Linux is just a colonel.

>>106960052 (OP)
working as intended, if you were a PRO you would use the terminal

>>106960052 (OP)
Change it on the settings to how you want

I swear KDE has to be a ploy to make GNU/Linux look bad.

This pretty much sums up the linux desktop experience in 2025. Somewhat strange how things were more concise in linux 15+ years ago than now.

For those who just clicked this thread because Windows search sucks (which it does), go get Everything. It'll let you search filenames with near-instant results, but the reason it's so fast is because it doesn't search file content.

Wiki link since that's less shady than just linking to VoidTools:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_(software)

Hell if I know what the best alternative desktop search for Linux is, but I have to imagine that there's no shortage of people who have taken a crack at it.

>>106960216
Seconding this. I use Everything all the time.

Thanks a lot konqi very convenient

KDE is bad because it copies windows. Use rofi instead.

>>106960201
it takes 5 seconds and then it works forever. i setup artix over the weekend and i havent really made any changes in like 2 years beyond installing some new software. i waste a lot less time using linux because everything works exactly how i need it to and it isn't slow and bloated and it isn't constantly getting worse. you are just a close minded baby duck who is scared of learning something new

sovl, thanks dude

linux has the worst search on the planet

>>106960307
you wish it was this smart
its cause "command prompt" is one of its keys but the retards (Nate) at KDE don't see an issue with keys being prioritized over THE FUCKING PROGRAM NAME

>>106961104
Enjoy your malware :)

>>106961104
There's something to be said for a front-end that's literally just a toolbar, textbox for entering your search term, and a big list of results.

Shit looks like it could've been released on Windows XP... which, well, is probably because it was released in 2004.

Just use GNOME you fucking retard.
Starting to think all the seething retards shitting on Linux were retarded and picked the KDE flavor of their distros instead of the default GNOME experience.

Needing to use search at all in order to find installed applications should be considered a critical UI design failure.

>>106961503
Wrong. GNOME does it and it heems literally every UX I've seen. I do the same on Windows as well, but I have to be careful because of the retarded Internet search feature. Just because KDE and most other DEs are trash, doesn't mean it's a bad workflow.

>>106960052 (OP)
Yeah plasma is so fucking bad, I type pow and it gives me libreoffice instead of power options so i can disable screen timeout that is also something that should not exist on a desktop DE.

>>106960393
>it isn't slow and bloated and it isn't constantly getting worse
well it definitely is it's just going slower than windows or mac. Compare Windows 7 to Ubuntu 9.10. They're more similar to each other in bloat and shittiness than either are to Windows 11 or latest Linux

>>106961537
i don't know why you're pretending you don't know why it's doing that

>>106960201
No you obese faggot nigger. Just go con the apps settings and change it.

>>106961464

>>106961464
I use it all the time, it works great. I don't want them to change a single thing about it.

>use GNOME
>real time search for programs, directories, files any number of levels deep (covers the entire depth atleast for me)

realistically GNOME is the best DE for me if not for the consistent increase in roundedness in every GTK release or shitadwaita release or whatever it is
if ebussy can help fix the horrendous round corners or introduce a feature to adjsut roundedness from 0 to wtv they want then i am totally

>usecase for rounded corners ??
yeah as expected

>Another thread where someone bitches about the most minute things with Linux
Is this because Pewdiepie pushed Linux on all the kids and now their impatient zoomie brains are struggling to do something that takes a modicum of thought?

With no further opportunities and chances of promotion in sight.

If I type "firefox" too fast on Windows™, it opens Edge™ with a Bing Search™ with Firefox instead of opening Firefox.

>>106961503
Linux scatters your installed software into a million different system folders.

>>106964701
All executables should be in your PATH.

>mkdir programs
>cd programs/
>window title becomes "user@~/programs/"
>search tool includes open window titles
so this thread is about cool KDE features?

>>106960052 (OP)
What's Windows search?

found your issue

>>106962754
Let's be real, looking LE OLD is an upside these days.
There's so damn many apps that just bury their functionality behind inoffensive simplification.

>>106964630
You can turn this off in Windows 10, and I'd hope you can still turn it off in Windows 11. Although I think it might need a registry edit so, y'know, it's rough.

Also I heard that they're changing it so that Windows 11's taskbar just makes Copilot try to find the thing for you, which... what the fuck, Microsoft?

Not my problem.

>Linux users see nothing wrong with their desktops behaving like their fucking phone.

Fucking trannies.

>>106964916
It's the opposite in this case. This paradigm existed long before mobile phones were in wide use.

>>106964937
Don't care, it's awful. The file system is terrible. Windows is based around DOS which was based around CP/M that was invented by the man who pioneered micro computing with some of the very first microchips before people thought computing would be possible to do on them.
Linux was made by a scandi, and they all suck cocks. Finland is a scandi nation btw, don't let them tell you it's not.
