Hello #Plasma 6.6, wellcome aboard.

To use the new plasma login manager, install it, enable plasmalogin systemd service, disable [sddm] systemd sercie, and restart (stopping sddm will kill you session).

To use extract text from screenshots (new spectacle feature), install tesseract and tesseract-data-eng (and/or other language data). I installed tesseract-data-dan for example, result in the note bottom right. Select language(s) in the spectacle settings.

NOTE: I had initially installed a bad tesseract-data file, so I renwed this post. Text extraction works very well, also in danish!

@msdropbear Thank you

@msdropbear @anderslund

et tu, droppie?

Just kidding. Any real world benefits switching from sddm to plm over in Linux Land so far or just because it's new?

@Tionisla @msdropbear
You can apply a bunch of your plasma settings to it.

(ALT text created with spectacle ocr, btw)

[msdropbear@friendica.opensocial.space]

@anderslund oh good point! hey, would i be correct to intuit you grabbed your AltText via the OCR of the new Spectacle? Clever! @Tionisla

[anderslund@expressional.social]

@msdropbear @Tionisla

Yes, that is what I did. IT is faster than what the web interface does, and I think also more accurate.

@anderslund @msdropbear

err... I'm on FreeBSD, so I will only be able to use sddm.

[anderslund@expressional.social]

@Tionisla @msdropbear
Nothing wrong with SDDM

[tionisla@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@anderslund @msdropbear

droppie just said... using sddm feels impure...

[msdropbear@friendica.opensocial.space]

@Tionisla yeah but otoh, droppie is a terrible horrible strayan mythological creature, so prolly has pretty low credibility! @anderslund

[tionisla@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@msdropbear @anderslund

*shocked* now, now... don't tell me santa claus and the easter bunny also don't exist... They do! They DO!

ok, srsly. I still do feel a bit sad any time someone on Linux mentions a "just use sddm" (no offence, anders. I know it's not meant in bad faith from you).

Anyway... enough musings of an old person... Have fun, you both. Greetings from BSDland.
