Just ran through that list of bugs and don’t see my issue that happens all the time. I guess I’ll have to add a ticket.
My bug is when minimizing and restoring windows (fedora plasma 6 latest version), the first time or two it is smooth, but a few more times and it gets really jerky. It acts like a memory leak somewhere.
It can be a theme or a plugin issue.
Finally,
~/Templatessupport!!It’s a great addition. It’s a surprisingly powerful aspect of gnome that nobody, not even Gnome, ever seem to talk about.
They really should place a text file in that folder to explain how it works (and of course exempt it as being used as a template)
You mean one of those 6 folders that I delete as soon as I start up a new install?
Yeeeees!
Oh thank you, finally. KDE connect has been pretty much useless since its Inception because of these things
I used it like 10 minutes ago lol, it is indeed useful and just got an upgrade.
I think this is a YMMV kind of thing because it has always worked for me.
I don’t really get why the KDE guys still insist on this atrocious lack of padding / spacing between UI elements. Even Microsoft figured this out by now.
Because you can customize all of that
Defaults matter, most people never bother customizing.
Skill issue
Not for KDE which aims to be good for beginners.
Yeah sorta. First you gotta know what the problem is, good luck getting the average user to figure out the UI looks off because of the padding. Then you gotta know where and how you need to change it to make it better.
Customizing is cool for power users that like to fiddle with their settings, however it can't replace good defaults; not that I have anything against the defaults in this case...
Agreed. The great defaults in Plasma definitely are a major draw for me.
Yes, I can’t begin to express how much I love 5 cm of whitespace between every setting on Windows Settings pages.
Thanks, Microsoft.
Some people (like me) like having a more compact layout
.
You say this in the comments of a blogpost where they are precisely doing that
Lots of people seem to be using it fine daily
Maybe you need to switch distro and check your hardware
Or if you’re getting lots of crashes, contribute code or money to get them addressed. Otherwise it’s clear your priorities aren’t straight
Don’t see mention of fixes for the resume-from-sleep bugs that have been around since at least 6 :'(
