Thanks The great thing about open source project is that you've the ability to get the source code and change things you didn't like. So if you aren't satisfied with the way KDE does it you are able to either contribute to the project and integrate features / options you and other like or make a fork of it and you're able to create and remove every single piece of code. Expecting that KDE which is developed completely voluntary has the same user experience than Windows or MacOS is given that kind of sorry to say, stupid. Overall I think KDE does a very good job e.g. with the system settings where you can edit directly all the settings of your system (what else should you do), compared to WIN11 where you sometimes still have to use the system control from WIN7. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
