(Then and now I mentally consider giving the KDE desktop a try again, that's a repeating loop every few years. And sometimes, out of the blue and more or less around the same time, I receive a notification from their bug tracker, hinting me that one of these usability issues that got into my way literally a dozen of times a day, that wasn't easily or in a pleasant way to circumvent and that seems to have been caused by a mix of lack of attention to details and technical complexity to do it righ - or just "random design" and not using things at all in the first place - is still left open and being discussed more than five years later and I'm sure I'll stay where I am.) #technology and its amazing consequences #kde #rant but only half

@pikzim There are four or five of them but this one - bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4… - is the one I've been notified about, earlier today. I've been on GNOME for most of the last years and some issues more painful issues in KDE (bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4… and subsequently bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4… which I fail to debug and which makes the system annoying to use in my setup) kept me from really being there, but it's these minor usability aspects, issues one thinks they either should be easy to workaround in code or not there at all if developers actually used the code they are building but maybe that's biased and just me.

@pikzim I've been on a more difficult setup for quite a while (and still am), like: HiDPI laptop display, LoDPI external screen on a dock at home, HiDPI huge monitor in the office. Office display left of the laptop, home display right of the laptop. This just worked out of the box with GNOME on Fedora ever since 39, I think, and it completely messed up KDE at least twice a week, to a point where at worst most of my screen configuration was completely gone apart from the background image and I didn't even manage to start a terminal because key bindings failed to work too. 🙈
