first they laugh at you, then you win (c) windows vista
lmao, it's everywhere:
this is legible text and a fair representation of our design - real company evaluated in trillions
coming to kkkde near you in 5 years
At least I'll be able to disable it in KDE
it's optional on apple as well, seems like addition to dark theme or something (at least on phones? mac is confusing, can't find mentions if it's optional)
it's not optional.
The transparency effect is definitely optional. They've always had accessibility settings for transparency related stuff.
Uh oh what did KDE do? 😢
oh nothing 😅 but they are sometimes influenced by commercial designs
Overengineered by Germans
, over-complex UI and unstable (I blame the C++). Little vision except "similar to Windows but with more options".
Originally, Qt (the GUI library KDE uses) was proprietary and it still (I think) is corporate and not community-run, though it is now free software and has been for a long while. The people who started the project apparently didn't care much about that, though I guess some people put in significant effort later to convince whatever corporate entity was in charge of Qt at the time (I think Trolltech) to release under dual LGPL/proprietary license. Gnome was basically started as a fully free software alternative to KDE.
Otherwise it's fine, definitely has a target audience who love that shit, and it also doesn't deserve being called KKKDE.
This is all literally true (except that the toolkit isn’t proprietary any more) but the alternative is gnome so it doesn’t really matter.
