This week in KDE: Tons of UI improvements and bugfixes

Re:This week in KDE: Tons of UI improvements and bugfixes by ChuckNorris89 on Saturday July 23, 2022 @06:20AM (#32202002)

My biggest pet peeve with Gnome is the attitude of the devs towards bug reports or criticism ("you're holding it wrong")[1] vs the KDE devs that acknowledge the bugs and work to fix them and add features the community is screaming for (after the infamous LTT video, KDE guys fixed the UX issue Linus complained).

And don't get me started on the infamous Gnome filepicker. How are the thumbnails going? To which the response from the community has always been: "this isn't a problem since that's not how Gnome users are supposed to use Gnome" lol. Ok Gnome, you do you, just count me and everyone I know out.

I find it a shame that such a toxic and user hostile project has become the default Linux DE on most distros today, while KDE keeps getting sidelined because people refuse to try it since they had a bad experience with it 10 years ago and seem to hold a grudge.

I'm happy Valve chose KDE for the Steam Deck, though it is the most sane choice for it though.

Yeah I agree. I don't pay much attention, but I've seen a couple of occasions recently of some small issue, like a website thing being resolved in a couple of hours. No drama. Hope it continues.
