@onlinepersona “Just don’t make the assumption everybody thinks like you do.” <– just by saying that, you have made the exact same assumption and are requesting (nay, demanding) that status quo is kept. 🤷♂️
@onlinepersona @iturnedintoanewt It would be most effective if you’d take your own advice - If *I* am searching through the start menu, *I* will be looking for applications first, files second and random directories absolutely last.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•Oxygen: hover text not showing correctly
1·2 months ago@albertye Maybe the colour scheme?
I have a similar issue with Chromium with Plasma and the dark MacOS theme

1·2 months ago@caseyweederman @Bro666 that only means one of three things:
a) your sample size of Linux users is too small
b) the echo chamber of Linux users you measure yourself against is too homogeneous (and y’all happen to be nice guys)
or c) you really aren’t a nice guy and you just look down on all Windows users equally.There’s a lot of nice Windows users - and there’s a lot of not-so-nice Linux users. Don’t get confused when measuring up people - judging a whole group from your POV isn’t good at all.
@who @Bro666 Well, it’s good then that your opinion doesn’t matter? No, it’s not too soon. X11 was a WELL KNOWN security risk *30 years* ago. For 30 years I’ve been managing systems, knowing that even an unprivileged compromise might lead to a machine leaking more than a sieve with its mesh missing.
Will it be disruptive? No. Will it change *your* workflow? Sure, at least in part, if you’re a streamer or have some very borderline needs.
X11 is a cancer long overdue.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•You don't need to pay Apple or start a new subscription to unleash your creativity. A thread 🧵
1·2 months ago@bytesonbike @Bro666 No, but a lot of people have said "I can’t create without Photoshop/Final Cut/Logic/Motion - applications that are Apple-first or Apple-only (and some of them, most of them, come from Apple).

Sorry for not having time to sift through 20000+ lines of logs…

*I* would propose to stop using the K everywhere in naming apps.
“It was Kool bacK in the day when KDE was Kaining traKtion” - but now, it’s a *K*luge.
