Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
I don’t power it off.
Then again I only let it sleep a couple hours at a time at most, since I know I’m using it again soon. It’s not like you lose half the battery by doing that, and the whole point of the fast suspend and resume is so you can stop and go while on the go.
If I’m leaving it overnight, then I power off.
It seems your point is to shit on KDE, in contrast to MacOS. But since you don’t actually know the current state of either, you’re just making a fool of yourself.
Good day.
And has been the MacOS way for a while now, too.
What was your point, again?
It is.
That MacOS doesn’t display the scrollbar except while scrolling, does not reduce the height of the total list.
Both have search fields for good reason.
Don’t be difficult.
You really cannot argue that the layout, and hence how people would actually navigate it is not “about the same”. Your words.
To bring up a cosmetic difference is a nitpick. It’s the breeze theme, with a personal color scheme on top, not something explicitly made to look like MacOS. Which it could be.
You really haven’t checked lately, then.
The video has been recorded, but is not out yet. Linus talked about it on the latest WAN show and on social media.
KDE can be set up such that a ex-mac-user barely has to re-learn anything.
The difference is that while gnome looks a lot like MacOS, it isn’t exactly like it in terms of layout. An ex-mac-user will look for certain things in certain places, and won’t always find them. (such as power off/restart being up in the left corner)
Meanwhile, the customizability of the KDE desktop means you can manually put the same things in the same places as on MacOS. You can put a krunner search button in the same spot as the spotlight search button. You can make a panel that behaves like the dock, floating and shrinking to fit the number of icons in it. You can have a top panel with a power menu on the left end, and you can display a global menu to the right of it. Even the krunner keybind is the same, and spotlight people tend to pickup krunner like nothing.
Finally, the KDE settings application seems to be the most similar to the modern MacOS settings application.
The big caveat being that the user will need someone who can instruct them with setting this up, or who can set it up for them.
Gnome is closer out of the box.
But you can make KDE work almost exactly like macOS. The top bar context menu, power menu, bottom dock, left-hand window buttons, etc.
It just involves changing a bunch of settings.
You can also just hook your phone up via usb and enable usb tethering, allowing the PC to use wifi or mobile broadband via the phone.
I made one with sound.

SEE NINTENDO?! IT’S NOT THAT HARD!!
Looks like in plasma 5 you need to mess with .desktop files placed in ~/.local/share/templates/
It’s not a dotfolder. It has to be “Templates” not “.Templates”.
Hence my follow-up on how to hide it.
If you’d like to hide the Templates folder, you can create a file called “.hidden” in your home directory.
In it, simply write “Templates”.
This way the folder becomes hidden, without changing its name to add a period.
You can add additional lines with more file and foldernames, so you can keep your home directory tidy for normal use, even if stuff relies on a file or folder there not having a period in the name.
To add more file creation options, you use a Templates folder.
Just create a folder named “Templates” in your home directory. Then use rnote to save an empty rnote file in that directory.
Your right click menu to create new files should now get an option to “create” rnote files (which are really just copies of the file in the Templates folder).
You can add whatever types of files you want in Templates, and they don’t have to be empty.
I don’t think it’s an instancing problem.
It’s not like reddit doesn’t have duplicate communities for some things. People set out to do the same thing. It happens, and that’s fine.
Sometimes they find each other, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they combine their efforts, sometimes they compete.
Same as individual posts. The good rises and grows, the bad is forgotten and disappears.
It’s not even ducttape.
It’s that paper masking tape that falls apart if you sneeze on it.
So THAT’S what the indent in the case is for!
