Wow, I installed the tiling extension and it's much more pleasant than vanilla kwin.
I first used KDE over 20 years ago, version 2.x. KDE 4 was awful, and I moved to Gnome. Since version 5 I'm back on KDE and most notably, the battery life of my laptop is twice as much! And it's configurable. And beautiful.
- fartcannon 5y agoI've been using KDE since 2.7 and I agree that, at least initially, 4 was awful, but primarily it was awful for the exact reasons Gnome was and is awful - they took away all the powerful functionality. They Apple-ified it. After a few point revisions it was almost back to it's former glory. 5/plasma is basically back to the power of 3.0, but I still miss Konqueror.
- marcosdumay 5y agoWell, Konqueror is still there. Dolphin just got so capable that people don't want to switch anymore, and it was left behind as a browser.
- fartcannon 5y agoI miss the browser. I miss when we cared about KHTML passing the ACID2 tests. I'm quite old now I guess :)
- marcosdumay 5y agoOh, ok. I miss having alternatives too. If it kept up, I probably wouldn't be using Firefox now.
