It’s not what I’m saying. KDE releases untested and buggy builds to stable. It makes it unstable software. If you’re a KDE fan, I understand, but don’t reject objective facts.
I use Arch based distros btw.

It really isn’t, at least in my experience. And I have an Nvidia card!
Oh then it makes sense why you argued. However it’s important to keep in mind that experience can vary among users. For example, in my case Plasma was very unstable on an Intel iGPU.
All software beyond a moderate complexity has bugs.
Not an excuse tbh.
I meant reliability. It’s bad if you use ANY feature besides virtual desktops and app opening. In my understanding “stability” is stability of ALL features of the program, no matter how rarely they’re used.
2024, mister/miss, and I’m talking about Plasma 6.
Hyperland seems to be bullying someone in the bleachers, but it’s hard to see exactly what’s going on there.
Report it is.
You didn’t mention KDE’s lack of any adequate stability. That’s what makes it incomparable to GNOME. They serve completely different use cases.
Afaik the most stable DEs on Linux are GNOME and Xfce. I don’t see many advantages of MATE so Xfce is my preferred option. MATE has a better app selection though.
I believe Jerboa uses default theme implementation provided by Google. It’s embedded into one of the source code files. Making the app themable requires changing that implementation to an external config file based one. It can cause security vulnerabilities.
I guess it’s time to create a GitLab account.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it just me or do you guys miss these type of skeuomorphic icons?
42·1 year agoNo. Old UI is terrible. The newest UI with extremely rounded corners is bad too but I’d much rather use it than old stuff.

Linux@lemmy.ml•This Week in Plasma: Everything You Wanted and More
56·1 year agoKDE has never been stable for me. I can find a bug within 10 minutes if I search properly. On the other hand, GNOME is stable for me as long as I don’t use sus extensions.
EDIT: just create a very wide vertical panel and try to move a clock widget in and out of it. Sometimes it’ll just disappear and often it will crash Plasma.

Is decent stability included? I very much doubt so.

Jerboa@lemmy.ml•can I block certain keywords from showing up on my posts on jerboa/lemmy account ?
3·1 year agoThat’s what I want too and I’m afraid such a feature is not implemented yet. You can try to open an issue, find a different client or switch to Mastodon because I know some of its clients have the feature (though it works unreliably sometimes).

I meant other companies but ok.

13·1 year agoWhy collect such data though? And you can call some Big Tech telemetry completely anonymous too if you trust their explanations.

Wait but it hasn’t been 2 years yet!


The part where it says that it makes it stable and also the part where it says that GNOME is unstable.
