KDE Long Term Goals and increasing diversity via a coc
Another good one is CDE. Got that old school feel.
i don't care what the race is as long as it's not infected with this poz tbh.
Why do you require this much bloat?
all it has to do is display application windows and organize them in some logical way, and provide a launcher maybe
Yeah, that's precisely why your opinion is invalid
I'm using TDE right now, actually, and a lot of the software that comes with it. Definitely one of the best DEs (I tried all of them at some point, and most of them are complete shit and I can't even understand how there are actual human beings on this planet that use that shit). KDE is really slow and it's kind of a mess overall. TDE is better designed for sure, and good enough, especially on an operating system with retarded devs that can't design a GUI to save their lives and never run out of excuses to not do things correctly. TDE is at least almost as usable as the better versions of Windows, and it does many things a lot better, actually, so that's new.
Another strong point is that it allowed me to get rid of most of the disjointedness of my previous setup, and that you inevitably get from using just a window manager. Having a bunch of software all made by different people, that work in completely different ways, is really annoying. And most of them don't have basic features that I'm used to anyway, and are heavier than their Windows counterparts. I'm not a ricefag, I actually use my computer, and customizing it is not my hobby, so it's nice to finally use something like this after years of trying to make something comfortable and never quite getting there.
I don't understand how people call kde slow when it runs just fine on my 9 year old netbook
The unbeatable feature of KDE for me is how you can show all open windows by moving your cursor to the upper-left corner... any other DE/WM with similar functionality?
I love Xfce because I have minimal hardware and it updates once a decade, so it's pretty much under the radar in terms of shit like this.
Gnome does the same thing.
