I use Krusader on Linux which I don’t think has icon view.

When I have to use something else (eg Windows Explorer at work), obviously I prefer detailed list view. I like seeing things like the last modified date.

That’s not how FOSS works. Even if Discover were delivered with a blacklist of certain packages, the distributor could change or completely remove that blacklist; hence why it would be pointless to have one. I’m about to report this thread for being offtopic here because what (non-KDE software) a certain Linux distro has in its repos is unrelated to KDE.

like its GUI, I think

(also, not a lot of people will see comments you post to a two-month-old thread)

That is what happens when you follow a Lemmy community on Mastodon: all posts and comments will appear in your timeline as having been boosted by that Lemmy community account.

!kde@lemmy.kde.social is a Lemmy community, not the “KDE Lemmy account”, so if you follow this, you’ll get all posts and comments posted to this community in your feed (and all of them will look like my OP for you, nothing I can do about it). If you just want to follow the KDE social media team, then you should follow @kde@floss.social instead (or maybe in addition).

I posted exactly the same link as you, no link to my instance; you seem to be posting from Mastodon, where you always just get a link to the thread on the original instance, I suggest you use Lemmy to read Lemmy communities and Mastodon to follow microbloggers.

Debian (testing) is most suitable for me. If there were a universally best distro, all the others would cease to exist…

It isn’t made by a for-profit company and thus doesn’t have “features” I don’t want.

It pays attention to software freedom, though it isn’t so restrictive about it that it doesn’t work with my hardware.

It was very easy to install only the things I wanted and needed.

There already is a Firefox/LibreWolf extension called Worldwide Radio which I occasionally use. Not trying to make you not use Transistor, but you may be interested in it.

Of course, many KDE apps that were first released in the last ~20 years don’t have a K in their names.

not heard of it before, do you want to explain what it is or does everyone who is like me have to separately do a web search for it?

If they are using someone else’s GPL code and adding requirements like that, then yes, that is infringement.

I use neither Arch nor Ubuntu, btw

I have been using Linux since my mid-teens in the late 2000s (with interruptions). In the late 2000s and early 2010s I really did do a lot of tinkering with the computer, but nowadays I rarely even install new software and hardly ever think of my operating system, at all.

Installed, it probably is if it works in Brave… it might not be set up right in LibreWolf though.

happens occasionally, but not only “lately”, I have been using it for many years and it does (rarely, but occasionally) cause performance drops, yes

On a German QWERTZ keyboard too, μ is the only Greek letter you can easily type (altgr+m) and I’m pretty sure this is because of micro units.

Idk but if you’re just looking for the repo I think this is it: https://github.com/IRS-Public/direct-file

according to https://dot.kde.org/2009/11/24/repositioning-kde-brand/ “KDE” no longer stands for anything

exactly, OSM is meant to be based on original surveys rather than external sources, and something like “knowledge” or “local knowledge” is a perfectly fine thing to indicate as a source if you mean “I’m familiar with the area and am very confident that my changes are correct although I have not specifically surveyed it just to make these changes”.

even that would not be false, plenty of KDE software can run on Windows 10

(remember that “KDE” is the name of the community, not of the desktop environment “Plasma”)

The screenshot in the OP is KDE Plasma I’m pretty sure.
