>>108813201>improve>improve>improvei better not see a single krash afterwards
based
Konqi is a whore?!!
>>108813696Bonqii
>>108813201Meanwhile it'll still krash and look fugly... on a serious note, KDE has always been the UGIS.
>>108813201why is kde krashing when quitting programs anyway?things like obs crashes 100% of the time when shutting it down
>>108813774it's just a little too komplex
>>108813760>KDE has always been the UGISMy guy, are you really gonna do Plastik and Oxygen dirty like that? Even Breeze becomes nice to use just switching to the Pixel Perfect Folder Icons and setting the new "line thickness" option to like 50% (IMO).
Ebussi on suicide watch. He won't be able to sabotage the Linux desktop anymore since everyone will be switching to KDE.
>>108813201they just like it because it has DE in the name
So 1,5 mil to implement (((security features))) and (((improve))) existing functionality. May or may not(lol) contain government backdoors.
>>108813201The 4th KReich rises, send w*ndows jeets to holiday camp
>>108813933they should rename GNOME, it sounds like a kids toy and not like something professional.Then big investors would donate I guess. They are just sabotaging themselves, like GIMP
KDE will add age verification and forced telemetry to comply with EU law. Nothing will actually improve.
>>108813909Sorry but when their ui stops looking like an uglier w11 I'll concede. Oxygen 6.7 looks okay.
>>108813591The last time KDE crashed for me was about 2 years ago or so.I don't know in what fantasy world you subhuman shills are living in.
>>108813201None of this is good.Whenever an EU government throws money into a FOSS project, it starts to stagnate or waste time with dumb shit and developers who work on A now start working on B, because that's for what the money comes in, leaving A in an unfinished state.Thinking specifically about Matrix here. Matrix had so much potential, and then the EU money came in and now they have redundant proposals and dead projects.
>>108814161They have a Breeze replacement in the works, but theming is a mess right now. When Union is ready, they’ll be able to implement it, and third party themes will be significantly easier to create.
>>108813774That's a you problem, I could exit OBS all day without a single crash.
>>108813201Based as fuck.
>>108813670What he said but unironically
Gern geschehen ;]
