A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

That's because Microsoft stole so much from KDE ^^

Oh really? I was unaware lol.

Yes, the KDE twitter account even mocked Microsoft's for some of their latest 'innovations'.

Well, ultimately, I'm glad that something open source is wagging the dogs tail, I assumed it was the other way around.

Yes and no, it's mean that the creativity and innovation of people at KDE is taken without credit. But on the other hand it shows that their features are really great...

BTW they not only copied ideas but also KDE Plasma's slogan "Simple by default, powerful when needed."

Yeah, I was reading about that. It's a shame about the credit, but hey, what do we expect.
