RIP 4090
Also took a look at mpc-qt, https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt/releases. It's missing a ton of the features the newer maintained MPC-HC has gained over the years since the original went stale. But by God, the detail in its picture is outstanding.

What apps would you like to see ported to Qt/KDE?
Have you heard about or tried mpc-qt? As the name might imply, it's inspired by Media Player Classic (specifically MPC-HC), so it probably fits in better than a player that uses custom skins
- Command Line Video Player

THEY LOVE ME
I just use mpc-qt, basically the best of both worlds. Sadly its not actively developed but the program itself works just fine

Anyone successfully compile mpc-qt on Windows?
I've been trying to compile mpc-qt (https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt) on Windows 10 and just can't seem to get it to work. I've found portable releases of it, but can't seem to get Windows to associate it with media files. Anyone have success with it?

Setting up an SSH tunnel

Allow to freely position the navigation bar
Perhaps this issue addresses your concern? In fullscreen mode the toolbar only locks to the top or bottom, but in a non-fullscreen maximized window the toolbar can also be set to the left or right.

Remmina Breaks everytime that snap updates?
This is a known issue with the Remmina snap package. You can find more info about it here. Hopefully we'll have this issue resolved soon so in the next release or two it will no longer be a problem

Do you plan on releasing hidpi version?
Are you talking about Remmina local icons or remote desktop/server content? HiDPI support is not currently available across all linux desktop environments. The better desktop supporting HiDPI is currently KDE Plasma. For XFCE try to see here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#Xfce There are plans to improve and standardize HiDPI support in various linux destkop communities. With fractional scaling too. But we will only see a standard implementation in no less than 3-5 years and not for Xorg. Only for wayland. See this: https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/wikis/Problems-and-tweaks/Remmina-RDP-and-HiDPI-scaling
- Remmina not resolving hostnames (works OK with IP)

Ah okay you're using PipeWire, I haven't used it myself so I've done some searching and found this issue from three months ago

True fractional scaling in Gnome/GTK?
I'm not 100% versed in the technical details of how all parts interact, but I was specifically referring to the Remmina wiki page that claims it's impossible to fix under Gnome with gtk 3/4 for both integer and fractional scaling cases.
