This week in KDE: everything, I think
  • The problem here is that we are dealing in largely imprecise terms. If we instead turn to semantic versioning for inspiring what we'd consider a large change, then Plasma 5 -> 6 is a big change, breaking previous API.

    The new desktop edit effect is largely irrelevant under this rather precise terminology.

  • This week in KDE: everything, I think
  • I don't think anyone has misunderstood you here. You misunderstood what you wrote in your first comment. The new desktop edit window is not proposing any new functionality that wasn't there, but showcasing it in a more streamlined fashion. That's in itself refining the user experience, which is exactly what you wanted.

  • What are your most overrated album(s)?
  • Some years ago, a friend recommended me the following albums:

    • Atom Heart Mother
    • Animals
    • The Wall
    • Dark Side of the Moon

    I liked some tracks of the last album, but overall none of the albums clicked for me. I am aware they are respected by the wider community, so I guess I didn't get them.

  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • I tried it, but Firefox didn't play some videos. As it turns out, it was an issue with non open source codecs. I'm not helping anyone navigate those issues, I'd rather point them out to a ready to go kind of distribution.

  • KRunner vs Application Launcher (use cases?)

    Lately, I found out that Application Launcher also features all the functionality I use from KRunner.

    In my particular experience, Application Launcher is snappier at first launch and also returns results rather quickly. For me, this begs an obvious question.

    What's the use case for using KRunner over the Application Launcher?

    So far I've noticed that pressing Enter on the Calculator results makes the entry be copied on KRunner, but this does not happen for the Application Launcher. I'm certain there must be something else to it, otherwise people would not be using it (even I found myself using it from time to time, but could not understand why).

    Hey guys,

    Just wanted to tell you that Day/Night Switcher has been finally ported to Plasma 6. I couldn't have done this with the interest by the community on the project's continuation. Anyway, let us all enjoy it.

    I am only posting this in the hopes that old users who moved to Plasma 6 may catch up on the news.
