Amen. KDE4 was a disaster in the beginning. I toughed it out then. I was in academia and could spend some hours dealing with breakage.
When Ubuntu shipped KDE5, normal usability stuff broke horribly again. Nowadays I have two kids and a job managing a large IT organisation. I simply can't defend spending the time any more. So I switched to xfce for the time being. Of that breaks the UI in any comparable way, I give in to the hordes that keep ridiculing me for not using a Mac. :(
- reitanqild 10y agoHonest question: What do yo mean by "normal usability stuff broke horribly again"? I'm using Neon now and it is one of the least annoying distros and DEs I have ever worked with.
- smueller1234 10y agoTotally fair question. Sorry for not being more specific. All multi monitor and docking/undocking broke in seemingly random ways. That's despite giving state transitions ample time (ie. not detaching a screen and then immediately closing the laptop to put it to sleep). Also I was bit by the bug that somebody else mentioned here: the panels would disappear with sweet reliability. If I remember correctly, this was a bug that would hide the existing dock. So if you simpy recreated it, you'd have two running side by side, and so on. There was more but I don't remember specifics. The screen issues were enough to be a big practical problem for me. Edit: speeling
- reitanqild 10y agoThanks! I don't use docking and rarely use multiple monitors so that might explain a bit of the difference in experience.
