Thank you. I think a video trying out different browsers would be interesting. You know, that's true. Thing is, it's totally a good thing. I'm not good at doing that. That's also why I'm trying to find other people to do some scripting. I don't know anything about browsers. If I start doing stuff which I know nothing about, you are going to notice because it's not going to be good. So I don't know. I'm still kind of trying around. What development stack do KD devs use? What do you mean exactly by what development stack? Changes from developer to developer. If you have a more specific question, I can answer it more specifically. Which distro for two-in-one laptops? I've used GNOME-based, but you didn't like the experience. It was really different between distros. Honestly, as far as you're using KDPLasma, it really shouldn't matter that much. Just try some KDPLasma distribution and if it's bad, go back to GNOME. Because GNOME does touch really well. We do a lot of cool things with touch, but it might not work for everybody. So try KDPLasma out. Regardless of the distribution, see how it works. I ditched KDE after the 4K monitor. Scaling is buggy. Wayland scaling is okay, but Wayland is buggy. It's gotten better. You should sometimes try it out to see how it improves. My desktop crashes more than they can touch. Never crashed actually. Wayland never crashed. For me, I don't use Wayland on my main desktop for different reasons, but on my laptop it's amazing. I've seen people, okay, whilst I do the stream, I also have the laptop and the seed donations coming, people joining, people writing to me. Gonna get to that as well. I love Honeywave. So Honeywave was quite something as a old paper, because it was a K-vermet coming back. Pretty big deal. He did this wallpaper, which has a lot of his style, has a lot of KDPLasma. What I don't like about a wallpaper, which I don't have that. I don't have much time left. As I said, I'm going to take a pizza with friends to celebrate stuff. Serious KDE question. Can somebody please save Lattodoc? No, so it's not try implementing something similar natively. No, that's not going to happen. Lattodoc, the thing is either we find, either somebody finds the money to pay somebody to work on Lattodoc, which could happen or alternatively, somebody finds a lot of volunteer time to keep maintaining Lattodoc. I really hope that somebody, that we actually manage to find somebody who wants to volunteer to maintain it. Personally, I just don't have that time. I'm working on so many different things. I just can't. Kate or Vim? I use Kate. Only neon unstable is Plasma 6. Developer is Plasma 5. Okay, sorry. Sorry, everybody. I messed up. Plasma 6 is only on neon unstable. Developer edition is Plasma 5. Sorry. Hello, Maven. Can you cover the status of pipe wire and wire plumber? I know very little about it. I can do some research though. Yes. I don't know how exciting it is, but sure. I hope that you're getting enough of development YouTube steep end with that money. I'm pitching it what I can. Yeah, as I said at the beginning of the video, I actually kind of got a job. So the personal life is actually much safer now as far as money goes. But it does mean, and that's really cool, that I get to grow the channel a lot thanks to all the donations and such, because I don't need those donations to eat, but I can actually use them to grow the channel, which is better. So yeah, I think that's really cool, even for people who donate. Previously, it was like, I donate to you to make you get some food. Now it's actually, you know, buying more hardware to record better and hiring people to do more stuff. That's got to be cooler. It has to. I'm from Italy. That Ukrainian dude made the best app on her to feel sad for him. Yeah, that's such a good app. As soon as it gets sink between devices, I'm done. I still need that though. Why Katie does not want to include Lattedoc in Katie? No, no, no, no. Lattedoc is part of Katie. I hope that answers it. What is your actual work in Katie? So I mainly do design stuff to PlasmaShall. So floating panels, new overview, and making sure that the panel looks good, that kind of stuff. I do a lot of videos about that. Okay, not a lot, but some videos. Thank you so much, Chris. I will. I will. Thank you so much. And thanks for doing YouTube. That's so weird. Like people thanking me that I'm doing YouTube. I'm having so much fun over here. Let me go. Quick shout out to K-MayMoney. It's great. That's great to hear. It's not kind of my personal use case. Like doesn't fit my use case, but it's great to hear that. Yes, we can name it Chris with a K. It's great to hear that it works for other people. Something curious happens that happens on my laptop. Katie uses 10% more battery than Gnome while doing the same task on the same video player. So I assume that you would open up K Plasma or Gnome and then open the video and just let the video play out and then measure the time after a certain period of time. If that happens and there's such a significant difference in battery, you should start looking with good stuff like power, top, something. I don't remember the name. There's a program that allows you to see what processes are consuming how much power. So you can check why that difference is there. Has there been any inside baseball on the steam deck? Have there been any changes or anything? I'm sorry. I don't speak English natively, so maybe I don't understand the question. What do you mean by inside baseball? Is that some sort of expression which I'm too Italian to understand? What about the new overview? How is it going? It's 3D. It's done. Basically done. I just need some reviews, some testing since it's done. Completed. 100% you're gonna get it. Any plans for floating plasmoids? Yes, we're gonna get it. Plasma 6. I think I can promise that. Will there be a way to reassign the shortcut for drawing on the screen as currently it's only control meta. Shouldn't be that hard to implement. Are we keeping that feature though? Isn't it dying with x11? I don't know, but should be easy to implement. So should be an email. I can just check it very quickly. Sorry, I'm trying the best to answer everything. I know this sounds weird, but wouldn't be better if Plasma had a couple of separate system option programs. One similar to GNOME settings and one like YAST 2 system option programs. Sorry, I do not get what you mean. I thought you meant something like two different system setting applications. That's not what you mean clearly. I don't quite get it. Power top. Yes, nice. Trophy LPS. That's pretty good. Do I watch anime? Yes, I do. What anime do I watch lately? I haven't, but usually I do. I like Monogatari a lot. I like Evangelion. That's pretty good stuff. I like all Miyazaki films. I think we can all agree on that. Otherwise, get out. Anything else I can recommend? No, right now that's the... I can just say that. Why don't you try to make a video about the daily false apps use every day? That's a good idea. I'm going to write it down. Maybe that happens. I don't know. That's a good idea though. Inside baseball just means internal chat details, stuff that only people really into the thing care about. Basically, my understanding of it is that we have Kedi. Kedi is public, transparent. Everybody can get into Kedi. We all see what's going to happen. Valve, if they have to say anything secret, they cannot tell it to Kedi because it would leak immediately. However, my understanding is that there's another company called Blue Systems which helps out with Kedi. My understanding is that Valve went to Blue Systems and there's some kind of relationship there. Again, video about this last year about stuff that David Edmondson talked about. Does anybody in Blue Systems know something that Kedi doesn't? I don't know, but yeah, maybe. But not Kedi, not me. Sadly enough, I'm not able to tell you anything super secret about the Steam Deck. Is there any change of release date? Yes, not date, but month. Plasma 6 is going to be released. I can speak decently. Plasma 6 is going to be released in February. Thank you. Thank you very much. I see a lot of congrats. Do you work full time in Kedi development? No, I don't. I do not work full time in Kedi development. I don't want to either. It would be something very cool to do as part time, but full time. I've got university, I've got my own channel, full time. How does Kedi merge work? Does Kedi get any money out of it? I don't know it by heart. I think we do get some money out of it, but it's totally not a main source of income or a significant source of income for us, I think. But how much money is donated to Kedi should be disclaimed by the site that sells the stuff. Is it possible to use K-Win by itself? Yes, you just start K-Win. The command is K-Win underscore X11 for the X11 version, something for the Wayland one, I don't remember. A video on wire plumber and pipe wire. Didn't I reply already? I think I replied the second time, and I think I said something like, yes, I could do that, but I don't know anything about it. I don't know. Now I replied. So how much has Valve or Blue Systems contributed back to Kedi? So Blue Systems has been contributing a lot to Kedi. There's a lot of people employed by Blue Systems who work on Kedi stuff, so a lot. How much Valve has contributed back to Kedi? I cannot say for certain because it depends on what agreements are. I don't know the agreements, so I don't know. Are you going to review the new Cosmic Desktop once it lands? Yes, what a question. Of course I'm going to do that. I like your smile. Thank you, thank you. February 2024. So it's six months from now, roughly? Five. Five months from now. Just five. Queen underscore Wayland. Yes, nice. It was about browsers the second time. Yes, you're right. Browsers, it was. Sorry, my bad. Do you have an idea on one gestural Cosmic custom is customized? Customizability will be implemented. No, I don't have any idea. I think I'm kind of supposed to be working on it soon. Hopefully, if I get free time, no, if I get time, I will be working on it. Not free, but if I get time, yeah. Oh, super nice that you're drawing. I do have, I actually use a drawing tablet for everything. I don't use a mouse. I use a drawing tablet so much faster. I really have to go now though. If I do actually want to get pizzas, I should probably go. So any plans on our opacity slider? No, we cannot. Yes, this has been asked. We cannot. Okay, so opacity slider? No, we cannot do it. We literally cannot do it due to how we implement themes. So never going to happen. You have to either modify your system files or use a different theme, making the panels visible in the overview. No, I'm honestly, I'm not going to add it as an option because you wouldn't be able to interact with them. And that would be weird. I don't know. I just have to think about it. Maybe. I'm not against it. I could be against. I don't know. Could be something that could be done. Yeah, I go, I go. Thanks everybody again. And 20,000 like, wow, well, that's a lot. Has been fun. Should I delete, should I delete the live stream? It's been a very embarrassing live stream. Thanks everybody. Bye bye.

Hi everyone. This tutorial will take you through the steps of creating a color image from your individual black-and-white fits images. So the fits images or the fits files are the ones that come directly from the telescope after they've gone through the processing pipeline and the color image in this case is made up of the red, the blue and the V filter images. So the red, green, red, green, blue images. So we're going to be using GIMP. GIMP version 2.10 now has support for fits files, which means we can open them in GIMP and we don't need an extra software like FitsLiberator. FitsLiberator, however, provides a lot more functionality than GIMP because it is designed for scaling fits images, but GIMP will do for now. So we're going to go ahead and open these images. So I'm just going to drag and drop them into my dock Mac. Once this pops up, we're just going to go with the default settings. So that's the red one. Maybe the little one red. Open the green one now. There. Green one. Finally, blue. I'm going in the order of red, green, blue, just just because it's easier. You can put it in the order you like. So now the first thing we've got to do is we've got to stretch the image. Right now the data in this image is essentially white as you can see the white dots and black, but we want to get the entire range, the grayscale range going from white to black. So in this case, the first thing we've got to do is I'll just show you why we do this. If you go to levels, so we clicked on, I'll just redo that, click on colors, levels, you notice that the histogram is right towards the left, right? It's smushed right towards the left. And what we need to do is bring it out. So we can control it a bit more. And so what we do is we go to exposure, click on colors, then exposure, and we can bump up the exposure to a high value. We're gonna do too much. Now we're doing all of this visually, right? We're trying to get as much detail as we can without overexposing the white regions. Now it is also dependent on your image, but the most important thing at this stage is just to get enough information out. So once you're happy with the exposure, I was happy with the exposure. I clicked okay. Do it again, color, exposure, bump it up to a high level. I'm just gonna take it up to there and go okay. That's done. The next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna click on color, levels. Now you can see that the histogram is broader and it covers the gamut of the range from white to black. What we're gonna do is we're gonna try and cut off those pixels over there that we don't need. We're making it darker there. Oops, you shouldn't have done that. Now the white, you've got to be very careful because as you make it more white, you lose the white regions. They get overexposed, so you don't want to do that. You want to get as much detail as you can and you want to make the sky as black as possible without losing too much detail. Again, you can't emphasize this enough. This is all visual, right? Click on okay. We apply the same thing to our green image or V filter image. Take the exposure. We bump up the exposure as much as we can, trying not to lose detail over-exposure too much. Click on okay, levels, colors, levels. Now we get the histogram. We cut off the black as much as we can give the sky black. A little bit of detail there. Now as you play with this yourself, you'll get a feel for your own images because every nebula is different. The amount of exposure for every image is different. So while you are playing with different types of objects, you will get a feel for how much to bump up the exposure enough. Okay, that is our blue image. Levels. Okay, so we have now our red, green and blue images. Now we need to combine them into one file. So let's go to our red image. That's our red image. Let's rename this layer to be red. So we are aware of it. Let's take a blue image. So now we'll be green image. Sorry, V, which is our green image. Select all, edit, copy. We go to our red file and go edit, paste. Let's paste it there. We're going to call this visible. Actually, I'll call it green. Hit enter once you type in the name. There we have a green, we have a red, green, and now we go to our blue. Edit. Also, select all, edit, copy and go to our red file over here and we edit, paste. Double-click on that and type in blue and hit enter. Okay, so you have, now you have your three filters or your three images taken in three different filters stacked up on top of each other. Now we're going to color them. So we're going to color them relevant to the name of the image. So here we have the red image. What I tend to do is turn everything off and just turn them on one by one. You can just click the I icon here. Excuse me, turn it on and off. So red, colors. Oh, forgot one step. Most important thing, image mode. See how it's on gray scale? We need to convert that to RGB so that we can actually apply colors. There we go. It's done. So remember image mode RGB. Now we can go click on colors, colorize. So this is the red image. We can click on this colored bar and we're going to put the red up to a hundred, green to zero, blue to zero. Click on okay. Now, actually let's make the hue as one and let's make the lightness negative 0.5. So actually, so I'm going to make it red, hue one, saturation one, and that lightness is negative 0.5. That's for the red one. Now you turn on green, we click on green. We don't need to go to image RGB because the whole image is now made into RGB. Excuse me. And then we click on color, colorize. That's a green image. We click on the color bar. We put green to a hundred, blue to zero, red to zero. Click okay. We leave that as 0.3333 and we make this one negative 0.5. So lightness is negative 0.5. That's our green. Then we turn on the blue, click on blue, colors, colorize, click it here and make that blue one hundred, green zero, red zero. Okay, we leave that as 0.6667, saturation is one and over here we make the lightness negative 0.5. Okay. So now you have your red, green, and blue. What we've got to do is now we've got to allow the light or the color from every layer that's underneath each other to come through. And what we do is we change the transparency mode. Over here in your layers palette, you can see mode. So select blue, click on that, click on mode and select screen. Then green, click on mode and select screen. There we go. You can see that it's a bit green. It's not quite similar to the image I showed you at the start. Here's where we have to manually now adjust the colors for each one to be able to get the color palette we think this image should be. So one rule of thumb when you're doing astronomical images is you want to try to get the sky as black as possible. Right, and there's different ways to do this. Now one way is to change the mixing of each of these colors with levels. Okay, I'm just going to show you that way first. So I've clicked on blue, gone to color and levels. As you can see, I can change my histogram and you can see that this is changing so I can make it a bit bluer. Right, I can make it greener. Now I know for a fact that this is the image which should have a red here and a blue. That's why I'm playing it in such a way that I can get those colors back. Again, whoops, this is completely visual. Okay, I can go to the red colors, levels, and I can do the same thing in the red one. That loses the sky. So once my sky, whoops, was too much. Once my sky is as black as it can be, now depending on how your monitor is calibrated, you will get different tints on your screen, but play with it. You will get a hand of it for your monitor. What you can do now is once you get it to a stage that it's roughly okay, you can go and click on this icon over here, layers menu, I'm going to do it again from here. You can do it either from that icon or you can do it from up here, layer, new from visible. So now it creates a merged layer called visible, combining all of those three. So I'm going to put that up there. There we go. Just drag it on top. I'll turn these off because I don't need them. So our visible layer, now we can actually go into colors and we can play a lot more with this. For example, if we want to bring out a bit more of the reds, we can bump up the saturation a little bit. Oops. Bump the saturation up a bit more. We can still go into levels and we can make the sky darker. We can bring a bit of the vibrancy back, right? We can go to color balance and we can do these manually so we can add more red to the image. Can you see how it's changing? You can split the view so you can actually see how it's changing. We can do that on mid-tones. If you don't like it, just click reset or you can go to shadows. As you can see, it changes that. I can get a bit more blue in there, right? But remember, if you change it, it's going to change it all over the image. So you've got to be very careful when you're doing that or you can change your highlights. And within your highlights, you can make it a bit more green-tinged. There you can see the middle one changes. We don't want that. So you can play with these as much as you want to get roughly the color that is suitable for that image. Now people can take artistic freedom and make it all sorts of colors, but this is what's called the Hubble palette. If your eyes were sensitive to light in these wavelengths, very sensitive to light in these wavelengths and could detect this slight nuances in the colors, you would be able to see this object. That's the foundational thinking behind it. So basically, at this stage, you should have an image like that and then you can go and save your file in whatever format you want. You can save it as a TIFF file or a JPEG file using GIMP. But this is basically where it is. As I said, there's a lot more control. If you think you can make more changes, you can go into these individual layers and make those changes. So that's the basics of it. Feel free to play around and see how it works for you. Thank you.
