Help request (KDE Plasma): Disable vertical scroll bars while in touch screen mode

Title pretty much states what I'm looking to do.

For more clarity though: When I'm trying to take notes on a PDF or something with a stylus the edge of my hand often rests on the screen hitting the scroll bar and jumping me to a different part of the document.

When I'm in touch mode I usually will just use a finger in the middle of the page to scroll the document rather than the scroll bar.

is there a way to implement this specific behavior (disabling scroll bars while in touch mode)?

I looked around some and all I could find was hiding the scroll bars (which is already enabled).

Thanks in advance for the time and thought into this matter.

Good distro for touch screen / pen support?

Hey there folx, I'm getting ready to go back to school and I was curious of any distro that have good pen support. The basic use see is likely just reading studies and being able to highlight in the PDF.

I'm looking at either a new framework12 or trying to find a surface to meet these needs. Likely won't be until next year I'm in school so I have time to tinker and troubleshoot.

Any experience with Zulip (and some other questions)?

Hey y'all, was considering giving Zulip a try. I've got a group of friends that do everything from play games together, share memes, and organize medium-ish sized events that require a fair amount of coordination.

I was considering doing a self-host and was curious if doing this through a VPS service would work?

I was also maybe wanting to host somewhere I could also do a CMS and maybe a foundary instance.

As far as the CMS goes it would be a simple blog for sharing music and things.

Foundary is a VTT similar to roll20.

Thanks in advance!

[SOLVED] How do I fixed my borked BIOS screen?

I'm not sure when or how, but one day when I plugged my monitor back into the graphics port my BIOS screen looked like this.

Everything is fine when I boot into the OS.

I read that updating the BIOS could fix this, but to no avail.

Not sure what info would be relevant here but here are some basics:

  • ROG Strix 760-I Gaming Wifi running Version 1825 BIOS
  • Nvidia 4080
  • Kubuntu
  • Odessey G9 Ultrawide

EDIT - SOLUTION

Turns out the monitor was using display Port Version 1.4; when I switched this to v1.2 everything went back to normal

**EDIT - Thanks! **

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who put eyes on this and offered testing ideas, I'm glad I was able to stumbled to a solution that was prompoted by some of the ideas in here (even though the solution may not seem connected initially to anything stated).
