Almost there, almost there. Do I have everything set up? Is everything working? Should be at this point. And at this point I have to turn on the comments, right? Where are your comments? Blablabla, docs, chat. Here you are. Noises. The French guy. I ain't French. I'm not French. I'm Italian. Nice. I think at this point we are ready. I've got even my tablet to check everything out. And I see myself. I don't see the chat though. Okay. Let's start. I hope that lots of people are now listening to me. And hopefully even more will tune in later. So let's get into it. Let's move the comments. Oops. Let's move the comments and let's start answering questions. Hello and welcome. I'm really happy to have you here. And this is indeed the JinkPad. I'm using it as an Android tablet right now. And hopefully soon I will make a video on how this thing works with Android on it and spoiler alert. It's a pretty good tablet with Android. And of course I'm waiting for the whole weird situation with the company doing weird stuff. And as soon as that is over I will do the video and also explain what's happening. But hey, it's a good Android tablet. It's not a good Linux one, but it's a good Android one. So, welcome everybody. I see a lot of hello's in the chat. Hopefully the intro was, I'm not going to say interesting because it wasn't interesting, but less boring than compared to the timer. And let's start actually answering questions. So, I'm an Android developer. Always wanted to contribute with open source. It's hard to start AlpinKD. How hard is to find bugs to be solved? Well, it's not that hard. It also depends on whether you actually use KDE in your daily life or not. If you do use KDE Plasma, well, I'm going to find it hard to believe that you never experience any bug. So usually the first contribution of people are bugs that those people have met themselves. And so that's where people start. Otherwise, there are a lot of junior tasks in bugs.kd.org. There's even a link. I don't remember exactly where, but there's lots of stuff that is like changing a text. My first merge request to KDE Plasma was changing a text that was inside of an application because it was slightly confusing. So it's easy to start. Of course, if you want to do complex things that will require time, but I believe you can do it. And I'm cooking up some interesting stuff to help you. Oh, I forgot to charge the computer. Sorry about that. Yeah, and I'm preparing some stuff to make it easier. I want to do a challenge, but I'll talk about later. There will be prizes. Anyway, is there a KDE distribution with one-to-one gestures? Nope, simply because that's not up to the distribution. It's up to KDE to implement them, KDE, K-Win and K-Win mostly. And they're just not there yet. Hopefully they will be implemented soon. I'm also using GNOME, which has one-to-one gestures. I've used elementary. They're both amazing. And well, what can I say? Hopefully Plasma gets them as soon as possible too. Will you play chess with me? Okay, about chess. I've got an important news. Tomorrow I will be doing about 3 PM GTM Plus One. A live stream with Ken Burnett, who designed most of the wallpapers for KDE Plasma 5.  So if you're interested in chess, tomorrow I will do a lot of playing chess with Ken Burnett. So that's interesting. But not today. Today probably not chess, sorry. What else? Currently GNOME has better Will and support overall. 5.24 version, my improved Will and support for KDE. Yeah, GNOME is pretty good on desktop, but Wayland. But I gotta say that Plasma 5.24 is also very good. I haven't noticed any issue whatsoever while using KDE Plasma on Wayland. And that's big news because usually I have to get back to X when I use Wayland with KDE Plasma. But with the latest version, I'm just using Wayland without any issue whatsoever. Hey, are there things that require JavaScript in KDE? Yeah, almost all of the interface of KDE Plasma is made through also applications, is made using QML. Now QML is a markup language, and any logic implemented in QML is done with JavaScript. So like 90% of my work on KDE Plasma is through JavaScript. And a lot of time I have to fight against the weird JavaScript behaviors. I don't like JavaScript, but yeah, there is JavaScript going on on my mask. I had lost this one. Will you try GNOME 42? Yes. Chess competition. Right now it's just between me and Cambernet, but maybe in the future I will happily do more chess competition if you like them. Is better the Wayland integration or GNOME or Plasma one? Currently I got to say that I didn't notice any difference, any significant difference. I think that GNOME one is slightly more refined because they had it for a bit longer, but Plasma 5.24 Wayland integration is pretty good. Like I didn't notice any issue on either. How works KDE governance? Okay, so I did a video about this, and I think it's an interesting subject, because one would think that, I don't know, you're a company, you've got to have a CEO that takes all of the decisions, except of course that's not how KDE works. There are two different things to KDE, which you need to consider. There is KDE, and there's the KDEv. Two different things. KDE is the community where the people are working on things, and then there's the KDEv, which is the actual non-profit organization that manages the KDE community from a legal point of view. So the KDE community is the community that actually do any work on the software itself, and there's no boss. We just do things. There's maybe maintainers. There's people who know the code really well, and so their opinion is obviously very important, but there's no big boss of KDE. KDEv does have a governor, which is the president of the board, which is currently Alex Poe. Sorry, I forgot how the surname is pronounced, but yeah, you can check it out. But those things are strictly about legal stuff or coordinating with other companies, so they don't directly affect the software development of KDE. So that's shortly how it works. I've done a longer video if you're interested. When can we expect one-to-one touchpad gestures in Plasma? I wish I knew. Look, that's not how it works. There's no timeline, nor do I see the future. If people work on it, then it will happen soon. If people don't work on it, well, it will never happen. Right now, nobody's working on it. Hopefully one day somebody will come and will decide to contribute to KDE by actually implementing the one-to-one gestures. Who knows? Keep in mind that most of us here are volunteers, so it's not like we are paid to do something specific. So if somebody comes and actually implements them soon, that people has to come. Who are the target audience of activities? Me? Apparently it's at least me. I like activities. It's a cool concept that doesn't quite work from a technical point of view. So the idea is, let's say that you've got a computer like this one, which you use for both personal use, at home, and also for professional work, whatever that professional work might be. Like my computer, I use it for studying as a student, but also to actually do all of the streaming stuff. Those are very different separate use cases, and sometimes it would almost be easier if you had two separated computers, one for studying and one for streaming. So when you open the computer for streaming, you've got all the streaming stuff set up, and they don't get in the way, but when you actually need to study, then you go with the other thing, which has all your notes directly into the desktop, and that could be helpful. And the idea of activities is acting as if you were using two different computers, but under the same account. So you need to do streaming, that you log into the streaming activity, and there's all of your streaming software, widgets and stuff. Study, you switch back to study. That's the idea, at least. It doesn't quite work from a technical point of view, because of many reasons, but that's the idea. Do you still use Windows? No. I never use Windows. I haven't used Windows in years. Hmm. Keep in mind, sorry about this, but keep in mind that I'm not amnescent and I only know what I know, and if I skip some particular questions, it might simply be that I have no clue how to answer them, so sorry. Okay, what else? Do you use DigiCam? Actually, no, although I've heard it's a pretty good project, and for my photos, I'm actually using... I'm paying for Google Photos because it has some editing features which are really good, and if I'm using Google Photos anyway, I might just as well use it for everything. But apparently, CSD isn't supported by KD. Why? Okay, let's clear this up. Okay, so CSD is supported by Kwin, the sense that CSD apps should look and behave like normal apps on KD Plasma as well. We don't use CSD, which is different. We do support CSD to the extent that we can, but we don't use them in the application at least. And for that, there are many reasons. I think that the best way to actually read all of the reasons currently is Nate Garham's blog. If you search, let's open up PointiestStick. What's a CSD, I guess? I don't know, somewhere. I don't find it. It was like KD Plasma use CSD, I don't know. I don't see it. Now somewhere in Nate Garham's blog, somebody please post the link, there is two articles explaining why KD Plasma doesn't use CSD. So those are probably the best articles to refer to. What are my thoughts on KD Plasma Mobile? It's a cool project. Now, my personal issue is that I just love Android. Personally, I'm a super big fan of how Android works. So when I think that hopefully in the future we'll be all using KD Plasma Mobile, I'm not really convinced deep down, because deep down I do love Android. So when I try out KD Plasma Mobile, and I have tried it out before, it's all very cool to see what the KD community is able to do. I'm always in this doubt on whether I would use it myself, given the opportunity for my phone. I don't know. If with WayDroid you get full support for Android applications, it could be. Where am I cutting the desktop again? Here. You should see all of the chat now. Nicola, which country are you from? Italy. I'm from Italy. Tifa from the FF7 is in the Italian Senate now. Yes, she just recently got a seat and is now a Parliamenter. And she's actually right now, as I'm speaking, voting in the elections of the President of the Italian Republic. So hopefully she gets, like she does, she picks the correct candidate, which is of course Perosconi. What do you think of Falcon? Which is an interesting question. Well, keep in mind that people, 99% of the people use either like in Linux, 99% of the people use either Firefox or Chromium. And it is cool to have browsers that are made by a certain desktop or a certain community, because they do adapt better to that certain desktop or community projects. However, when it actually comes to having the best browser, it is clear that something like Falcon or whatever else, like whatever browser you're doing, of course, won't work as well as Firefox or Chrome. But that's not really the point. The point is to make, not for Falcon, but if you take Angelfish as an example, which is another KD browser, well, if you're using something on mobile, well, it makes sense to try to make something that really works well, which is adapted to Plasma Mobile, and so you need to make a browser, which is not going to be any better than Firefox or Chrome, because all of the development that those projects got, but it's necessary nonetheless. KD's relationship keeps getting asked by chat every couple of videos, not every couple of videos in each video, like seriously. Do you find this to be a fault with KD? Possibly. Like, we probably need to step up our information to our users regarding that. Could be an area of improvement. If we had a better app development kit, would KD switch to that? Okay, so if tomorrow somebody, let's say, I don't know, Tifa from before, joined a KD project and said, hey, KD people, I have just made, by scratch, an entire toolkit, which is beautiful. It is amazing. It is super fast, and it is completely free and open source. Would KD switch to that? Now, surely it would be tempting, but keep in mind that all of KD's projects rely on KD heavily. A lot of the code of KD is built around KD. So the idea of switching from one toolkit to another means that you would have to rewrite the entire code base of pretty much everything. And that's a bit too much. Think about how much time it took to get a good wayline session. And I think that we would have to rewrite 10 times more than that. So, I mean, probably not, simply because it's not very technically feasible, but maybe, maybe, maybe. Lineage OS. Yeah, I mean, Android or whatever, open source fork of Android is cool. What do you think of menu bars? I'm not a fan of menu bars. I don't like menu bars. I think that the best way to present the user a lot of actions inside of an app is the ribbon that Windows uses. Let's see if I can get some pictures. Windows ribbon interface. The one that they use pretty much everywhere. So this one. What's this one? So the idea is you get an application with a menu bar, but it's not just a menu bar that you click and you see all of the options. You actually see the options underneath divided by actually groups. So you've got home, which has clipboard, font, paragraph. And then each one has the settings inside of it and they're all of different styles depending on what they do. So if this was all inside of a menu bar, I don't know what's this. The styles section wouldn't be as clear because right now you can see the styles. You have a preview, which is cool. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't get it if it was a menu bar. So personally, my vote goes to ribbons, but your mileage might vary. What's my feature you feel not enough Linux or KDE-specific people know about? I just now learned about tags from excerpts after the years of daily use. One feature. One feature that probably... Let me think this one through. I think people should have more respect for... Nah, just kidding. Should consider more window rules. So window rules is a niche functionality in Plasma, but it's so well done, like honestly. It lets you do a lot of stuff and it's honestly very helpful in many use cases. And if you don't know how to use them, I've done a video about them, so check it out. Don't you think that ribbons get too many interface space? I mean, it depends on the application, but usually you do have that space. In most cases, you do have that space. If you just have an unfold of options and you don't require all that space to be used, then of course, ribbon is not the way to go, but then the menu bar isn't either. The menu bar sure is compact, but if you're doing an app that's as complex as it is to require a menu bar, then that's going to take some screen space. It's better to take some space when it's necessary rather than try to be as small as possible and confusing the user. When should touchpad gestures come to KDE according to you? So in my opinion, touchpad gestures should come as soon as possible. So as I've said before, I have no clue when they're coming. It really depends on whether somebody will step in and start implementing them. If nobody comes and nobody implements them, they will never come. That's the sad truth. What do you think about a convergent shell? I'm a big fan of the idea of convergency and the convergent shell in particular, so I do think that it's possible. I do think that we should pursue it, pursue it, pursue it, pursue it. And yeah, we're not really doing that right now. So yeah, but my wish shell as an example, I think does something pretty nice. I like that. So yeah, I like the idea. Which word do you prefer? Programs or apps? Apps, it's much more intuitive to people using technology nowadays. Apps is pretty much the word for anything. So yeah, I can't even use PopOS because elementary OS 1.1.justice is too satisfying. Yeah, I know. I know. 1.1.justice are great. Where are you from? Italy. I'm from Italy. If you personally want to implement any feature, what it would be? If I personally could implement any feature I would like, I would probably go with 1.1.justice and the new overview. Because I mean, I think that's what KDE is most lacking right now, in my opinion. Is the login screen is locked to one day for you too? What is this, an Aiku? Sorry, I didn't understand. I like the customizability of KDE. My girlfriend really likes Macintosh. So I redesigned Plasma to Macintosh. And it's amazing how good it works. Yeah, yeah, I've done that in the past. One time there was this promotional video from KDE PromoShot and they asked me to do one screenshot of Plasma customised to be everything. So I did Windows. I did Macintosh. I did Samsung DeX. It was so funny. And you can get so close, almost indistinguishable. Choose one. Intel or AMD? I don't know. I'm not an expert in CPU. Don't make me draw conclusions from what I don't know. What is your favourite Plasma 5.24 feature? I don't know, Plasma 5.24 doesn't have that much stuff inside of it. I think it's probably good that the fingerprint support has improved. Yeah. Is there any way to invoke the new overview with a button in the panel? Nope, sorry. Maybe some third-party... I mean, if you find a third-party widget that when you click on it... Yeah, it's probably feasible. When you click on such widget, then a shortcut gets applied, which in this case is MetaW. It should be feasible. Search for something that lets you insert case strokes when you click on it on the panel. What laptop are you using right now? It's a XPS 139310 developer edition. Is there an ATA for Plasma 6? Not really, but one year, one year and a half, two years stop. That should be the time frame. Question. Why wasn't I subscribed? I don't know. I don't know. Now is the best time to subscribe to my channel. Go for it. Today I'm a bit tired, so if you see me... Sorry, I'm a bit tired. Does fingerprint support will come on 5.24? The idea is not about fingerprint support, because actually supporting the fingerprint reader on your laptop is not up to KD. That's the work of drivers. But if you do have the supported drivers for your fingerprint reader, then now KD exposes a way to configure from system settings your fingerprint reader. But if it wasn't working before, it won't work now. Just Google if your fingerprint reader is supported. Please don't make right click of KD, like Windows 12.1. With 12, I guess you're meaning 11, but if it was up to me, I would do it. If it was up to me, I would do it. But people in the visual design group aren't as progressive as I am, so... Hi there. Then now if it was already asked, do you recommend KD Neon to daily use KD? No. Generally speaking, no. But if you use it and you're good with it, there's no reason to switch either. Like my girlfriend, which is not tech savvy at all, uses KD Neon. And that's what I picked for her. Because I mean, I'm my developer. If she messes up, I know how to fix it, so I just went with it. But Kubuntu is very good as well. Which distro has the latest and greatest KD desktop? Well, usually speaking, latest and greatest are two words that don't agree with each other. If you want the very latest, it's not going to be very greatest. If you go for a stable release, then it's going to be better.  Because objectively, it's the most updated one almost daily if you go with a very unstable option. Otherwise, I don't think that there's a distro that is particularly good. Fedora is good. Kubuntu is good, as I mentioned. KD Neon is also pretty good as well. I don't see why you wouldn't use it. Manjaro KD, more controversial, potentially good for you. Open Suze. We didn't make like six different distros to then pick one. Do you try installing Arc? Yeah, I've installed Arc multiple times. I'm not a big fan of Arc honestly, not because it's a bad project. It doesn't fit me. I don't see why I would go with Arc when I can just pop up Ubuntu and it works. Different use cases. Which keyboard do you use? I'm using Dvorak. Yeah, I've learned how to use Dvorak. Why use Kubuntu or Ubuntu instead of Fedora? I never said to use Ubuntu or Kubuntu instead of Fedora. I just said that Kubuntu was good. Fedora is also really good and it's up to you to actually decide which one you want to use. Hello Nicola. Hello. Open Suze.  No, sorry, that wasn't intended. Open Suze is good. It was not to say it's bad, absolutely. That was accidental. What is your favorite frequently asked question? Probably the one about corners bug, but please don't ask it again. Please. Is there any part of KDE that you think is too difficult for new users? That's interesting. That is too difficult for new users. What does that mean really? I would say like settings, but it's a bit of a weak answer. Like settings aren't that bad, but if you start going through all of them, it might be a bit tough. But I think the situation is improving fast. I didn't ask for the keyboard layout. I didn't ask which keyboard to use as in the real keyboard. Sorry, sorry. I'm using my laptop's keyboard. Did you see that? Was that visible? Hopefully yes. Honestly, the XPS keyboard is fine. I don't see why I should buy an external one. Do you think the Steam Deck will make Linux gaming better? Oh, that's for sure. No doubt. How much time do you spend every week for KDE development? You know what? I'm going to show you. That's a good question. How much time do I spend each week for KDE development? Let me show you. Now the video might die off because I'm closing the app. No. Come back. Okay. If my face disappeared, don't worry. It will get back. If you go here, actually here and here, and the calendar, and we see last week as an example. Also, this is on my Twitter, so you can check that out. There is KDE, which is this one. Last week I went with four hours and nine minutes weekly. That's not much, but you know. We can also get more detailed data from here, KDE week. So you can see this is the history. I wish I could contribute more regularly, but time is time and notification. Okay, let's get back to the video. Where is it? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Hello. Now you should start seeing me again. Yes. Nice. What app is that for Android mirroring? I did a video about this. Go check out my channel. And the video is called like three ways to connect to your Android device. And it talks about that, but also two other ways. So go check it out. Who do I ask on KDE why they have vendetta against smaller app icons? We've got no vendetta against smaller app icons. What do you mean? Can you elaborate on that? Hey, Nicola. Do you think that working some sort of UTF-8 like standard for icons in collab with GNOME is some viable cause to improve them inconsistency? That's a good question. There is a standard already. If you're talking about improving it, I'm not the right person to ask. You should ask. I don't know how Davies may be. I don't know. Sorry. There is some standard. Your English is very good. Thanks. I'm trying to improve. Clover spotted. Yeah, I use Clover. I don't browse fortune much, but when I do, I use Clover. Do you want to get banned again?  So stop. One person after watching my last live said that I should take some people that would become moderators for the chat. I would do that, but I haven't yet looked into the technical details on how to do that. So if you're interested in a moderation position on my channel, then we can try to sort it out. You should try Corbax. I don't know. I'm good with Clover. For example, in Krita, you can change the size of pretty much everything but the icons. You can only make them bigger. Okay. I don't know a lot about this. Yeah, I'm probably not competent enough to answer this question. There is some settings about like icon sizes, but I don't know. Sorry. Do you currently have wedroid installed? Yes, I do. I do have wedroid. Like if I search for telegram, I have telegram desktop and then telegram, which is then droid up with wedroid. Then another telegram desktop because it's broken. Why not? Do you believe that new desktop environments are good or they just fragment in bad way with unpolished software that new user can step on and have bad feelings about Linux? So let's talk about this. It's an interesting one. I'm not as... I do think that except for kitty, plasma, gnome, elementary, all the other desktops are a bit more niche. And generally speaking, I would prefer if there was more collaboration with the three desktops I talked about instead of fragmentation. But at the same time, I do understand them. And sometimes I wish that there was some desktop actually trying to do new stuff, like really new stuff. So my idea is it's legitimate to want to be desktop, even a niche one, which maybe nobody uses, but it's still a good idea to have a desktop if it tries to be somewhat like original. But if you have a desktop, that's exactly like another one. In that case, I would prefer if there was collaboration instead of fragmentation. That's my idea. New desktop environments. So yeah, there are a lot of forks of gnome. Generally speaking, I would prefer generally speaking if those forks actually contributed to gnome more. But there are also desktops that are not forks of gnome that I don't fully understand. I don't know LXQD as an example. If one person like did like Popeyes, if Popeyes decides to do their own desktop and they do something very original, then I am all for it, but we'll have to wait and see. Why did you switch to gnome? Well, I did an entire video talking about that. So go check out KD Davopers, which has the gnome video and I will explain it throughoutly. What distro are you running? The one that comes pre-installed on this computer, which is Ubuntu. What do you think of System76's upcoming Rust-based DE? As I said, if it is something very original, then let's go for it. Otherwise, I wish that they just contributed to an existing desktop. gnome doesn't want contribution if it doesn't follow its vision. Now, check this out. KD Plasma doesn't want contribution if it doesn't follow their vision either. Just like any project is not going to accept a merge request if it goes against its values. I don't know what do you expect exactly? One person implements something and so they're like, oh, yeah, let's do this. It's against our values, but let's do this anyway. No, that's not how it works. Now, the idea is trying to get together and do a product that, even though you disagree with some of the values, is still a good compromise. And I think that gnome is no worse than KD Plasma. Doing this, they have a much more specific view of what a desktop should be compared to KD Plasma. And sometimes that's good. Through, only, throughout, through, yeah, thank you. Through, or, thoroughly, thoroughly. Okay. Are you using a green screen? Let me show you. This is me. And now, this is a green screen. Hello, green screen. Now it's me again. And it's falling. Sorry about this. My camera keeps on falling. Did you earn some money in the last days with YouTube? Is there any people link for support? Let me answer this nicely. Okay, so, yes, I did. If you want to support me, you can go into any video of my channel, except this one, as always. I don't put people links in, but if you take this one as an example, underneath here, you get the people link, which is people.me slash NicolaVe, and you can send some donation, and that, of course, makes me happy. In general, yes, I did receive money, and I'm not... I think that I owe you to also show you how much do I earn. This is the graph, and I mean just take a screenshot of it, and then I'll go forward with the video. I showed you the graph already, like, in the academy talk, so yeah. Will you do a setup tour? Not a bad idea. Let me write this down somewhere. No, I don't remember it. A setup tour. I like it. The Ariyaman writes help me. Sorry, I must have missed some of your messages. Okay, I tried installing KD in Arc, but I saw that the taskbar and half of the desktop didn't load. My mouse is disappeared. Well... Okay, let me start with the bad answer first, and then we go into the good answer. The bad answer is that you shouldn't be using Arc if you can't install things on it. The good answer is that you're probably missing some packages. Check out that you have, well, of course, Plasma Desktop, K-Win, Plasma Workspace, the Plasma Frameworks, and at least that. Usually, there should be in the package... If you follow the Arc Linux guide, it's pretty good. You shouldn't have any issues. If you still have some bugs, try to, I don't know, make a screenshot and send it to me so I can try to help. And what else? I don't know. It really depends on what exactly is the issue. If you follow the guide thoroughly, you shouldn't have them, but... Arc is pronounced like Arch, not Arc. No, no, come on. It's Arc, no. Arch Linux. Ah, okay. Okay, I'm using VirtualBox. It should still work. I can install the whole package. I only have the terminal window with the wallpaper. I don't know, check out, yeah, Plasma Shell and check out a Ruralog. Have you considered visiting a reporting from the Linux app summit in Ruralrator this April? Yes, I've considered it. If I have time in April, I will be very happy to go there.  Will this move be shipped by default in future releases? No, not really. Especially given that it's in most, like, it will probably get easier to install. And in most distribution, it will be just like installing a package. So I don't think it will get by default installed by default. What are you using to track your time spent or projects? I use a focus matter, which is not open source, but it's pretty good. I pay for it. And I also use Uabitz, which is open source. What languages do you know except English and Italian and none? Python? Python, a bit of QML, but none. You're not doing enough questions. I'm losing questions. Do you think that the Steam Deck is a game changer to Linux? It's not a game changer, but it's great news. Like, it's amazing news. I mean, more games working on Linux is more people using Linux, hopefully. Now, a game changer is a bit too much, especially if the user actually doesn't see Linux in most of that. If you're using the Steam Deck, you only see, like, Linux if you connect it to a monitor, which is going to happen. And it's amazing. Many people will use Steam Deck without knowing about Linux, either. So it's not like the game changer, but still amazing. It's amazing. Do you agree that the Steam Deck is using KD? Yeah. Do you agree the Steam Deck using KD? Yeah, yeah. I don't know what's the question, but the answer is yes. Come on, do more questions. There's not enough. I know I lost some, but, you know, that's how it goes. Have you ever used a tiling window manager instead of full desktop? No, never, actually. I never felt the need to, because I do, and I'm a person that sure likes to customise stuff, but I also like to use stuff that's already, like, working out of the box, and Ubuntu works out of the box. KD Plasma works out of the box. Why should I use a tiling DE? I've used a tiling script for KD Plasma, sure. But a tiling window manager, why? What got you started to choose KDE as a project to contribute? Well, it was my favourite project, honestly. I've used many open source projects, and KD Plasma is my favourite one. That's as simple as that. I love it. Classic Italian question. Pasta or pizza? Pizza. Pasta is a strong contender, but pizza is just on a whole other level. How do you agree or disagree with a project using your open source software? Yeah, it's a bit of a confusing question. Yeah, of course you agree. Like, you're doing open source software, and people use it, and you're happy. Is Qtefish based off KD? At least, yes. At least KDE K-Win. I don't know how much of Plasma, but surely at least K-Win. Has Valve talked with anyone at KDE or made contribution to KDE since they're using it? Yeah, they have. Don't worry. We even have developers who have the Steam Deck already through to test that it actually works and stuff. Niccolò, why always any custom window decoration other than Breeze make the Plasma so laggy? Because third-party window decorations are using probably a more inefficient way to draw, which is probably common. I think that the default decoration is C++. Probably Aurora or how it's pronounced, which is the actual project that manages third-party window decorations is not as performant as Breeze is. So you're always losing something if you're using a third-party theme, unless it's the Plasma theme. The Plasma theme is just as good. What is your favorite font? Do you want the Steam Deck to have Android apps? I mean, why not? We've got way droid. It can have Android apps. Why shouldn't it have them? Pineapple pizza. Pineapple on pizza. How do I ban this guy? Where is the ban button? Still broken. Okay, you're safe, but don't ask that again. Classic Italian question or Italian? Yes. Kiri has a lack of simplicity. Yeah, I understand this. It is true to some extent, but keep in mind that the default, we always try to keep the default as simple as possible. If you don't go into, I don't know, Uplet settings or certain settings in the system settings, then Kiri Plasma is actually going to be not that complex. By default, you have the panel with what you would expect and nothing more really. The assistant tray, the show desktop button, the task manager and kickoff, and that's about it. I mean, of course, the clock. And applications are not that complex either, especially the new ones. If you go into full settings and want to change stuff, well, yeah, it will lack simplicity, obviously. Also some context menus, but we are improving that. We are working to improve that. So yeah, I think Breeze is super underrated. It is my favorite theme along with Chrome OS. I think Breeze is pretty good, especially after the redesign. So yeah, I can't disagree with you. Are these ideas or plans to make using different WMS in Plasma more supported and or intended? I have a friend who act as Plasma to use Xmonad. It's not a hack. I think it's supposed to somewhat work, but I don't know. There's no plan to make it work even better. I think it works now as it should be. I don't think there's any plan to improve it significantly. Why am I not seeing any new comment? Come on, write to me. Oh, is this stuck? Classic Italian question. Why do you feel holds back certain users from using KD? Maybe the feeling of complexity. It's very normal for a user to be scared of complexity, especially if it's in a new product. So if you're using a new product, you're already a bit scared. If it's complex, it's even worse, which is why we're trying to make Plasma simple by default to make sure that everybody can simply use it without feeling any worry. But of course, KD Plasma is incredibly customizable, and you can do a lot of stuff with it. So powerful when useful is going to impact somehow the people actually starting to use KD Plasma. Why is KD Settings available on the GNOME Store? Oh, I have no clue whatsoever. That's a good question, though. Make a bug report, I guess. I don't know if to KD to GNOME at this point. Okay, lots of questions. Let's try to go through them. When will the year of Linux desktop come? Next year. Totally next year. What is KuriGami? I heard it several times and me confused. Okay, KuriGami, which you can also find at KuriGami KD, is the framework. So I think that helps you build applications. And the idea is that you make application, like as an example, a discoverer, but also a good part of system settings is done through KuriGami. And the good thing about this is that you can... Those apps are convergent, so you can use them on your... They're going to use touch screens. It's going to be supported, but also on phones. It's very nice to use them. Oh, this screenshot is old. But yeah, it's a framework to help you build applications that are modern and that work both on laptop and phone. That's the idea, or I don't know, tablet. Is there any plan to make the performance better for custom window decoration? Not explicitly, but maybe in the future that will happen. I can't promise it though. Why next year? I was just kidding. I was just kidding. It was a joke. It's never coming as... If the Linux year comes, it's going to be slow. It takes several decades. How is communication done between KDI developers? Do you have regular meetings? No, actually, we mostly talk about... talk through KDI chats, either in Telegram or Matrix. That's about it. We do have some meetings, but not too many of them. It's mostly all through chats. Is GNOME official? Yeah. Yeah, it's totally official. Totally. What browser did you use? In this case, I'm using Chrome, because Firefox refuses to startup, but yeah, I usually use Firefox. I always thought KDI was heavyweight until I actually tried it. Yeah. KDI Plasma is not very heavyweight, so good job on that. Liba Dwighta looks awful on Plasma. Is there any workaround and will it be fixed? This question should be redirected to the JTK Plasma Breeze JTK C++ theme, so I have no clue whatsoever. Sorry. Not a question, but thanks for the KDI theme made the default theme with light, dark options and great uniform appearance between QT and JTK. We try our best. Chrome. Why not Chromium? Chrome was pre-installed. Sure, I could go on and install Chromium, but honestly, I don't care. Five Linux apps which you use the most. I might go with OBS. I use OBS daily. Inkscape, I really like Inkscape, and then probably the one that you will explore, like Dolphin for the files. GwentView is pretty good to see my images. One more. What else? One application that I use a lot. Firefox, obviously Firefox. You are skipping a lot of questions. Well, you're making a lot of them and trying my best, but you know, do you use Vim or Naive Vim? I actually use Nano. I use Nano. Do you believe that focusing too much in mobile compatibility, like GNOME, even though it will probably will not use too much, can hurt the desktop focus? No, not at all. And it's not about mobile compatibility, it's about convergency even for, I don't know, touchscreen computers. I do have a touchscreen, and it's very nice that I can use gestures. Like this thing I'm doing, I'm doing it with a gesture, and you have to support that. You can't just say, all of touchscreen laptops you computer just don't worry about touchscreen, don't use it. Five Linux apps which you use the most, I already replied to that. Nano, why not just use Kate at that point? I know sometimes I need to edit something really quickly, but of course 99% of the time I'm on Kate. Obviously. How does Discover sort its search results? It doesn't seem to have any very good default sort order. I don't know, you have to ask, I don't know, the VVG probably. I don't know by heart, sorry. Let's see if I skipped some questions. Did you count how many questions you have answered? No, I don't count them, I just go with the answer, why not? Has Katie dropped putting Katie, putting K on every application? Yes, informally yes, but some people still do it, and sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't happen, it's fine other way. Why Canadian ships as Snap? You could ask the Canadian developer this one, sorry. I don't know, I remember having this discussion, but it was years ago, I don't remember anymore. Do you even lift, bro? Yeah, yeah. Thoughts on Yakuake? I used to use Yakuake so much and now I just don't use it anymore. Sad. I should probably go back to Yakuake, it was such a cool idea. Yeah, I like the idea of Yakuake. Are you still using GNOME? Yes, I'm still using GNOME. As you can see, this is GNOME. What is your favorite terminal? Console. I thought about switching to the VORJA keyboard layout before, but the idea of having to relearn my VIM muscle memory is terrifying. You have to relearn everything, so at this point you can also relearn VIM anyway. It will take, I don't know, one year, but I think it's worth it. Are there any problems for KDE since QT changed their licensing model? No, we're fine. Are you a computer science student? No, I'm actually studying math. Mathematics. Yakuake is so broken on Wayland. I didn't know that. Hopefully it got fixed, but I didn't even know it was broken, so I can't give you any important insight. Sorry. Please review OpenSUSE Thumbelweed KDE. You know, I'm not an expert on distros, so I don't think it would make for a good video. If I try to review something that I'm not any competent in, it wouldn't be interesting for the users either. What advantages does the VORJAC have? It's much easier to type, like really. I really like to type on a VORJAC keyboard. I've installed the sound input and output device and it works. I'm not sure if you can see it, but it's up here. It's very nice. It works. Any plans to put Blur transparency slider for panels? No, and there's a reason. Blur, you can select the Blur radius. There is a slider for the Blur radius. Transparency, we can't actually do anything The amount of transparency is chosen by the Plasma theme. The Plasma theme is SVG and we can't really edit the SVG to change the transparency. So we just need to use the transparency from the Plasma theme as is. At least you can switch back to opaque because the Plasma theme also offers an opaque version, but sorry. It's just impossible to implement a slider for transparency. Maybe in the future of Plasma 6, I don't know. Calculus was one of the harder parts of my degree. Oh, don't tell me. I'm studying calculus right now. Like I'm a second year and I'm still trying to pass calculus one. It's so hard. Although I love algebra, I love geometry. Calculus is just, I don't know. I can't, but I understand it. But not as good as math measure should. Have you ever used Blender? Yes a bit, but I'm no expert. Any plan to implement Super, Plasma, scroll to change desktop? There's already more scroll to change. Ah, you mean anywhere. Not that I'm aware of, but keep in mind that you can scroll to change desktop, so there's at least that. Do you like physics as a subject? No. I prefer math. I prefer pure math. I don't like physics that much. Calculus 2 was the real killer. I've also studied calculus 2 even though I didn't pass calculus 1 yet, but calculus 2 was actually easier on me. Maybe I already knew how university worked, but it was much easier to study for calculus to compare to one.  I don't spend much time trying to make them look good. Advanced math or basic math? There's no such thing, such division in Italian university. There is just math. Maybe there's applied math or advanced math in the future, but for the second year it's math. I want to learn Kurogami. Where should I start? You go to the documentation of Kurogami, which is this one, and there is Learn. There's a very long guide explaining all of the things and you go through all of it. In my country, we have to choose advanced or basic. Probably my university degree is corresponds to advanced mathematics. Probably. Once you pass calculus 1 everything is easier. Hopefully. I've done so many other accents. I have passed Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry 1, and Linear Algebra 1. And I'm still stuck at calculus 1 though. And then I have to give statistics and physics. So, you need to excuse me a second. I need to do a little short break because I need to go to the bathroom. We'll be back in two minutes. I'll be back, sorry. Have fun. Guess who's back. Back again. What were you talking about in chat? G-edit with Solaris theme. Yeah, you got it right. No ketchup on the spaghetti. You don't pour ketchup on the spaghetti. Like, I've seen people doing that in front of me in Sweden. And I was like, no. Stop.  Please don't ever do that. It's back, it's back. Let's see. Let's see. Let me do a bit of other funny stuff. Let me open up another. No, sorry. I want another Chrome window. What was it? Control click? No. Shift click? No. Ah, come on. Let's drag and drop. This works. I want to see my comments. So please stay here. What is it again? Come on, I can do this. I can do this. Central click? No. Obvious studio. Show details. No.  Come on, there was an option. Stay above. Always on top, like this. Okay, this works. I want to go through some posts from Kitty subreddit. Just for fun. I think it would be funny. So let me open up. I can do this. Azora can do this. Why don't you... Finally. Like this. Nice.  Come on. Come on. Why don't you resize? Okay. This is as good as I can make it. As I was saying let's go see a couple of posts from Kitty. The super popular posts. Top. I'm still reading comments, so feel free to ask me anything. Top from all the time. I'm wondering what's the most interesting posts. Being chilling. Yeah. Do you love China? I do not. Sorry. I do not love China. What is your video card? Some intel. Integrated stuff. Kitty connect meme.  Go back. Kitty connect is a cool hub though. One time I was receiving a call and it was from the other room and I was watching Monogatari and then Monogatari stopped and it was like you're receiving a phone call. It's so cool. Those little things that actually work. What's your favorite Ghibli movie? The Wind Rises. Oh this thing. The motto thing. I'm not going to play chess. Maybe later. Maybe later. You know the simple by default powerful when needed thing was so annoying. I don't think that they did this on purpose. I don't think that it was on purpose. Other developers disagree. I think this was an honest accident. A very suspicious one but still I think it was an accident. I wish that Microsoft had more you know attention like if you Google a motto and you find that it's another projects uses already I wish that Microsoft just avoided to use it it's so annoying. But I don't think it was on purpose. Have you ever made a JDK commit? No never. I don't know if we focused a bit more on good design we do focus on good design. Windows 11 did this thing of completely redesigning stuff. I have some disagreement with the direction Windows 11 went with but still I don't think it's a better idea for us either to redesign stuff which is why we're doing it. Oh yes the wobbliness. The wobbliness one is fun. This wobbly effect was so nice when I first used it but nowadays it's really like old and the fact that you can go and completely make it wobbly and it actually completely it's completely broken if you do that it's so funny. Just look at here. Beautiful. Just beautiful. The only DE that can't use that motto is GNOME. Simple by choice. Tell me that as you spent the last two nights troubleshooting XML I think that's unfair to GNOME. I think like it's surely a different philosophy but I don't think it's a bad one. Watching this instead of doing my homework now that's bad. Do your homework. I should be doing my homework too but do your homework first. Stuck on a defined integral now. Share the integral. If you share the integral I will try to solve it in camera. Very bad experience with KDE. I'm sorry. We always try to be as good as possible but sometimes just a suggestion. Do you have any knowledge predictions regarding hypothetical release of KDE 6? What would it be like? What kind of design change would it would need to undergo to be named a new release? Okay so I've done a video about this. Go check out the video that I've done which is called How do we know Plasma 6 is coming? And the reason for that is not that there is a significant design change but that Qt switched from being Qt 6 to Qt 5 to Qt 6 and when Qt changes version, Qt does too. So there will be Qt Plasma 6 and it will be a change mostly in the APIs. As far as Plasma goes itself from the design point of view much like almost everything won't change. If there is any significant change it won't be too much stuff. Maybe the theming system but in general Plasma 6 is about improving the API, improving the things that you don't know about that are actually necessary to make sure that everything works. Is there any plans to add a screen share option in KDE Connect? I don't think it's... it's not possible sadly it requires Qt... sorry ADB debugging and KDE Connect cannot turn on ADB debugging by itself so it's not possible. Okay so what's this suggestion? So you're suggesting to move do not disturb where exactly or... no I don't like it. Do not disturb or... but yeah surely the size and places of the notification thing could be improved somewhat I can agree on that. GNOME is working on a new system tray is KDE going to support it? KDE is unrelated GNOME is working on a new way to show the system tray. KDE Plasma already supports the system tray so there shouldn't be any change necessary to KDE Plasma to actually change anything. If there is something to change of course then I'll just go with it. console looks cool like the name console is so good why would you ever change it? console I'm a bit wary of people trying to do desktop environments comparison. What exactly do you want to compare? It doesn't work like that. There are all different things with different ideas try to compare them based on objective values and I guess RAM consumption stuff like that but I've seen this chart I've downloaded it. Please do not swear. Now it's not allowed I will open the chat and ban you. They meant if KDE would support whatever new notification library that GNOME comes up with I don't know it really depends on what they come up with honestly. No clue no clue Do you also feel like animation in GNOME feel kind of smoother? Actually no sometimes it's GNOME most lacking for me like right now a couple of frames were dropped and this animation is so not smooth. In general I think Plasma animations are as smooth. Depends on the hardware though. You do it open source or getting paid as a creative wait You can be paid to do open source they're not mutually exclusive I'm not paid I'm not paid but you can be paid and work on open source. But I do as a volunteer that's the word you're searching for So yeah surely consider donation again it's paypal what was it paypal.me slash Nicolave and it's the this and yeah donations Is Plasma big screen available on x86? Yes you can use it wherever really as far as I know at least I don't know I'm not sold on this idea like copy windows 11 then it doesn't end up looking as good as windows 11 is like windows 11 looks better than this screenshot so I wouldn't attempt to copy it like this there's ways to copy it and it looks nice so linux is using kdplasma and he's not happy about it Is Wayland the feature of linux? Yeah I think it's pretty clear that everybody is switching to Wayland sooner or later. Nicolaw you can get cancelled for seeing to copy windows 11 I just said not to copy windows 11 that was the point windows 11 looks horrible no the designer that did windows 11 ain't stupid maybe you don't like it that's fair but the design is not bad linux is using kd like a six years old no he's using it like a normal user you expect everybody to be a power user of course not he's using it as a normal person I've talked about his experience go see the video do you only work on the plasma desktop or other kd you also don't work for you also work for what's that the question I don't know I mostly work on plasma desktop, plasma workspace and plasma frameworks maybe a tiny bit ok win on some effects but mostly mostly the rest of yeah. Kubuntu is a good first distro I don't have anything against Kubuntu how long have I been streaming one hour and a half I still have time if you're interested that is if you're interested in listening to me if you don't go away I'll take that as a yes this is blue ocean I've used this wallpaper for a lot and then of course there's the clone of the windows 11 this is the windows 11 menu button plasma and of course the windows 11 menu looks better because you don't just copy it just works you have to do a custom theme as well and this one has two dark shadows on the panel as an example and I don't do any live coding mostly because it's super boring it's very boring if I do live coding then I need to know exactly what I'm supposed to do already and so it's a bit less boring but usually I just do videos on what I've worked on live coding is generally not as interesting for this channel as it could be Firefox also does this thing of doing the context menu with the buttons at the top and it works Firefox does it in a good way what do you think about Go and Rust? Go is pretty interesting I've used it Rust I never used it and I don't know but Go is interesting I would use Go for projects what's your opinion or snaps I don't like that the server side is so closed down and I'm not a fan I gotta say not a fan these launcher mockups looked so good I remember seeing this it is by Flipwise Nino Storvald say that it would rather die in a highland rather than making a good UI he is your opposite I mean each person does their own thing so I would never write a kernel I wouldn't be able to I wouldn't be interested in it I do like doing UI so yeah thanks for Kiri my pleasure I'm gonna take all of the credit of Kiri it's all thanks to me it's all thanks to me surely the only thing I don't like about Kiri is a Konadi a Konadi was a cool concept it doesn't quite work though one of the worst thing we did for a Konadi probably is to give it a name lightly is a cool project I like lightly I've used lightly for quite some time it's a nice project thanks for being the public face of Kiri oh thank you for for that and netgram is also very active in promoting Kiri Plasma to the outside world I think but yeah we're writing the panel I'm not like super super central to Kiri but I try my best Windows 11 this was before Windows 11 yeah this mocap has some issues I see some issues in this setup first of all this hole and it's not actually floating is the picture cropped no it's not cropped okay and then there is the Plasma logo like hidden the colors are good though I like the colors I prefer flatpacks yeah generally speaking flatpacks how much power does QTE as a company have over Kiri? none honestly none thank you jet how scuffle the old it looked like it is from 2005 yeah the old Kiri logo was old but we have a new one it's pretty good so if QTE were to die where will Kiri Plasma go it will still use QTE like QTE cannot disappear even if QTE fails the code will still be there so people would still use QTE and maybe they would like fork it rebrand it but it won't disappear anytime soon oh this is a post by me GNOME and Kiri deepen their commitment to work together and unveil GNOME a new desktop that brings users the best of both worlds this was like so good I remember doing this I totally remember doing this it was so funny and I was like part of the team that did this joke and one of the best times I loved it third of on trinity I don't get the point of trinity I really don't get the point of trinity sorry I prefer just Plasma why do people still think QTE is proprietary yeah lots of people think that that's still a bit of tweeting who's tweeting to me what's this gift why are people replying with Stalmang okay I look back at a code I wrote a year ago and cringe makes me afraid to do poor requests I might be posting spaghetti code without realizing don't worry if you post spaghetti code and it's bad two things will happen one of two things will happen either people will tell you look this is spaghetti code and all is fine because if it's spaghetti code then people will tell you or people won't tell you and it's the fault of the reviewer like if you do a merge request and that merge request is bad and it still gets accepted and merged it's not your fault even if it's bad you try your best but it's also the fault of the reviewer in theory everything should be reviewed before merged so yeah don't worry about spaghetti code people will scream at you I have done spaghetti code in the past and luckily people did accept some of my spaghetti code and now I'm trying to cut it out but you know that sort of things happen don't worry bye bye you can ask whatever you want really I'm not talking about anything in particular I'm just three questions will anyone fix the consistency of QT apps in GNOME right now I don't think anybody is working on it so it looks like the answer is no short term long term who knows Trinity was forked from QT3 because many people didn't like the direction QT4 went in I know but now that we are in QT5 almost QT6 I think we can all agree that we went through it and there's no reason to have Trinity anymore yeah I like that the cringe means that you're groovy as a developer it's a good sign yeah absolutely true it also applies pretty much everywhere if you write text or poetry and you then read back and you realize how cringe you were means that you're improving you're writing as an example it applies to everything really how do I get rid of mid-click paste my laptop experience is miserable with it I feel you it's probably going to touch pad settings somewhere I don't know system settings by heart as much as I can try do you think that Linux will be widely adopted someday? I don't think so not quite like if you count, I don't know Android or I don't know Chrome OS but really Linux desktop as we know it I don't think so would you recommend KDE or GNOME developer who wants to release their cross-platform desktop app for Linux honestly these days it's just tough to do across desktop up like what are you going to do it with it either it looks good on KDE or it looks good on GNOME or it looks good on neither of the two you can do two frontends if you have the time but I don't know as far as developing it goes either is fine really just use either what can I do to extract maximum performance from KDE a disable compositor and it helps some but my potato laptop could use more help to be smooth I don't know disable effects but I mean if you have the compositor disable but I mean could help disable compositor and do desktop effects use the default theme don't use third-party themes don't mess up I don't know I don't think you can get lighter than that what is your favorite genre of music? rap I listen to rap Eminem can you explain how brother performance is so significantly better in Linux I don't think I don't think it's true I don't think the browser performance is any different QT is better for cross platform I mean I'm not sold on this I'm not sold QT if you do something QT that's way too generic something done with QT can look alien in KDE Plasma like telegram desktop no maybe not telegram desktop I don't know you can do an application in QT and then it looks absolutely alien you can also do it and it looks good on Plasma depends I said Eminem yeah probably Eminem the best one I would easily say Eminem I've also I've also really like Caparezza so favorite Italian rapper it's Caparezza Breeze does look a little old school but we did a redesign we try to make it more modern with that one Plasma is using a lot of RAM no actually no just check it out use it on a computer with 2GB of RAM and you will see that Plasma don't take that much J. Cole never heard from him yeah I also prefer the light Breeze theme I feel like a lot of things on KDE like padding yeah this one is stuff like it's very very very very hard to find the right padding for everything and make it consistent we are generally trying to improve on that direction but you know there's only so much we can do at a given time yeah it's slightly neomorphic but I don't know I think that they both look good I think that both the new GNOME and the new KDE Plasma designs look just good I will try J. Cole but I don't know you still see me new modern icons yes there is plans to do new icons you will get them soon I don't know how soon probably 5.25 new icons are coming then by Canvernet which by the way I'm doing a chess match with tomorrow if you haven't heard about that tomorrow I will do a live stream chess match probably more than one with Canvernet so if you're interested to see a KDE developer fight against a KDE designer tune in tomorrow so we still have like 20 minutes do you prefer me to keep answering questions or do you want me to play some chess and like forget about KDE a bit I don't know you tell me what you prefer I'm a bit tired but I can go on for 20 minutes on my 4GB from laptop the Plasma shop process uses just about 128MB yeah both at once why not let's do both I can answer a question while I play chess that's for sure feel free to send me some challenges I always play with time time is a piece is a chess piece feel free to make me some KDE questions I'm still answering KDE and QD apps in general lack kinetic scroll on touchpad yes there is work going on to bring that feature in but hopefully the situation will improve in I don't know one year it's tough but it's coming you ever play any chess variant rules I don't know sometimes but I'm not really into them hello Voidp nobody is send me any challenge so if you want to play with me you can send me challenges my username is Nicola Veon Lichas here we are and Passant I don't know what that is never heard of it KDE Connect lacks some windows I don't know files using Bluetooth call via Bluetooth I don't think that's coming what I think that most of the features that are in KDE Connect are the final one I don't think that many new ones will come and if you don't leave me I'm gonna mess up what are you going to do here is that a bad move that looks like a bad move though what if I do this do you think there will be Microsoft Office on Linux there's already a way to use it I think there's some way to use Microsoft Office I don't think that Microsoft will officially port Microsoft Office to Linux but yeah I think there is some way why not play on nights what's that sorry I don't know you mean the chess nights I'm using them they're very useful are you giving me a free pawn or what why did you do this what's the point oh I messed up no I didn't let's castle I can't disagree with this one how hard would it be for a junior developer to start working on touchpad gestures if you're interested you can write to me and I can try my best to help you out a bit it is difficult but there is some groundwork already so maybe that helps to some extent maybe shop now it's not dropped I'm just trying to make me annoyed but I'm a piece up do you play team fortress 2 no I don't KDHS game look lichess is free and open source I don't see why we shouldn't use lichess what more do you want free open source stuff beautiful you want my pawn not giving you my pawn not at all unless you give me yours unless you give me yours what is this chess client this is lichess lichess is free and open source they have parted edge and teams that is true however I think they will stop I don't think we'll see many more this is annoying though I don't think we'll see much more going on I might give up a piece to stop that pawn maybe lichess is pretty great yeah I don't know that stopped lichess the website works so well I don't see the need to do that what's your elo by the way 1750 okay do we want to trade do I want to trade no I don't actually yeah let's go for it tick tick I'm faster I hope so at least where do I go again you're right I think I'm faster I should be faster top 3 open source games I don't play much games like I play chess and that's about it I don't know what else cool game I can tell you some cool games but open source games I don't know you always use the native version of something I understand that but sometimes the web version is just just as good and I don't want to hate on it except for the matrix matrix clients I don't know in general matrix clients are not maybe it's matrix some good sources to learn linux commands there's a book which is

Hey there and welcome to Speak English with Christina where you'll have fun becoming fluent in American English Imagine you have a job interview in English soon. You've prepared your questions with my course get the job You've practiced your answers and you feel pretty confident but Did you think about the small talk? That's right even in an interview your ability to make small talk plays a big role in the interviewer's impression of you What should you say and what should you not say? That's what you'll learn today. Let's go Small talk has no place in a job interview Let me share some research with you in a study of a hundred and sixty three job interviews researchers found that pre interview small talk made a Significant difference on the result of the interview. I'll put the link to that study in the show notes so you can read it yourself and Small talk gives you a chance to make a good impression Plus you show that you're a nice person to work with and we all like working with nice people, right? Maybe the interviewer wants to make friendly chit-chat small Conversations before jumping into the big questions like tell me about yourself and what are your biggest weaknesses? For example, then the interviewer will start with how are you today? Don't just say fine and then stop talking because that awkward Uncomfortable silence you're expected to elaborate a little to give some more details Say something about your day or the trip to get to their office or how excited you are to be there a few ideas Good, it's been a good day so far. I had a productive morning. So yeah, everything's good Another one makes the traffic was smooth getting here and it was easy to find your office. So So far so good Another one. I'm good. Thanks. I've been looking forward to this interview for a while So I'm happy to finally be here Keep it positive You don't want the interviewer to remember you as the person who complained all the time if you have the habit of complaining about train strikes The bad weather or how tired you are Please go watch the lesson how to answer. How are you? It seems like a basic question But I see students who mess this up all the time Think of it as your first interview question and prepare it Weather is a very common small talk subject in everyday conversations where your aim is Not Necessarily to impress the other person but if you have the chance to meet an interviewer use Every moment to convince them that you're the right person Every other candidate will probably talk about the weather just because it is kind of the basic small talk conversation, but You're smarter than that and you're going to stand out because you actually thought to prepare The small talk before the interview and here's one technique that will have a much higher impact You know who will interview you. It's easy to find their LinkedIn profile and learn a little about their interests. You can then Casually mention the thing that you have in common. Maybe you saw they posted an article about Mmm, I don't know women in technology and Earlier that week you read an article on how Washington DC is America's top city for women in tech drop this Casually into the conversation if you have an opportunity for example You know earlier this week. I read an article about how Washington DC has a lot of women in the tech industry there I didn't know that did you? Maybe you saw that your interviewer does a specific sport like jogging or yoga or something like that and You could also mention that in your response to how are you something like? Oh, I'm good. Yeah, I went jogging for 30 minutes this morning So I'm feeling good and that's another easy way to make a quick connection and your interviewer will be pleasantly surprised to learn that you have a shared interest and We all like people who share our interests now Maybe you feel a little awkward making small talk Don't worry with practice It becomes easier and my course successful small talk was designed for students who are Comfortable enough with professional discussions in English But can't find the right things to say in everyday conversations We may call it small talk, but it can make a big difference in your career Now what about you?
