KDE might be in a position to *address* 11G of RAM which might be used for any of a number of reasons - like caching every thumbnail you ever read in the session. 11G addressable out of 16G indicates that efficient use of your memory is being made.

[gentoo-user] KDE and the new plasma 5 thing
Howdy, Well, I went and did it. On one hand, it's sort of nice. Seems to be faster in a way. On the other hand, I want to wring its neck. I used to have 10 virtual desktop thingys. I was organized like a OCD King here. Well, that seems to have left the building. Google informed me that "activities" is the new thing. No more virtual desktops. All righty then.

None of this is grub's fault, it's users are just petulant children. It's bloated but pick a real argument.

Well, the uefi related commands in the kernel build section appears to gloss over the potential issues that having a misconfigured kernel (notably, one lacking either a builtin root= command line or an initramfs that will handle that) directly uefi-stub booted will bring, and installing the kernel as bootx64.efi might be contributing to grub itself not being loaded. The other potential source of an issue I see is that, while the kernel build section of the handbook appears to point towards using /boot/efi/ for the fat32 EFI partition (presumably based on earlier usage/recommendations/commands), the grub2 part of the bootloaders page in the handbook gives "--efi-directory=/boot". That would cause grub to be on the wrong partition, completely out of reach of the uefi firmware's boot process. If it's in the right place despite that (such as, the user noticing the discrepancy and adjusting for it, or me assuming the effect of that flag all wrong), it's still potentially being overridden by the bootx64.efi file put in place in the earlier chapter, unless grub auto-adds itself to the efi boot list with a higher priority than the generic quasi-bios-style 'disk' boot entry (with, say, efibootmgr). The file 'bootx64.efi' is the default that uefi looks for when booting a 'disk' in a quasi-bios-style fallback (if there's not a real 'boot this particular thing' like the windows boot manager adds), which also makes the efibootmgr example that sets up a boot entry for it a little redundant (though using efibootmgr, one could add an entry for grub to fix the whole mess). Of course, using efibootmgr, you could also just add entries for your kernels, having copied them to files named something sensible in the efi filesystem, each built with an embedded command line and/or initramfs that's sufficient to boot, and cut out the middleman. It's a little more 'hands on' than running grub2-mkconfig when you're changing things around for a new kernel, though. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy

You could try the following: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/ocd-plasma5-theme?content=175772 I am not fully convinced, but then again, I quite like "Breeze Dark" with "Air" so far. But still looking for a really nice one. (My design skills are non-existent) -- Joost

I saw that too, and it cast a gloom over the rest of my day. I intend to stick with KDE-4 until some more sensible themes become available in Plasma 5, so I hope someone will be keeping an archive of KDE-4 somewhere, as in the earlier case of KDE 3 -> 4. Last time I searched for Plasma 5 themes (or design methods, in case I might be able to create my own) I came up empty handed. My objection to the available one is that it's just ugly: acres of wasted space everywhere, and great blocks of solid colour, some of which are actually buttons without looking like them. Nothing subtle or sophisticated about it at all. If anyone can point me to a better theme I'll be grateful. -- Rgds Peter
[gentoo-user] SOLVED: NVMe drive and grub

The problem was sys-boot/grub-2.02_beta2-r9, which UEFI never ran. The fix was to get rid of grub altogether and instead use sys-boot/gummiboot. Not only was it fully functional, it was a welcome relief not to have to grapple with grub's baroque complexity and to be able to return to the simple booting I remember from years ago. I'd spent five long days wrestling with grub, going round in circles and getting nowhere, before I was pointed to gummiboot. Let's hope this helps someone else get a new computer booting. -- Rgds Peter
