From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gnome extension on KDE? (lemdro.id)

I know the title sounds a little strange but hear me out. The time tracking software I use for work doesn’t work on Wayland, unless I’m using Gnome as my DE. They have an extension that allows it to work in this case. Personally, I don’t enjoy Gnome on my desktop (I use it on my laptop). Is there a way for me to get the functionality that this extension provides on KDE so that I can use Wayland on my desktop as well?

Time tracking software:

EDIT: I have included more files in the codeberg repo. I hope this helps.

For screenshots Spectacle supports Wayland. Perhaps you could create a script to trigger it when certain conditions are met to get a similar effect.

I tried contacting support to get it fixed from their side (haven't followed up recently). The issue they noted from my logs was the following:

2024-02-29 02:00:12.809995 [AUDIT] [main] ActivityTracker.cpp:923 (START_IGNORED) Unable to start tracking project(2730068) due to Screenshots data consent/permission.

In the app, you need to enable permission for tracking (see screenshot). For some reason, this permission isn't granted "correctly" on Wayland which means it won't let me track time. At least that's how I understand it.
