set of scripts and some workarounds to keep life easier

What is it?

Just a set of script to install automate installation of some useful software and automate some workarounds for KDE Plasma.

Helpers/Workarounds

• nvidia_maxperf.sh -- add it to "Autostart" to get always your Nvidia in max perfomance mode

• plasma_fix_after_suspending.sh -- add it to "Autostart" to avoid some of annoying trouble after system was suspended and woked up:

  • Plasma -- destop artefacts after system woke up (actual for Plasma 5.16 and oldest)
  • SmartVideoWallpaper -- avoid annoying transition (black screen) in video loop playback after system woke up, even option "Use double player" already checked
  • kwin -- freezes while OpenGL/Vulkan application is running after system woke up
  • Qt applications -- artefacts with some Qt applications after system woke up (like Latte-Dock, Viber, MellowPlayer, etc)

• plasma_game_after_stop.sh -- launch it before game (or other "heavy" to GPU application) has been started to avoid:

  • Plasma Dekstop shortcuts -- can be moved and mixed on your desktop when application in "FullScreen" mode have a differen screen resolution than your current desktop
  • kwin -- freezes while OpenGL/Vulkan application is running after system woke up
  • non-US keyboard layout -- a lot of games and applications (like Unreal Engine 4) requires US keyboard layout, and switching to it sometimes is problematic while that application already started; so, better to do it before apllication has been started

• plasma_game_after_stop.sh -- launch it after game (or other "heavy" to GPU application) has been stopped to avoid:

  • Plasma Dekstop Chortcuts -- they can be moved and mixed on your desktop when application in "FullScreen" mode have a differen screen resolution than your current desktop
