Why use flatpak when you can just use deb repositories?
I listed one way that I know works because that’s how I use Firefox on my Steam Deck (which in turn uses Plasma 5 as desktop, same as Kubuntu). If a deb package from some PPA works just as well: great.
I prefer having at least a few privacy extensions and a better ad blocker installed so it’s a deal breaker for me for daily driving.
Too bad KDE rather develop three(!) completely independent browsers than to just combine resources and all three are based on QtWebEngine. So there is Falkon which only has a desktop GUI. Then there is Angelfish that has a smartphone GUI, a tablet GUI, and also a desktop GUI. Recently they released a browser for TVs – why they did not just add a fourth GUI to Angelfish: Nobody knows. Why Angelfish wasn’t just developed as Falkon 3.0: Nobody knows.
And yet, when Qt Company still made QtWebKit, instead of using the stable branches Apple used for Safari, they made releases from svn trunk and then tried to stabilize it with a small team. No idea when Qt Company keep trying to make a browser module for so long and keep failing all the time…
When it was still based on QtWebKit (and named QupZilla), it had relatively little overhead, so it was a better choice for low end PCs than fully featured browsers. My guess is that those descriptions are a leftover.
There’s a difference between a severe bug and a bug that a lot of people would want to see resolve.
Yeah, it would be great if that would be taken into consideration as well.
But at the end of the day, keep in mind they all dev do it because they want to, nobody force them, so we should be glad to have what we already have imo
Several developers are being paid to work on KDE software from money me and others spent.
Oh great, so from disabling single mouse click to disabling that tap thing. I had hoped that in Plasma 6 I’ll have one few option that needs changing. Well, at least it’s configurable…
Thunderbird’s entire GUI locks up when a notification pops up. KMail can’t do that.
Thunderbird runs under Windows, KMail sometimes has at best an experimental Windows release but usually none at all. Decide for yourself how important Windows releases are for a Linux crowd.
I don’t care for them but Thunderbird has extensions.
Then you did not try everything. With Linux a fresh installation is basically never needed. Last I’ve checked Akonadi is just a cache, never the actual data.
