Fedora 34 : Krita Plus 5.0.

Today I tested Krita Plus 5.0 on Fedora distro Linux version 34, see the download webpage.

I also installed the gmic tool and it worked very well.

Here is a screenshot with this new version:

Fedora 34 : Can be better? part 019.

Another way to improve the Fedora 34 is to add the lastes PyQt6 python package into repo.

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf search PyQt6
Last metadata expiration check: 2:03:10 ago on Tue 06 Jul 2021 08:52:41 PM EEST.
No matches found. 

First stable release for PyQt6 was on Jan 2021 by Riverbank Computing Ltd. under GPL or commercial and can be used with Python 3.

Let's install with pip tool:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
...
  WARNING: The scripts pip, pip3 and pip3.9 are installed in '/home/mythcat/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, 
  use --no-warn-script-location.
Successfully installed pip-21.1.3
[mythcat@desk ~]$ pip install PyQt6 --user
...

Let's see a simple example with this python package:

import sys
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel

def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = QLabel()
    win.resize(640, 498)
    win.setText("Qt is awesome!!!")
    win.show()
    app.exec()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I tested and run well.

Fedora 34 : Can be better? part 018.

Fedora distro can improuve the LXDE environment.

Let's start this simple tips and tricks that change the size of the window.

You can see the window is blocked by the Task Bar.

You need to open this file named lxde-rc.xml:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ vim ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml 

Then change these lines of source code save the file and reboot:

<!-- You can reserve a portion of your screen where windows will not cover when they are

 maximized, or when they are initially placed. 

Many programs reserve space automatically, but you can use this in other cases. -->

<margins>

 <top>0</top>

 <bottom>30</bottom>

 <left>0</left>

 <right>0</right>

</margins>

After reboot the result is more good:
