No flaw. But KDE has a method for users like you (and me) that prefer our desktops empty. I forget what it’s called but you can set your desktop to have no icons and no folders.

Given that windows administration is powershell these days they kind of are similar.

Windows is missing so much in their guis abilities (like copy text) that I wonder what there is you are missing.

Edit: Although this is not an admin function, one thing that bothers me about windows, A LOT is that the file explorer does not show free space while I am in the current directory. Dolphin will do it even for SMB shares. Also you can click the drop down and examine all drives right there instead of have to back to the left and ruining your view in explorer. And don’t get me started about how you can’t split views in Windows explorer. This is just one everyday task where windows GUI is lacking in features even though it is not an admin tool.

I have been using Linux for a long time (20+ years) and my main had been Arch.

Just wanted to say I put Fedora KDE spin on a laptop about 8 months ago and it has been great! Updates are frequent but have gone smoothly, some software is newer than arch which is kind of surprising.

But it’s all been integrated well and I was pleasantly surprised.

So I agree with you as a longer Linux user.

I hope the new Fedora project lead does just as good a job.

I have Fedora KDE spin on my laptop. I have not seen a single bug for a year. Arch KDE on my desktop, and occasional glitch but nothing like you describe.

I dobt think this is a KDE issue.

Are there any guides for gett8ng this to work as a flatpak in Arch? I am not sure I can get it to connect to an output or jack.

I disagree. Black Mesa is Black Mesa. It is no Half Life 1. The atmosphere in one is completely lost with Black Mesa. Start with Half Life and play to Alyx. Go back to Mesa for a second way to view 1.

I have been really impressed with Fedora’s handling of KDE. Updates are quick, system is solid and sanely configured.

This is good news. I have it on a laptop, and I am thinking about switching over on my desktop.

Yep, you gotta do what you gotta do. I could never blame anyone for that.

Then when you are your own boss you can do it your way!

It sure is a popular app regionally. Lots of people in different countries I know use it interchangeably at this point: when they say text, they mean whatsap. I get it.

But I will not support Meta, there is a line. I don’t need family or friends that cannot use open source alternative. Worse case, I just drop back to sms.

But work requires it? Or you happen to have work that needs to support many customers? I suppose I could see that, but work would then be a completely separate phone only for that purpose.

Life fair. It’s only trying to help you not have to use whatsapp.

Every single ununtu release since Warty has been trouble. Ubuntu breaks. Does wetid things. Makes weird choices. Upgrades often fail.

I am surprised it took you this long to run into issues.

Your merits matter most to me. But we all need to get the hell away from that platform.

That sucks. And the only way to fix it is to get people not to play.

I am on hiring committees for a large firm for it positions. When people put their linked in on their resumes, I see it as a negative. If they can’t value their personal data, I don’t see how they can value my companies.

Linked in shouldn’t even be an option. It was shit before microsoft bought them (email man in the middle, remember that?) and somehow microsoft made it worse.

I would never touch that platform. Friends don’t let friends use it.

No, it would be more like a poor craftsman who doesn’t recognize it when a tool is crappy. Ubuntu is always on the way to breaking, or is broken at the get go. I remember when they thought 4 was stable. It was not nearly compared to most anything else at the time.

Even recently I had to install Ubuntu for a project because that is what the vendor supported. Several things were broken post install. Default Ubuntu stuff that should have just worked. Par for the course. If you get past that, of course the mishmash of Snap management for feature incomplete software can be very trying for a new user, when other distros make it easy.

Most crashy breaky mainstream distro there is and always has been.

It’s barely tolerable.

But I did used to like the departure from blue themes like nearly everyone else.

Do you really hate helpful algorithms (since AI doesn’t really exist yet) or do you hate the hype and marketing?

I ran Sid for years, I knew what it was named for and that was cool.

Lately though I have been wondering if they are going to run out of characters? Maybe it’s time to latch onto something else? I don’t know…

Admittedly a computer in everyone’s hand is new. But corel paint, for example, was 12 years old in 2003. People were basically making memes and creating scenes that never existed on a whim and for the lulz back then.

And were much, much, better then these stupid examples!

Absolutely everyone can was about 20 years ago though.
