This week I and many other major Plasma contributors are at Akademy, planning the future and having many fruitful in-person discussions! As a result, probably next week’s post will be a bit l…

    I don’t really get why the KDE guys still insist on this atrocious lack of padding / spacing between UI elements. Even Microsoft figured this out by now.

      Yes, I can’t begin to express how much I love 5 cm of whitespace between every setting on Windows Settings pages.

      Thanks, Microsoft.

            Yeah sorta. First you gotta know what the problem is, good luck getting the average user to figure out the UI looks off because of the padding. Then you gotta know where and how you need to change it to make it better.

            Customizing is cool for power users that like to fiddle with their settings, however it can’t replace good defaults; not that I have anything against the defaults in this case…

      It seems that KDE spend 100% of the development time rounding corners and 0% fixing the multitude of crippling crashes and bugs that plague the software making it unusable for daily computing.

        Lots of people seem to be using it fine daily

        Maybe you need to switch distro and check your hardware

        Or if you’re getting lots of crashes, contribute code or money to get them addressed. Otherwise it’s clear your priorities aren’t straight
