We have back an old bug solved sometime back.

After COMPRESS something , ark opens new dolphin instance.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440663


EDIT: This time is when compressing something

Steps to reproduce

1 - change desktop to "as folder"
2 - put something in the desktop
3 - use the action menu tu compress as tar.gz or other option

Result , you have a new dolphin instance after compressed file creation.

Of course i have "disabled/unchecked" , the option open new windows in tab under dolphin config.

As i say its old solved problem but now returns :=)

Today's update:

It seemeth to me that an increasing percentage of the development work on KDE5 is having deleterious effects on performance and introducing new bugs at a rapid rate, particularly those things relative to X display issues, networking, and sound.

I'd made my peace with pulse audio and wayland works very poorly on my hardware. While I liked kde5 just fine at first, it is definitely getting worse not better for me.

Am I alone in this opinion?

In my personal experience as a wayland user, it used to be fragile in the past but it's getting better and better at every revision.
Are you aware of specific regressions that have been introduced recently? It would be nice to report them so developers can have a look before 5.27 stops getting LTS updates

I've never been able to get Wayland to work in any satisfactory way. What's the raison d'etre for Wayland?

As expected, considering that you own a NVIDIA graphics card and this NVIDIA, Inc. company tried its worst to sabotage the Wayland adoption by Linux distributions.

You known already that Wayland is the modern replacement of the stone-age Xorg server, full of spaghetti code and bugs like a stray dog.

So, if you want a raison d'etre, it's this one: as you don't go at job driving a 120 years old Ford T, why do you expect to use a X11 server?

Because NVIDIA wants so? Apparently there's a single way to deal with NVIDIA: the Mr. Torvalds' style.

Imagine that tomorrow ALL the Linux distributions will put down the Xorg server. Everybody. I bet that in no more than one month, the NVIDIA drivers will fly on Wayland.

In my setup it handles multi-monitor with different DPIs just automagically, including connection and disconnection using usb-c.

It would seem that our good and .faithful comrades in the caves over at the Wayland labs would recognize that lots of us have NVIDIA hardware and have no reason to unplug it. My motherboard has 2 ports and I often run 4 monitors from Model T Ford graphics card

KDE Plasma Wayland tip

For those who use or want to use the "Full Wayland" session but have applications that still require x11

Modify your ~/.local/share/applications/<application>.desktop
Benefits here of the full wayland session: fast, smooth, touchpad gestures are amazing
