I have already installed it!! Everything works great and very fast. My only issue is that the fonts appears to be tiny in some GTK applications such as Dia, Gimp,
Firefox (non -ESR)

What desktop environment ? What installation media did you use ?

I have installed Q4OS Gemini with KDE Plasma on a Tuxedo Aura laptop. The fonts look small on some GTK apps such as
Firefox, Gimp, Dia and I did not find a way to change them

q4osteam · 2021-09-27 17:42

We will check it out and post back.

crosscourt · 2021-09-27 17:43

Thanks, will be upgrading my present Gemini install to see what happens then try a clean install on another system.

We are not able to reproduce the issue, GTK fonts for Dia and Gimp applications are the same size as the system font, see the image attached. Would you paste a screenshot here please ?

itsoulos · 2021-09-27 20:07

No, the fonts in KDE apps have bigger size than that in GTK apps

@itsoulos
Did you configure screen scaling ? We have performed some investigations, but still not able to reproduce the issue quite exactly, see the image attached, so it seems to be hardware dependent. As we cannot investigate further, it would be really helpful, if you could confirm the same fonts display issue on vanilla Debian Bullseye on your hardware.

Yes I have enable screen scaling. I have the same problem with an installation of Q4OS on a Macbook Pro mid2014 with Retina Screen. I have installed MX Linux and Sparky Linux on the same machines, but I did not face the same problem as with Q4OS.

q4osteam · 2021-09-28 09:31

What is the screen scaling value ?

itsoulos · 2021-09-28 09:48

I have used 2 for Macbook and 1.5 for Tuxedo

What versions ?

We will continue trying to reproduce and investigate the issue, thanks for the information and reporting. Again, it would be really helpful, if you would confirm, or refuse, the same issue with vanilla Debian Bullseye, with the same scaling values. It may be sufficient just boot the Bullseye live media and install Dia application to see how it shows the fonts.

I have tried Debian Bullsye on Tuxedo laptop and I did not face the same problem as with Q4OS. Again thank you for your response and
the excellent work in Q4OS. It is very stable and fast

@itsoulos
Do you face a problem when you run Q4OS live media ?

itsoulos · 2021-09-28 14:36

The only problem when i run the Live Media is the fonts in GTK apps. Everything else works fine.
I believe that is an issue with gtkrc file but I do not know how to solve this

q4osteam · 2021-09-28 19:57

@itsoulos
You likely need to uninstall "xsettingsd" package and reboot. That should fix the issue.
$ sudo apt autoremove xsettingsd
In addition you may install "xsettings-kde" package:
$ sudo apt install xsettings-kde
and report back the result.

crosscourt · 2021-09-28 20:00

Upgraded both my present Gemini installs to 4.6.1 with no issues.

Even more proper way would be moving the ".xsettingsd" config file, so you don't need to uninstall "xsettingsd" package:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.configtde/xsettingsd/
$ mv $HOME/.xsettingsd $HOME/.configtde/xsettingsd/xsettingsd.conf

We are working on a fix.

Installed Gemini Plasma with no issues so far on:

Dell OptiPlex 3060
Dell Vostro 3681
LG AIO 24V550
LG AIO 22V280
LG gram i5
Toshiba Portege R930
3Green business desktop (Celeron)
Samsung RV415 (slow as hell but what can you expect from the worst processor ever made)
Intel NUC – Celeron
Mitsushiba NUC i3 (Brazilian repackaged Intel NUC)

Gemini also works well with the popular TP-Link TL-WN821N USB WiFi adapter once you install the drivers.

Download: https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

Extract and open a terminal in the extracted folder

Install:
1) make
2) sudo make install
3) exit
4) add in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=0
5) reboot

@BonusBrain
Great We would suggest you to make use of Desktop profiler and its new custom profiles feature, if you install Gemini on multiple machines.
