Activities fit my use case perfectly. Work apps / wallpaper / widgets on the Work Activity, Steam and Gaming stuff on Gaming, Multimedia (Plex, Elisa, qBitorrent etc) on it's activity. I think Activities get no love simply because people don't understand the difference between virtual desktops and activities. Of course, back when KDE came with pre-made templates it was an easier concept to understand.Originally posted by sheldonl View PostComment

Works for a small portion of the user base. Doesn't work for the majority of other users, which is why it doesn't get any love. If the majority of KDE users don't understand it, then how can we expect new users coming from Windows or Mac to understand it? - We can't, b/c it's not sufficiently differentiated from virtual desktops for most people to understand the value. IMO, it should either be ripped out completely, moved into an "advanced" control panel or even it's own thing all together, or significantly enhanced. I would argue that if you keep it, it should merge it (from the users perspective in the UI) with virtual desktops, with a one-click setting to "sync all virtual desktops" so that it functions just like virtual desktops. (In which case, under the covers it would just be normal virtual desktops, but as soon as you want to customise one of the "virtual desktops" it's treated like an activity - but from the user UI perspective, there is no difference between Virtual Desktops and Activities.)Originally posted by BangoMopar View Post
Significantly enhanced would mean more differentiation via deeper integration into applications, starting with the KDE apps. Things like remembering on a per activity, per application basis:- Recently opened files
- The last directory you browsed in that activity when saving or opening files
- Different application settings per activity
- Remembering and restoring window layouts and open applications on a per activity basis, etc.
Maybe it does some of these things now, but last I used activities a couple of years ago it did not.Last edited by sheldonl; 29 November 2021, 10:17 AM.Comment

An amazing response!Originally posted by BangoMopar View Post
Twice now I've requested proofs that the taskbar in KDE5 can hold plasmoids the way XFCE does and offers the same level of customizability and instead of doing that you're insulting me?
No wonder Linux and the Linux community remain an absolute shithole in the eyes of many unrelated people.
Luckily your insults show who you really are, not that I'm wrong.Comment

Does this qualify for you to call yourself a liar? Then with a straight face please do so here in this thread, for all to see, just like you do call others a liar so easily.Originally posted by avem View Post

If you love XFCE so much, I'm not sure why you're even here. However some here have attempted to illustrate what you're DEMANDING KDE provide you in the way that you want, if for no other reason than to not be called a lair...Originally posted by avem View PostComment

Think what you like. Negative feedback is a contribution, by the way. Plasma5 has got 10k+ open bugs across the suite right now. And 10 000 is simply upper hard limit bugzilla's search engine gave out results to. Maybe time to fix them, instead of adding features..?Originally posted by BangoMopar View Post
I like Plasma5, don't get me wrong. But using it is not seamless and pleasant operation by far. Doing something in it leads you to some crash/bug sooner rather than later, always.Last edited by aht0; 29 November 2021, 04:31 PM.Comment

Quite puzzling, right? You request proof, people don't rush to oblige. Let me guess: you're not having an easy life, are you?Originally posted by avem View Post
As I have said above, you have a point about widgets and usability, but the way you convey it is as bad as it gets.Comment

Insults should not be tolerated.
That said avem hardly misses an opportunity to be unpleasant.
By the way ngraham didn't lie, nor he refused to listen.
More than one instance of the System Monitor applet can be added to the taskbar to show different info.
I'd argue that some of those configurations are quite broken, but that can be fixed.
If one doesn't like the applets provided by default they can try a couple of third party ones, like:Also, not providing a screenshot doesn't "most likely mean" anything.
Even if he gave you the screenshot, what guarantee would you have that it would work on your machine as well?
I mean, it's Linux, you can never be sure
