Only a blind man could think that MacOS’ design approach is the same as KDE’s.

Yeah sure. One needs to wade through dialogs for three days every time they want to change something, that’s the Windows and KDE way!

TIL the amount of things to twiddle is a ‘cosmetic difference’.

Yeah, that scrollbar on KDE doesn’t inspire confidence.

KDE will never work the same as MacOS until its control panel looks about the same as MacOS’ system preferences app. Idk what it’s like now, but back in my day KDE’s settings looked more like Windows’ registry editor, and KDE was obviously influenced by Windows while Gnome 2 was influenced by MacOS.

I remapped alt to ctrl as God intended, and ‘windows’ and the context-menu keys to alt. Coincidentally, the ctrl keys stopped working on my laptop for some reason, but if they worked, I’d map them to ‘super’ and put some obscure os-wide functions on there, like enabling/disabling Bluetooth. Or would just switch to English and my language with one press of a particular key.

I prefer the same PS layout, but some other people complain about the left stick not being under the ‘default’ thumb position, and thus like Xbox controllers more.

It’s the all-time great PS controller, except I can’t actually hold the bottom protrusions in my hands.

What’s not to like? Just don’t hold the controller with your hands like you would normally do!

Thanks for the explanation. As it happens, one of my irks about the Windows version of Transmission is that it doesn’t remember the position of the torrent-properties window. I want the list on the left, the details on the right — particularly since Transmission reuses the details window, essentially treating it as a pane. This worked splendidly on MacOS.

macOS are even worse in this regard IMO. Everything is just totally inconsistent

Why do you mention macOS if you haven’t used it?

Hold on, so I can’t run Transmission that has the torrent list in one window and torrent details in another window? Only one single window per app? What insanity is this.

Every app I know opens a window for the preferences, how is this solved in Wayland? Even just the typical Explorer-style file manager requires multiple windows to function. And of course, I always have a dozen Firefox windows open.

Thankfully, not much difference between those, eh.

For spoken English, I greatly recommend audiobooks and podcasts. They typically have better narrators, so are easier to understand. As a bonus, one can listen to them while doing household chores and such — for me, consumption of books greatly increased with audiobooks compared to snatches of books here and there.
