KDE Developers Begin Working More On Plasma 5.20 Changes

Nice Joke but not funny as some people really believe that in their bubble.

It's not a joke. Windows is usability disaster and resource hog.

it is the year 2020. i've been using unix since 1982. i've been using linux since the late 90's (daily). and i'm *still* waiting for a desktop environment that can save my open applications, their screen position and sizes, and their virtual root window placements as part of a persistent session. i'm old. and at this point i feel like i'm going to kick the bucket before this ever happens :-).

Well, then you're waiting for the wrong thing to happen. The DE cannot restore your app by itself, the DE does not know about application's data. In order for restore to work, each and every app has to cooperate. As has been the case for years, some do and some don't. I don't see that changing, but that's not the DE's fault.

In my case, KDE restores Konsole (with tabs), Firefox, Krusader just fine. IntelliJ Idea/Android Studio, not so much; I think it misses some open files from time to time. That's what I use most of the time.

Yes, just like KDE. But at least windows isn't based on Qt.

Too much hyperbole; the cheapest CPUs from both AMD and Intel can more than handle Plasma. And even if they couldn't; there are other DEs that focus more on minimalism. Plasma is for graphical power-users.

Yes, everybody is free to use what they want. But Plasma and Gnome are monsters.

Your opinion is nightmare.
