This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

A KDE powered device of some sort. Laptop? Phone? Media boxen?
They died. But it was unrelated
Sure, it’s just another tarball to compile and install, right? What do you mean lots of dependencies? Oh, well, I guess there is Krita :)
If we’re in string freeze, it’s probably within a few weeks. They’re in bug squashing and translations mode now. I’d take that bet.
Sometimes you build community by simply being the first to organize something – anything.
Simple example: it’s really hard to find a D&D game to join sometimes. But if you start a new table (and offer to DM), then you’re flooded with prospective players immediately.
The whole “if you build it, they will come” angle works provided you’re willing to put the effort in.
As a former slackware aficionado, I’d have to say that the general mood of the users and development team was super chill. Hell, the name slackware comes from “slack”, the goal of the Church of the SubGenius. The whole thing is a meme that’s been going steady for decades.
I had the privilege of meeting Patrick and much of the core Slackware group at the KDE 4.0 release party. They are all awesome.
I can expect that users that tolerate the Slackware style are also those that are pretty laid back to begin with. Probably they were happier people already, and using slackware just vibes with them.
Love the KDE community. Was involved a a dozen years and learned so much from the experience. I recommend this to any rookie, amateur, or student programmer out there: get involved. Even if it’s just reporting bugs, you’ll learn so much about so much.
Linux on all their electric cars, and they’re watching porn while driving ;)
Not OP. I remember having to migrate to subversion… Do you think my credentials still work ;)
And has broken those systems in the past. But diversity in implementations across Linux systems likely means it doesn’t break all systems simultaneously.
In KDE, there used to be man: as a protocol that you could use from Konqueror or anything else for that matter. Does it still exist?
I’m at work and cannot check.
It’s so ironic. Over the last few decades you could find millions of examples of the opposite question being asked.
Oh hi Jure of KDE fame ;)
How is KMail these days? I haven’t used it in years. It always largely worked, but never really exceled at anything.
It’s probably a tiling window manager. ;)
Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin
