- pooper 10y agoI use KDE (in fact typing this in Kubuntu Xenial) but my main criticism is that KDE would definitely not pass a hallway testing. Here's an example: switch the desktop theme to oxygen. Suddenly, something as mundane as switching airplane mode on and off with the default panels becomes crazy difficult because you can't see the images next to the check box (oh and for some reason all check boxes look like square radio buttons now). I'm sure KDE works great for the people who have used it for years but they don't have newcomers complaining about usability or they don't listen to newcomers complaining about usability.
- stiGGG 10y agoI completely switched to GNU/Linux when 3.0 came out. It was quite unstable, not very polished but extremely promising. With the further releases it always gots better and with 3.5 it was almost completely stable and polished, only details had to be improved. Everything was so integrated and with some easy configurations it could look so damn beautiful for the time. Then was 4.0 and everything was destroyed. It was extremely unstable, missed so many features, gots ugly and everything new felt only wrong :-( I left the club at 4.3 or so and bought my first mac where i am still caged. Tried 5.8 some weeks ago and still can't live with it, so sad... :-(
