I switched from #Manjaro #XFCE to Manjaro #KDE because quite frankly I love KDE. Still wish Kontact was as nice as Evolution though.

So I really thought my next open source project would be a #KDE app, but as it turns out, it's a #RaspberryPi app for the Waveshare e-paper displays.

note that I'm not mentioning #ArchLinux as a flex, it's just the best way to always have the latest #KDE without the problem of all the other software being outdated (like with Neon)

Sometimes I go use my #Fedora computer with #GNOME, or my kid's computer with #Windows 10, and I'm reminded how much I love #KDE on #ArchLinux

Anyone interested in helping me with a #KDE Mastodon app? I'm still a little new to KDE app development, but I'm using Kirigami.

I released a new #KDE theme for #ArchLinux - check it out!

One of the things I love about #KDE is Breeze. KDE is the only desktop environment I'm ever used that I actually like the default theme.

Why are there so few good social apps for #KDE? There's basically just Choqok, which is a resource hog and buggy on top of it. KDE needs a good Mastodon client.

I just switched back to #KDE after using #GNOME for several months, and why did no one tell me the JetBrains IDEs support the KDE global menu?

You know, I've used both #GNOME and #KDE quite a bit, and I find myself always going back to GNOME, and I think it comes down to "GTK+ is a better toolkit than Qt". Some of that comes from my preference for free software, but GTK+ is also just better looking and less visually glitchy than Qt in my experience. The weird thing is, my ideal desktop would be KDE Plasma rewritten to use GTK+ instead of Qt, with mostly KDE apps (except KDE PIM, Kmail is... not good).

Why is it that #GNOME has better, less buggy apps, but #KDE has a better, less buggy desktop?

It blows my mind that #KDE only has Kmail, despite the fact that Kmail is one of the most user-hostile apps I've ever used

I need inspiration, I haven't made a theme in a while. I also have to decide if it'll be a #GNOME or #KDE theme (*maybe* both, if I'm feeling ambitious)

oh my dear sweet Goddess, #KDE 5.21 fixes the long-standing bug where some system tray icons would disappear when you changed icon themes

I'm now dual-booting #kdeneon and #fedora on my laptop, so I can develop apps and themes for both #KDE and #GNOME, I'm pretty excited

I'm back on #KDE neon, after having spent this past couple weeks in #Fedora 33.

Fedora (with GNOME) was a fun distraction, but I definitely missed KDE.

Anyone got any suggestions for a good #KDE app to contribute to for someone who only recently moved from GNOME?

I wonder if #Kubuntu Backports will ever get #KDE Plasma 5.20

Anyone got any good guides on developing for #kde (especially Plasma widgets)?

So I've kinda fallen in love with #KDE after over two decades of being a #GNOME person
