KDE, to me, is exactly what I'd hope for in usability [personally] and how it is developed. I love it! ( lemmy.kde.social )

I began distro hopping in 2021, with a slight break in 2022, before coming back full swing this year. After a while of trying almost anything that seemed interesting to me, tinkering, and learning about Linux as a whole, I’ve absolutely fallen in LOVE with KDE as a whole. I’ll mainly be talking about the desktop, here....

Haha, no offense taken! we all have preferences, and that’s honestly part of why i love KDE so much! the ability to really make something that suits ya as an individual. <3

Of course! Thank you for your kind words! I was worried that this post might some ‘bloaty’ for this community [joke kinda intended, there LMAO], but i’ve seen a lotta nice comments, tips, and overall just a super nice community. even differing opinions being stated aren’t done with disrespect.

i feel quite comfy posting here, now. maybe won’t be posting myself too often, but i’ll definitely be lurking here from now on and replying when i can and have something to say. thank you for helping me understand that it’s okay to do this!

the point of the post really was to show what i did with my desktop, but primarily show love to the kommunity, kontributors and the devs of all KDE projects. i absolutely adore keeping up with this and it’s fun hearing about all the developments atm. super stoked for plasma 6!

Cool KDE Plasma trick: [Meta] + [v]

You know how you can use [Ctrl] + [v] to paste in place the last thing you copied to the clipboard, right?

A cool and productive-enhancing variant of that available in 's desktop is that, when copying and pasting a lot of different things, you can hold down the [Meta] ("Windows") key and hit [v], and a list of all the elements available on the clipboard will pop up so you can choose what to paste next.

Thank you! Nice to know. I’m all about making my workflow quick / efficient, and KDE is so great for doing so!

Thank you! I look forward to taking part of the community here. Been a big fan of KDE and the projects for a while now, so once I heard there was a Lemmy instance, I was pretty thrilled. I adore KDE and look forward to learning more and more!

Hard to explain for me, but a lot of it comes down to a simplicity factor. I love KDE, I love having control, but I also loving having a surface that I can just work with, yknow? So, there is always settings to go under the hood, but rarely will I need to. I tried to simplify my system using certain widgets and thematic stuffs. Sounds odd, but this is the best way I can put it, haha. I appreciate you asking!

Thank you as well! I didn’t want anything complicated, just a bit pretty and mainly functional. Your words here are something I’ll take to heart. Have a good day!

This is far too late of a response, but I’m glad you found it! I haven’t logged in for a while, but I’m coming back now. Apologies for not getting back! Ditto menu really is great. <3
