Back to #KDE#Plasma.
The occasional bugs "bugged" me, so I went to #xfce, but I found its limited keyboard controls... limiting.
I tried #Gnome for about five minutes and ran screaming for the hills. :D
@RL_Dane On KDE since 1999 here, apart from a short period when I was running Ubuntu. 😉
I recognize the feeling: I'm feeling out of my depth using anything else.
(Coincidentally, about 20 years after I started using it, I became a KDE developer, which still feels surreal. 😀)
@RL_Dane I'm just a lowly app developer. 😀
I'm the lead dev for @kasts, a podcast client. I started developing it to have a Linux alternative/clone for #AntennaPod on desktop and mobile Linux, and it got adopted by KDE.
@RL_Dane@kasts The "special" thing about #Kasts is that it can sync play positions and subscriptions with other clients like #AntennaPod through gpodder or gpodder-nextcloud. So you can switch between devices and pick up playback from the point you left it on the previous device.
I guess if I spent the time to learn how to bend it to my will, but man, that would take a long time. Something as simple as super+right-click to resize windows I couldn't figure out how to do.
Plasma is buggy at times, but still rather pretty (especially with @niccolove's awesome floating panels) and just SUUUUPER flexible/customizable.
But hey, to each their own. Enjoy Linux your way! :D
@RL_Dane meta-leftclick and meta-rightclick are available in Gnome Tweaks, along with a lot of other quality of life things (like control instead of capslock and the compose key assignment). I have it tweaked so most key and mouse combos are the same as in sway. @sfb@niccolove
@RL_Dane@sfb yeah, same as CDE and a bunch of other oldies. Time doesn't stand still and some the "good old" stuff we remember never was good in the first place.
