KDE Developers Are Busy Polishing Plasma 5.19

I am waiting for you to arrive on my Tumbleweed, Plasma is always more fantastic!

I guess the "standard desktop" guy is busy tucking his stuff?

You like war, don't you?

KDE Plasma is for people who just want a nice looking functional desktop similar to Windows but nothing hidden or off-limits in tweaking department.
GNOME is for people who for some reason or another think tabletized touch screen looking desktops is better....

War Started!

No, no war. As a Gnome user, I agree with you. That’s exactly what I want.

Ironically, I think GNOME has problems to work properly on its intended target, a touchscreen.
Purism is fixing this though.

Two YouTube reviews of the beta version. Looks exciting. Both reviewers do not realize that now Plasma has very many "themes" that change everything. Cinnamon has extensions also that imitate Plasma properties.

More oil to the fire:
Gnome is like those mobile apps with very basic interface with 3 buttons and without any real functionality.

Colored Konsole tabs can be very useful. Redesigned widgets can also be nice, but I need to see them first. gg

So much blasphemy and 144Hz is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps covid19 is deadly after all?

What I still don't get is why some people think KDE has too many settings for Windows users, even though Windows has tons of settings as well, so those users are already accustomed to having many settings...
