Finally, ~/Templates support!!

It’s a great addition. It’s a surprisingly powerful aspect of gnome that nobody, not even Gnome, ever seem to talk about.

They really should place a text file in that folder to explain how it works (and of course exempt it as being used as a template)

You mean one of those 6 folders that I delete as soon as I start up a new install?

Just ran through that list of bugs and don’t see my issue that happens all the time. I guess I’ll have to add a ticket.

My bug is when minimizing and restoring windows (fedora plasma 6 latest version), the first time or two it is smooth, but a few more times and it gets really jerky. It acts like a memory leak somewhere.

It can be a theme or a plugin issue.

Sharing a file to your device via KDE Connect no longer breaks after the first time you do it until the app you shared the file from is restarted

Yeeeees!

Oh thank you, finally. KDE connect has been pretty much useless since its Inception because of these things

I think this is a YMMV kind of thing because it has always worked for me.

Don’t see mention of fixes for the resume-from-sleep bugs that have been around since at least 6 :'(

I don’t really get why the KDE guys still insist on this atrocious lack of padding / spacing between UI elements. Even Microsoft figured this out by now.

Yes, I can’t begin to express how much I love 5 cm of whitespace between every setting on Windows Settings pages.

Thanks, Microsoft.

Because you can customize all of that

Defaults matter, most people never bother customizing.

Agreed. The great defaults in Plasma definitely are a major draw for me.

Some people (like me) like having a more compact layout

It seems that KDE spend 100% of the development time rounding corners and 0% fixing the multitude of crippling crashes and bugs that plague the software making it unusable for daily computing.

I don’t think this organisation has its priorities straight.

You say this in the comments of a blogpost where they are precisely doing that

Lots of people seem to be using it fine daily

Maybe you need to switch distro and check your hardware

Or if you’re getting lots of crashes, contribute code or money to get them addressed. Otherwise it’s clear your priorities aren’t straight

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
