London, 21 April 2022. Canonical Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is now generally available, featuring significant leaps forward in cloud confidential computing, real-time kernel for industrial applications, and enterprise Active Directory, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FIPS and FedRAMP compliance – raising the bar for open source from cloud to edge, IoT and workstations. Canonical partners with industry leaders to deliver enterprise-grade security, long-term maintenance and support on all major architectures, hardware and clouds.

“Our mission is to be a secure, reliable and consistent open-source platform – everywhere”, said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical. “Ubuntu 22.04 LTS unlocks innovation for industries with demanding infrastructure security requirements, such as telecommunications and industrial automation, underpinning their digital transformation.“

This fixed my problem on my Dell XPS 13 and XPS 15 on KDE Neon en Kernel 5.15.32-xanmod1

(MWe$)-[/etc/sysctl.d]$ cat 10-vmware-workstation.conf  
# Disable kcompactd0 to work around a conflict with VMWare Workstation.
vm.compaction_proactiveness=0
(MWe$)-[/etc/sysctl.d]$

Or “sudo sysctl vm.compaction_proactiveness=0”

I have a dual monitor set-up and, as such, I have 200% scaling on my primary screen (13 inch up to 4k) and 100% scaling on my second monitor.

Example:

#!/bin/sh
sudo xrandr --output DP-1 --off
sudo xrandr --output eDP-1 --primary --mode 3456x2160 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --scale 0.9999x0.9999 --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3456x0 --rotate normal --scale 2x2 --output HDMI-1 --off --output DP-2 --off --output DP-3 --off --output DP-4 --off

#randr --output eDP-1 --primary --mode 3456x2160 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --scale 0.9999x0.9999 --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3456x0 --rotate normal --scale 2x2 -r 59.94 --output HDMI-1 --off --output DP-2 --off --output DP-3 --off --output DP-4 --off

#!/bin/bash
DEVICE=$1
if [ "$1" == "" ] ; then
    DEVICE="DP-1"
fi
MODELINE=\"$(cvt 1920 1080 | grep -e "^#" -v | cut -d '"' -f 2-)
MODENAME=$(echo $MODELINE | cut -d " " -f 1)
MODEPARAMS=$(echo $MODELINE | cut -d " " -f 2-)
sudo xrandr --newmode $MODENAME $MODEPARAMS
sudo xrandr --addmode $DEVICE $MODENAME

xrandr –output DP-1 –off # for after setting you have the correct wallpaper format on secondary screen
–scale 0.9999×0.9999 on eDP-1 #for disableing flickering mouse
–scale 2×2 -r 59.94 # for secondary monitor 1920×1080

First install Install gcc 11
Run the following command to add the Toolchain repository:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

Install gcc 11:

sudo apt install -y gcc-11

Check gcc version to verify that the installation completed successfully:

gcc-11 --version

Nou you can install VMware Workstation 16.2.3 Pro for Linux

sudo ./VMware-Workstation-Full-16.2.3-19376536.x86_64.bundle

After install start VMware Workstation and it wil install the “vmmon and vmnet” running on:

EDIT:

System versions

Horizon Client version: 2111 / build: 8.4.0
KDE Neon / Ubuntu 20.04 Linux kernel 5.15.22-xanmod1
KDE Plasma 5.24.1
Qt Vesrion 5.13.3

KDE Plasma 5.24 is out and (as we’ve come to expect) it is chock full of performance improvements, user interface refinements, and even a few handy new features.

In this post I run through the most notable and noticeable changes shipping in KDE Plasma 5.24, plus tell you how you can try the release out first hand.

While we’re on the subject: if you’re a fan of KDE Plasma and you want to see more coverage of the DE on omg! do let me know in the comments. While Plasma is not a desktop environment I’m super familiar with (thus I don’t know my way around it very well) its ballooning popularity —even the Steam Deck uses it, well kinda— has me intrigued!
