I don't mind the K per se. It's great branding! But the specific apps shown on kde.org are Krita, Kdenlive (needs a pronunciation guide), Kontact (looks painfully asymmetric), Kdevelop, GCompris (needs an explanation, a pronunciation guide, and looks like GNOME branding).
We don't have the same opinion on what looks good and what doesn't. That's fine - but I wish someone from "my side" had tried to build a KDE-based distro. I've found some KDE distros with alternative theming, but nothing that leans towards the elementary/Apple style.
- Symbiote 5y agoKDE's theming support means you don't need a distribution to build anything, you install the themes yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX_gQTQLUZc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX_gQTQLUZc
- gurkendoktor 5y agoNot bad, but right at 9:10 in the video, you have white text on a bright translucent background with terrible contrast (in the widget list). This is not an issue with this particular theme... Building a theme that looks great across the operating system, including common third-party apps, is an endless game of whack-a-mole that requires a dedicated team. I guess I wish Ubuntu had picked KDE as its replacement DE, I really liked their theme around 20.04, and they put a lot of work in the details (like just getting desktop icons back).
