Executives are also trying to use it to eliminate the jobs of artists, and I feel it’s wrong to try and obsolete something people love doing.
Luddism, much?

Slightly unrelated but the quality of the screen capture is crisp wtf
Do you really need a cool usable theme to be productive, whatever the crap that is? Are you 7 years old?
Prior to going into the post, I was just hesitant to try it but curious. The fact that they are working on releasing Cosmic to other operating systems and how comprehensive the piece of news is (for instance, featuring a section of what’s present and what’s missing at this stage of development) is what may have just sold me into trying it.
I’m afraid basing their distro off TempleOS would be a bit too hard.
The summed up version of your comment is that you also go out of your way to work around the database issue.
the lack of XWayland support scares me
I’ve been using niri lately and couldn’t believe so many apps wouldn’t launch. I didn’t know that was the issue. I had been manually editing so many desktop entries to make them work…
Recording meetings with other people, messing up with desktop layouts and whatnot.
But they haven’t been pushed at all lately, and there were deprecation talks in the KDE forums.
Reading this feels like reading those famous math textbooks, which are for people who are already well-versed in the field yet kept being shoved into undergraduate courses.
False dilemma fallacy
Another commenter mentioned going by a pseudonym, which is pretty much what I had in mind - I’ve always been grown up on the idea of not disclosing your full name nor your physical location, but many universities’ websites not only shows the full names of their profs, but also their coordinates and their office hours.
There’s a publicly available record of where and when someone is readily present, for better and, especially when it comes to preserving one’s safety, for worse.
Let me make this point clearer: would you publicly disclose where you live or where you spend most of your time? I hope you see some of my concerns now.
I trust this is the right place to find like minded people and maybe find a solution, not to argue about what an academic should or should not be.
I think you did alright by resorting to flatpak. When it comes to closed source applications, it’s not uncommon for problems like this to appear every so often.
Gimp’s mascot is in some kind of hard drugs in that icon
I’d rather use TeXmacs or LyX to avoid typing in obscure commands and whatnot
Just to double check, are you sure you’re not running TempleOS?
The problem here is that we are dealing in largely imprecise terms. If we instead turn to semantic versioning for inspiring what we’d consider a large change, then Plasma 5 -> 6 is a big change, breaking previous API.
The new desktop edit effect is largely irrelevant under this rather precise terminology.
I don’t think anyone has misunderstood you here. You misunderstood what you wrote in your first comment. The new desktop edit window is not proposing any new functionality that wasn’t there, but showcasing it in a more streamlined fashion. That’s in itself refining the user experience, which is exactly what you wanted.
Tried it, my device crashes every 2 minutes in. Not worth the effort for now.
