Weird question, but when installing KDE, by default which is the setting for the rendering backend?

- XRender
- OpenGL 2.0, or
- OpenGL 3.1

At here the rendering backend defaults to the OpenGL 2.0 setting but the kwin support is telling:

Code: Select all

$ qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation | grep OpenGL

OpenGL version: 3.0
OpenGL 2 Shaders are used

With the OpenGL 3.1:

Code: Select all

$ qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation | grep OpenGL

OpenGL version: 3.3
OpenGL 2 Shaders are used

Same kind of:

Which Rendering Backend - OpenGL 2.0 or 3.1?: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthrea ... 2-0-or-3-1
Which opengl option?: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/3 ... gl_option/

Awesome, thankyou. Whereabouts are these settings stored on disk? I want to compare the settings I have now to the settings I have in a backup.

Don't know if this is what is meant but the settings are in >SystemSettings5>Display and Monitor>Compositor>Rendering backend. So they are perhaps somewhere in '/usr/share'.

looks like it's in ~/.config/kwinrc

in ~/.config/kwinrc.
GLCore=true means OpenGL 3 is used

Hi buddy, what is the extent to which we can push the strings too with this?
