As silly as it sounds, the new taskbar modification pop up. Dragging the taskbar from one side of the screen to another was a point of jank that took away from the polish of the desktop. The floating panel retaining proper proportions upon maximizing windows is also a nice fix.
I think I’m most looking forward to Plasma becoming more polished overall. I like that this release isn’t completely revolutionary like 4 to 5 was. It’s about removing things that don’t work that well and tightening up what does.
I honestly intend to but haven’t gotten around to it. I’m more comfortable with a one time donation but might look at recurring donations for KDE and Asahi when it makes sense for my budget. I use both daily and both projects are killing it as of late!
Sorry a bit let to reply, but I’m running on M1 Air and Mini. Off the top of my head, built-in microphone doesn’t work and external displays don’t work through USB/Thunderbolt. Was also having trouble getting my audio interface to work even in class compliant mode. Otherwise it’s a very polished and easy experience.
Been daily driving Asahi (first ALARM then Fedora when they transitioned) and it’s been exciting to experience in real time how far the project has come. When I first installed, audio didn’t work, the graphics driver was incomplete, and battery life left a lot to be desired. Skip to today and it’s evident how committed marcan and other contributors are to not just porting, but making everything feel right. Highly suggest following him or Lina on Mastodon.
Bring back anti-trust regulations. Microsoft has been trying to acquire anything they can get their hands on, and really should be dismantled on principle.
Who in their right mind would pay for a dying social media platform? This reeks of desperation from a man trying to convince himself of his own supposed public image.
I miss the depth of gui elements from 2000s desktops. Flat UIs look good, but I’ve been noticing lately some things are just easier to distinguish from the GUIs of yore.
Still scroll reddit for certain communities, but the conversation here is refreshing and I find myself participating more, that's a good thing. Lemmy needs sustained engagement more than a honeymoon phase. We will see once third-party apps shut down.
Wow, I totally forgot about CompUSA. I used to love going there as a kid, back when Apple had that underdog appeal. Now I'm a FOSS maxi (just don't look at my iPhone...).
Stealth. I hate hiding and creeping around waiting for an NPC to move. It's like, "oh, you want to play the game? How about not playing the game instead?" Infuriating.
