Thread 106282460

Is this buggy piece of shit usable these days?

>>106282460 (OP)
as long as you are using a 6.3.*+ version

>>106282460 (OP)
What's that?

>>106282469
Should I am for older stable versions or newer? My intuition tells me that with frequent updates more shit will break.

>>106282460 (OP)
Honestly I have had little to no issues with KDE on debian for the past several years. It's mostly minor software bugs (not KDE issue) that I encounter.
I can only think of one KDE issue: dolphin removing the portable device on eject instead of just unmounting.
That's the only KDE bug I can think of.

I hate Gnome wokies for pushing "design guidelines" onto everybody
The enemy of my enemy is my friend

>>106282544
Are the gnomes in the room with us?

>>106282460 (OP)
No. Use Cinnamon.

>>106282590
That was my conclusion. It's Plasma, as in a windows like gui, but stable and not bloated.

>>106282504
don't use older versions, version 6 was a big improvement in all respects. it's actually stable if you're not a crazy edge case of some sort

>>106282622
>>106282590
Cinnamon is a good DE, but it's honestly outclassed by Plasma nowadays

>>106282590
No thumbnails in file picker.

>>106282460 (OP)
Well it's very good nowadays at-least the desktop is, they need to put more work on the suite that just sucks. we need a better calendar and contacts software. Dolphin need more view options and wayland still needs work I don't know why but it doesn't remember the window state after going back form maximized but, that's really at as far as I know the problems with KDE is just the Linux Desktop itself not have much software when it comes to professional grade, it's sure lacking.

started using it recently. seems fine, but the login screen is ugly.

>>106282638
>Cinnamon is a good DE
I don't like to shit on projects, but cinnamon is build on shit fundamentals (gnome fork) and it seems it's not moving that much (project).

>>106282657
>but the login screen is ugly.
I think they have improved it a lot in the newer versions.

mogged by xue

>>106282664
It doesn't need to improve a lot.

>>106282643
>Well it's very good nowadays at-least the desktop is, they need to put more work on the suite
>DE has good desktop environment
>but the rest...
The rest shouldn't exist. It should be its own separate package. Or several packages with an opional 'suite' metapackage that install them all except the DE.

>>106282657
Are you talking about this? Or are you using the default sddm one?

>>106282664
>it seems it's not moving that much (project)
If ain't broken, don't fix it.

>>106282707
The clock used to look so bad.

>>106282711
>If ain't broken
it's beyond broken and early Gnome 3.x fork.

is there any lxqt user here? is it any good? is it just as stable as xfce?

>>106282760
I used it on my old laptop. Pretty gud. Nothing revolutionary. If you want a lightweight qt desktop then it's for you.

>>106282760
>>106282681

>>106282707
must be the default one.

>>106282926
Open settings, search sddm and click the breeze one. Idk why you have to do that on Arch

>>106282904
Xfce is overrated. If you are a nostalgiafag use MATE

After tinkering so much I realised stock GNOME is the endgame

>>106282460 (OP)
No

>>106284108
Based and bruce3434 pilled

>>106282460 (OP)
they should make a DE that's a fork of KDE but with all customization options stripped out so they can make it more stable

>>106282460 (OP)
It's very good.
It made great strides in the past few years.
I've been daily driving it for 3 years or more.

>>106284506
That wouldn't actually accomplish much. Most of the bugs KDE faces nowadays are toolkit issues in Qt. I rarely have any bugs or issues with the desktop itself.

>>106282941
Because Arch is fully vanilla and installs everything with defaults.
What you see is the default SDDM login screen.

>>106282460 (OP)
my recent experience with it has been relatively good. Still some minor glitches/bugs but usable.

I'm starting to think that the krash meme is a user issue

>>106282460 (OP)
Better than windows 11.

The unwritten rules of GNOME:

Don't use any themes other than Adwaita. GNOME has no stable themes API so don't bother forking a theme, because it will, sooner or later, break. Don't boil the ocean.

Never install GNOME extensions. GNOME has no stable extension API so don't bother, you'll either burn out or it simply will keep breaking in each update. There's no legit incentive to swim against the tide.

Never use the tweak tool, the changes in GNOME my conflict with your custom settings.

Do everything "the redhat way": systemd, dbus, latest Gtk, flatpak, CSD, polkit etc.

GNOME forces you a very specific workflow and in return you get a polished and stable UX.

There's no sugarcoating in my posts but I just say the things people won't tell you straight away, yet they know these deep inside.

Another footnote, it's easy to misinterpret this post. Note that I still prefer GNOME more than anything else, because it's the only real desktop environment, without any hint of contest too.

GNOME is great actually

Slow as fuck.

>>106282460 (OP)
No it's still buggy. Fixing crashes and adding new crashes is what they do best. Install dwm or something similar.

>>106284638
It's literally just one Indian assmad that his shitbox can only handle LXDE.

And yet you are here every time, posting in the same broken English every time, and using the same retorts every time. You have fingerprinted yourself so fucking transparently each and every time that I'm half convinced this is a psyop BY the fucking KDE community to make Plasma detractors look like schizos.

>>106282578
No, they're shoved up your arse

>>106287767
>thinks of gay shit
why are kde users such faggots

>>106287793
Dunno, your presence evokes faggoty thoughts.
Besides, I use fluxbox, not GayDE.

>>106287767
>GayDE user is a faggot
Nothing new under the sun

It's sad that the only DE where I can get HDR to work is KDE Plasma. Not a day goes by on Plasma Wayland where I don't feel like I'm walking on eggshells to avoid problems with the DE itself.

>>106282460 (OP)
It's still buggy, but usable

>>106284778
counterpoint, use a stable distro and do the first two
