How do we make KDE good instead of the mess it is today?

fpbp

We stripe it to the essentials and start over.

Works on my machine

>>outdated desktop design
Predates Win10 by a year. 11 is GNOME and I don't see KDE becoming GNOME, no.

>11 is GNOME
lol no

didn't read, not using GNOME

KDE is the lightest usable desktop environment and doesn't look like ChromeOS trash out of the box (unless you want it to) also very feature rich and can replicate Win10 or MacOS effortlessly. I don't think your attention span is being used very well if your first instict is to complain instead of learning the DE

>currently
It had been dogshit for 20 years ever since KDE 4.0 zoomie

But KDE 4 came out 14 years ago

Checked. Ur still wrong tho lol

Whatever kid. But I was there. I saw it happen, the day I installed Fedora Core with new shiny KDE 4.0 and nothing worked. Overnight they deprecated the perfectly working 3.5 and it never came back. The people leading KDE project back then should have never been born.

user, I was there too. I stuck to KDE 3 (on Gentoo) for a long ass time.... before giving up on Linux as a desktop and going back to Windows.
I still think KDE 3.x is the best desktop that has existed to this day. The runner up being KDE 2.x which was also fantastic.
I'm still amazed that 4.0 was pushed out in the state it was in. It took what, like 5, 6 years for KDE to become "stable" again?

4.14, the last fucking release, was stable and they had finally figured out how to make keyring again instead of insisting double password clusterfuck KWallet.

Then they deprecated it and started over ROFLCOPTER TROLOLOLOL

I'm using Windows these days, I gave up on YOLD

werks on my machine

damn that is ugly

Fine i'll bite it.
>really buggy in general and nobody disputes this
literally works on my machine, there were some caveats with wayland but ever since 5.24 they are gone

>MUON software center is crashy
>he uses package manager's GUI

>the file manager is unreliable
Dolphin is unironically one of the better, if not the best file manager available

>has a slow release schedule
and thats bad because?

>devs just keep throwing tons of new stuff at it instead of making it stable
as in contrary to gnome removing features and still being unstable?

>so many settings presented in a convoluted manner instead of keeping it intuitive and simple
I didn't seen any issue in that matter but can you give me an example?

>ugly UI elements like blur and glossy shit all over the place that people try to disable anyway
Just use diffirent style or install Classik

>outdated desktop design
And what's the modern desktop design? If its anything like gnome then i'd rather stick to what's now

>takes forever to make look right because of how many tweaks you have to do
The more customization the better, if anything and idiot-proof easy mode could be introduced

>not many distros use it by default because of the above problems
That's the matter of distros, not the DE itself.

>devs are busy making KDE apps that nobody will ever use like ktorrent I mean have you ever seen anybody use that? nope.
Krita is cool tho.

>software center cant work
does it use packagekit? GEE i wonder why

ayy manjaro
