Experimental feature but can be enabled in firefox stable in Settings, Firefox Labs, Tab notes under Productivity.

I found it really useful for when Im researching something and have lots of papers open in separate tabs. Though Im using it more like tab tags, since notes show up when you hover over tabs. It lets me see at a glance which specific topic a tab is related to if I forget.

What do you all think? I was kinda surprised how little discussion I have seen on this, considering that no other browser have something like it. Firefoxs implementation is pretty smart too, instead of just being a sticky notes widget in the browser (like the one in Vivaldi).

Just add KWIN_WAYLAND_SUPPORT_XX_PIP_V1=1 to your env vars. For eg:

1. nano ~/.config/environment.d/90-wayland-pip.conf (or use your fav editor)
2. paste KWIN_WAYLAND_SUPPORT_XX_PIP_V1=1 and save (ctrl x, y)

This only works in Firefox at the moment AFAIK. But with this you get proper PiP without any kwin/application rules. Its an experimental protocol but it has worked really well for me so far.

Honestly it should be enabled by default since the current default PiP experience is basically a standard window ie it doesnt exist. Leaves a bad impression if something common like this doesnt work imo.

From the blog post:

So I fired up Cyberpunk 2077 with the “low” graphics preset and it went from 27 fps with Mesa main to 50 fps with linux-dmabuf v6. That’s more than 80% better performance!

One of the big limitations mentioned is that this requires the game to be run using Wine Wayland, which requires a proton fork (like Proton-GE or Proton-Cachyos).

Also while this is about the Plasma/Kwin implementation, presumably other compositors will get the performance improvement too, once they implement support for the protocol.

You can use --sudoloop option with your normal update command and paru/yay will ensure the terminal session remains authenticated until the command has ended. For example:

paru -Syu --sudoloop

This way, after long builds, paru/yay won't have to wait for you to enter the sudo pass, or timeout and thus fail to install the built packages. This was something that really annoyed me as someone new to Linux/Arch.

I recently wanted to auto update my plugins but didnt want to use discover. Instead I found this nifty tool for it. Not made by me.
