Auto-Update KDE Plasma Widgets/Themes

Thought of a way to auto update KDE Plasma Widgets. I don't use discover to update my system so this seemed a good way of providing an alternate way of delivering updates for plasma widgets/themes. Every widget or plasma theme uses metadata.json to provide info about the widget/theme. In the metadata.json file there is a version key, use this to check for a new version. Put this in your config setup or main.qml so that when the widget first runs it checks for updates, could auto update or prompt user to update. Only tested on github, not sure for gitlab or other platforms

property string updateURL:"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/txhammer68/pirateWeather/refs/heads/main/metadata.json"
property string updateCMD:"git clone https://github.com/TxHammer68/pirateWeather /tmp/pirateWeather/ && kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -u /tmp/pirateWeather/"
property double currentVersion:Plasmoid.metaData.version
property double updateVersion:0.0

Useful tips for optimizing Linux CachyOs

For NVME SSD

For Linux systems using CachyOS and XFS, a 4K native (4Kn) NVMe sector size is generally superior to emulated 512-byte (512e) blocks. It reduces the overhead of firmware translation and aligns perfectly with the standard 4K filesystem blocks of XFS, which maximizes I/O bandwidth and minimizes latency.

Must perform this before installing/creating partitions/formatting w/ CachyOS installer

sudo pacman -S nvme-cli

Show options verify 4k blocks available
