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as a flex, it's just the best way to always have the latest #KDE without the problem of all the other software being outdated (like with Neon)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.
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).
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
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
Anyone got any suggestions for a good #KDE app to contribute to for someone who only recently moved from GNOME?
Anyone got any good guides on developing for #kde (especially Plasma widgets)?
