@eskuero @Bro666 funny. I'm turning 60 in less than a couple of years and I have been using KDE only for half of my life too 🤪

@Bro666 @Ephera this is it exactly. Those that take it the other way have a much too strong bipartisan way of thinking - everything is on exaggerated scales of a vs b, attacking the person, not the subject.

💪👏🏻 well said!

@onlinepersona @iturnedintoanewt It would be most effective if you'd take your own advice - If *I* am searching through the start menu, *I* will be looking for applications first, files second and random directories absolutely last.

@BlackLaZoR @schnurrito That is not a function of a UI - that's a function of NetworkManager (or whatever network stack your distro uses).

As for WireGuard - it does that automagically across all platforms and all network stacks I've used it on so far - so if it's not doing it for you, then you got something screwed up somewhere else, deeper down.

@albertye Maybe the colour scheme?

I have a similar issue with Chromium with Plasma and the dark MacOS theme

@onlinepersona "Just don’t make the assumption everybody thinks like you do." <-- just by saying that, you have made the exact same assumption and are requesting (nay, demanding) that status quo is kept. 🤷‍♂️

@TerHu @Lojcs

*I* would propose to stop using the K everywhere in naming apps.

"It was Kool bacK in the day when KDE was Kaining traKtion" - but now, it's a *K*luge.

@idriss @Saapas It's still an upgrade we've known for over two decades that we needed. The X protocol is inherently insecure by design - showing its age. If Wayland manages to nudge us a little closer to the reality of today, that's a good thing - even if it comes bundled with some diaper rash.

@4Robato that is neither a problem with Linux nor with Krita. That's a problem with you having a really crappy mouse - or - a very dirty sensor on the mouse - or - you don't have a mouse mat and are using a wood-grain desk - OR - a combination of any of the three aforementioned issues.

@ikidd No I haven't - yet at least. Being a dad of a hockey player and pianist and a full-time employee means I don't have much leisure time for things like that. I did file a bug and a fix for it in another FOSS program - I thing that will suffice for now. Upcoming are both hockey tournament _and_ a piano concert, so... leisure time? That's later.

@bytesonbike @Bro666 No, but a lot of people have said "I can't create without Photoshop/Final Cut/Logic/Motion - applications that are Apple-first or Apple-only (and some of them, most of them, come from Apple).

@bjoern_tantau @4Robato not a bug. Mouse issue. Notice the squiggly lines - either it's the mouse (crappy or dirty sensor) or he doesn't have a mouse mat and is using a wood-grain (or some other un-even) desktop.

@caseyweederman @Bro666 that only means one of three things:
a) your sample size of Linux users is too small
b) the echo chamber of Linux users you measure yourself against is too homogeneous (and y'all happen to be nice guys)
or c) you really aren't a nice guy and you just look down on all Windows users equally.

There's a lot of nice Windows users - and there's a lot of not-so-nice Linux users. Don't get confused when measuring up people - judging a whole group from your POV isn't good at all.

@pglpm It's still an ultimatum.

Even the AI is more socially apt than you.

@FauxLiving the Quest3 runs Android which is a lightweight Linux with a fairly opimosed proprietary graphics engine. It's literally a powerful embedded device. It's still too feeble for a full OS. The MQ3 struggles with the high-resolution, high-action games like Asgard's Wrath 2, not having enough CPU power for the location detection PLUS running the game. The Steam Frame is no different in that aspect, the difference being Steam realizes it and are't trying to gaslight you about the situation.

@who @Bro666 Well, it's good then that your opinion doesn't matter? No, it's not too soon. X11 was a WELL KNOWN security risk *30 years* ago. For 30 years I've been managing systems, knowing that even an unprivileged compromise might lead to a machine leaking more than a sieve with its mesh missing.

Will it be disruptive? No. Will it change *your* workflow? Sure, at least in part, if you're a streamer or have some very borderline needs.

X11 is a cancer long overdue.
