I hope they follow suit with Plasma styling. As they reckon in the original post, SVG theming is a pita. Not even talking about the very fact that you need a non-qt app to theme qt-related stuff…

CSS/QML was always the way to go.

To add on that I’d look up if there are such thing as kernel seeds for ARM. Back in the day when I got started with Gentoo I managed to find my way compiling the kernel with “pappy’s seeds”

Seems I’m alone here on this but I’m team vis

Maybe someone can get upset by reading that word?

On a serious note, though, on my first semester at graphic design a teacher once told us that some day (here in Bogotá, Colombia) a punk wearing a jacket or something with a struck though swastica waiting for the bus near the uni. Some old lady saw him and the swastica and passed out on the spot. Apparently she was a jewish migrant or something. I never even imagined such things could happen here but the point was to be aware of the things you use in your communications

Apple’s webkit (I think GNOME web is the only other one available for Linux)

iirc one of the options available for web engine in konqueror is webkit - the others being qtwebengine (chromium) and khtml, which is where Apple got webkit from.

Think about a linux installation on a removable usb drive or a CD or DVD.

You won’t install Linux directly in your hard drive or whatever but in a removable device.

With it you can boot your laptop in it and use it almost as if it was actually installed on your laptop. It will let you check for hardware compatibility and that sort of thing. Also it won’t be as smooth as if it was actually installed on your laptop but for the looks of it even that way you would notice a huge difference with whatever you have installed on your laptop right now.

There are many linux flavors to test, and maybe people around here can give you better examples, but at the tip of my tongue right now there’s ubuntu or fedora, which have great hardware support by default.

By what you just told I can’t tell if you have ever tried a live distro with it. I hope you did, or if not, that you pick a distro of your liking and try it with your laptop.

(My PC is about 7 years old and it’s still going as new, so I was shocked reading your comment - I completely forgot Windows/Mac really tax you for “old” hardware)

and they also redesigned their website to look exactly like GNOME’s

Oh. I thought this was just another case of the consequences of the GNOME-ization of GTK but that… probably they want to became part of GNOME.

I just happen to be in the complete opposite. I think it’s better because I like it and it lets me to do what I want to do without getting in the way.

The one I’ve been using for the last 17 years, Gentoo

I have always heard not to use antivirus on Linux

I’ve never heard anything like that, and if it’s true it’s really bad advice, to be honest. It’s not that you shouldnt’ use an antivirus on Linux, but an extra of security is not bad because shit happens and with its popularity increasing Linux can face security challenges in the future.

Still if you know what you’re doing you can do just fine without an antivirus.

I think it’s better for Linux to grow its base organically and the best advertisement for it is its own quality. But maybe that’s just me.

I’ve never used it but since it’s basically a kwin script I’d bet you can change them in system settings, like in system settings -> keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts -> Window management (or however it is named in english) -> look up for krohnite

E: Or maybe, just maybe, in its entry in the Kwin scripts section - System settings -> Window management (or however it is named in english) -> Kwin scripts -> Krohnite -> Click or tap the cog button -> maybe there should be something related to keyboard shortcuts

Some people love whatever Mac/Windows does in UI for some reason. Most popular and downloaded themes on opendesktop.org are almost always whatever that resembles Mac/Windows for this reason.

Pretty sure there should be some nonprofit that will gladly get and assemble them so i.e. children on remote places can have a computer.

Comments complaining how everything takes time to compile in Gentoo are kind of funny, do you really need everything to be installed asap?

That being said, Gentoo indeed is not for everyone. I’ve been using it for +15 years and am really happy with it - almost zero maintenance and it’s super stable. The crux is the time it takes to be installed and people hold a weird grudge against it just for that.

But at the same time there are more distros oferring pretty much the same, i.e. your own arch.

Never got into the tiling wm craze, but since I found out about Gnome’s PaperWM thought it was much better than tiled and traditional wms and wanted something like that for KDE. Even was thinking about doing it by myself until one day learned someone else did it and much better than I would

It seems pretty active to me

TIL about DDG Lite. Thank you
