KDE Squashes Many "Annoying" Bugs As It Works To Improve The Desktop's Reliability.

- Formatting, compare, etc: NotePad++ with Wine, because no TXT file editor on UNIX provides all NotePad++ features. Usage inherited from when my workstation was still running Windows years ago. NotePad++ is the only app I use with Wine.

I use SublimeTEXT. Yes, it's paid, non-FOSS, but it beats everything else I've tried so far. Just my 2 cents…

Can you actually read? "Oh, wait, most of them do not work at all in the taskbar (look atrocious and are not customizable at all)."

Bro u made a bug report like 3 years ago that wasn't actually a bug report it was just you complaining and ignoring everything the devs were saying in response and ur salty that no one cared about it

dude

They must be wrong, everyone knows that KDE, or any open source software for that matter, has no bugs, it's perfect, flawlessly coded the first time and definitely not bloated and illogically laid out. /s

I wonder if they fixed the issue pointed out by Linus of LTT. Like can bee seen in the attached screenshot. This is an example of horrific UI design. If not, perhaps I should file bug report.

This is Manjaro specific software, you should report it there

I don't want to trigger anyone, but I think that KDE is the objectively best DE. Also Gnome and Cinnamon are really really bad.

Every single thing requested in that bug report is available today with System Monitor and Weather applets. Yes, when added to a panel.

You just proved his point; for all the great things you do, when you don't want to you guys just won't listen/read.
The guy has made the legit complaint that once you moved on to widgets, you forgot they must be usable in the panel, too. Having to keep revealing the desktop to look at widgets is disruptive to any workflow. And to that you reply by referring him to System Monitor which not even a widget.
And that excuse that you don\t handle new widget requests because of lack of resources is just lame. You guys had plenty of time to rewrite the many useful resource monitoring widgets into one, big unusable widget.

You should seriously consider a text only/overview/summary mode or something like that for widgets to make them usable in the panel. And for widgets that don't support that (there are practical reasons), just remove the possibility to put them in the panel in the first place. The panel is always there, you just can't beat having all the info at a glance.

Edit: showing load for 12+ individual cores at once in the system tray is a PITA, I'll give you that.

Good luck reproducing the XFCE panel look from the bug report.

"Available today" yet no screenshot will be provided.

Sorry, last time I tried KDE Neon half a year ago most of the things weren't available which most likely means you're lying.
