@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I tried to install some of the apps listed there but they are not in the arch linux repos. Is there any other way to try them?

@knobbysideup @linux Yep, it is disabled

@astray yeah, that could be an option, but if more users exist in that machine then other processes might fail as that instance is part of a bigger cluster that has several processes running. It might not be a big deal, but checking that may still need some work. I’d prefer a way to do it without creating new users, if it exists

Forgot to mention that creating a new user brings a lot of problems because of how that machine is configured and all the tools that would need to be added the new user’s permission. In theory it would eventually work after some time working on it, but I’d like to know if there’s a way to do it without creating users (or if it’s impossible, so I can just go on with that only option)
@linux

If the child is really young, check out the sugar desktop environment. There is an official distro from sugarlabs and there is also a fedora spin (fedora soas)
If the computer should be a little more functional, the GNOME desktop or the Deepin desktop are good options imo

@Rustmilian @linux Thank you for your help! I did what you suggested and it fixed about 80% of the problem. I no longer randomly disconnect from the network and it is way faster than before, although download speed is still 8x slower than it was last week when I had fedora running instead of arch. I think I’m going to try more values for the 11n_disable parameter (there is no power management to disable), but even if it doesnt improve my machine is at least usable now. Thanks!

Although the most active instance by far is pixelfed.social, that shouldn’t be relevant as you can interact with any pixelfed or mastodon account/posts no matter the server you join. So, you could join any pixelfed instance and follow the mastodon.art (most active multimedia instance) users, for example

Great news. Seems that most of the community uses KDE anyway, so this should make things faster for most installations
