@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social the ultimate jab would be shelling out an ad on Windows so to advertise the adlessness of KDE π

I want to create some Ads that make fun of Ad platforms
Can I pay KDE to put ads in all that empty space?
/s
@maniacalmanicmania @kde You could create an addon to include "suggested recommendations" in the app list, just saying!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Also no spyware and bloat. and all the source code freely available.. Million times better. π
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social If Windows 12 copies the floating Taskbar/panel I'd laugh at how much Windows 11 and later ripped off from KDE Plasma and how poorly it was done! π
Bought a laptop with Win 11. Finally couldn't take it, and had to install Ubuntu.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Using KDE Plasma on the Steam Deck is such a nice experience.
Looks nice. Can you modify a lot of things?
It's Linux, and KDE at that. Yes you can customize pretty much everything.
You can customize shit you didn't even know existed.
To a genuinely disturbing and annoying degree.
The default customization is ~windows levels, but radical Linux desktops have some completely insane shit going on, customizing things you didnt even notice existing in truly weird ways. Anybody want to post some?

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social also no telemetry data! Unless yopu choose so, I did but only a little.
Love β₯ my KDE environment.
Unless you literally opt in!
Opt in??! Before you know it, you're going to suggest that we start to respect our users!!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I thought Windows already had ads in the start menu ever since Windows 8 and Windows 10.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social i absolutely love KDE plasma and it's gotta be my most favourite DE (and i especially adore krunner), but honestly, all of the DEs are good! (LXQt my beloved too)
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Maybe you should add an (removable) app showing adds linke Windows, so people coming from MS Windows feel more "at home" -- later they can remove the ads and even be more happier then ever!
I'm really curious to know which version of KDE Microsoft was copying that gave them the idea to insert ads in the first place....
It miss all the different fullscreen popups about choosing edge, Windows Update reboot now or i will do it anyway things.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is there any distro for Raspberry Pi with KDE? Iβd love to give it a try ππ»
You can install KDE on Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian). Just download the 'Lite' image, flash and install e.g. kde-plasma-desktop with apt.
@in_sympathy @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social I recommend Fedora KDE Spin
For installation instructions, checkout: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/raspberry-pi/
Note: Current stable release of Fedora only includes Plasma 5. Plasma 6 will be included in the upcoming stable release, Fedora 40, which is scheduled for release later this month.
@triskelion @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I guess thatβs what Iβll try then ππ»

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I would love to use something like Plasma, but there is no equivalent of windows-rs for me to write my own tiling window manager on top of the DE in a sane language π
