The risk is low. Your email address is not visible by the general public. A spammer would have to go through a manual registration process to see it. Sounds like a lot of work for a small niche number of email addresses.
Either way, when in doubt, do as suggested: use your spam-catching email address.
there’s not really a substitute for After Effects yet,
Have you tried Natron? This software still needs some serious love, but maybe you can appreciate its potential as tool for people used to AE.
You are moving the goalpost once again. First to be light the DE (i.e. Plasma) had to be light; then the DE had to be light, but not Plasma (?), but your redefinition of DE as in Plasma, plus a random set of apps (Dolphin, Konsole and Kate -- none of which are distributed with Plasma, by the way).
As that also proved to be light, now you are basing your argument on (a) a poll (?) and (b) that there is at least one desktop that is lighter and that does not need swap.
I am perfectly willing to admit the latter, mainly because it is true: there ARE DEs lighter than Plasma. But it is a strawman argument, as admitting that does not invalidate the statement that "Plasma is light" and "KDE'S software is not bloated".
I wish you would stick to one thing and argue in good faith. You seem incapable of that so, I'm done.
What about it?
Reporting bugs is the way to go. They help us make better software for everybody. Thanks!
New versions of Kdenlive are released at regular intervals. When release day comes around, you'll get a notification.
Do not try this on your production computer unless it is on another partition or virtual machine.
In the banner? It is the symbol for Plasma, KDE's desktop environment.
