Personally, I found the opposite to be true. Given more and more applications require constantly polling backend server (not only social apps, e.g. a TODO list, note-taking application, a time tracker, etc.) I much more prefer this behavior being the default.
That said, I still like KDE Plasma more than macOS as a desktop. But this and the proxy icons are two things that I missed the most.

Why are desktop versions of TODO lists, note-taking applications, and time trackers constantly polling the server in the background? Social apps and web apps I understand.
- sirn 4y agoI personally do not like using web apps and usually try to use desktop version whenever possible. Of these examples: - Obsidian for note taking. Configured to sync with Obsidian Sync. - OmniFocus as my personal GTD. Configured to sync with Omni Sync Server, and also sync to my phone (though on Linux I use OmniFocus for Web) - Clockify (Desktop) for time tracking. Required for work.
- messe 4y agoWell, on macOS, my note-taking, reminders and calendar apps all sync with my phone and tablet. Having it poll in the background means I don't need to wait for it to sync when I next open it.
