Weird page

I agree. It's bragging about a bunch of things that either aren't part of KDE or aren't really gaming. It's like if MS made a "Gaming on Windows" page to advertise solitaire, minesweeper, pinball, and Steam.

If Microsoft had 3% market share on Steam, they probably would

I recently learned about Sysrq + f to kill running processes making the computer hang. Before finding about this I had to manually restart the PC via power button. I wonder if KDE should make it easier to enable this feature considering they have something to kill processes already but it’s less powerful than Sysrq.

"Here's KDE on the Steam Deck! On Manjaro. For some reason..."

Plasma is the only good Linux desktop left. Gnome has shit itself, all the other alternative DEs are too feature-poor, and WM "desktops" are for people who have more time on their hands than common sense. I'm just afraid that just like the past, Plasma will discover new ways to screw itself over and become trash again and have to climb back out of being complete garbage back up to usable again.

Are you having a nice rant?

System76’s home-developed DE is going to come out one of these days and join the races

Put some respect on Cinnamon's name

I like cinnamon, but any DE that doesn't support Wayland these days is just shooting itself in the foot. Evolve or fade away, stop hanging onto x11.

Plasma is the best for me also. Ever since GNOME 3 went "convergence," I've been looking for a traditional desktop experience. Xfce, cinnamon, and budgie all have good things going for them. I choose to use KDE because I love the customizability of the desktop and the settings menu is easy to use. The theming is also very nice on KDE.

Default gnome has a great keyboard based workflow or the option for a pointer-device based workflow. It doesn't copy the outdated windows workflow and actually succeeds in pushing its own ideas.
