@eskuero @Bro666 funny. I’m turning 60 in less than a couple of years and I have been using KDE only for half of my life too 🤪

@MentalEdge I had no anger, only worries and a need for a discussion or clarification. I would however clarify that I am selective about who I talk to or take crap from. So please rest assured that it is entirely personal when I block you.

@MentalEdge Thank you for twisting everything I said with an unstable mental state and a lot of anger directed at a random person on the internet.

In the replies to my post I did get one *proper* reply that clears up the confusion.

You however should go take a long cold bath to see if you can calm yourself down.

@DmMacniel Thanks, I missed that document! This clears up all of my worries.

It also clarifies that it is’t a distro in itself - and that’s the important part :)

This was the proper response, and I salute you for it 🫡

Have a nice day!

@DmMacniel I get that - my point was mainly that by creating a distro of their own, they set a certain baseline, nudging reality away from what the distro (in this case Ubuntu) they use as a baseline offers.

If you use a vanilla distribution as a baseline and then have your testbed on top of that, then there’s no issue and no mixed messages. But if you create your own distro “based on XYZ” then XYZ isn’t the baseline anymore - and that sets a certain message.

@kde 🧵(4/4)

Leave others to what they do best. Focus your efforts on what matters - there is still a whole lot to do in KDE to make it the best there is. A massive amount of issues to work out in the UI/UX so that drawing in new users doesn’t have to be a long walk on broken glass.

And the project manager that thought this would be a good idea? Reassign him to making Kcalc better.

@kde 🧵(3/?)

- until it’s in your face and all of a sudden you realize that you perhaps should have voted differently, as all of a sudden everyone is deporting you, GNOME is taking over and you sit in your little corner cowering in fear.

And no, I’m not talking about a farmer in the US voting for Trump - but there clearly is an analogy.

Wake up and smell the reality. The reality is - you asked the wrong question. It never was “can we do it” or “do we want to do it”.

@kde 🧵(2/?)

Or what if Heinz starts making their own fast-food chain and only supplies their condiments to said chain?

This is a bad idea *because* it is reversing the supply-chain, redirecting efforts that should be focused on the KDE ecosystem (the tip of the iceberg) and moves it to the bottom. Away from what matters.

It WILL eventually lead to KDE isolation, a foundation fragmentation and frivolous forking.

It is that kind of an idea everyone thinks is either great, comical or satirical

@bjoern_tantau @4Robato not a bug. Mouse issue. Notice the squiggly lines - either it’s the mouse (crappy or dirty sensor) or he doesn’t have a mouse mat and is using a wood-grain (or some other un-even) desktop.

@4Robato that is neither a problem with Linux nor with Krita. That’s a problem with you having a really crappy mouse - or - a very dirty sensor on the mouse - or - you don’t have a mouse mat and are using a wood-grain desk - OR - a combination of any of the three aforementioned issues.

@pglpm It’s still an ultimatum.

Even the AI is more socially apt than you.

@pglpm Your perception of your open letter is “polite”.

The boiled down version is “if you do this, then fuck you.” Literally.

There is no such thing as a polite ultimatum.

Sorry, but YTA.

@TerHu @Lojcs

*I* would propose to stop using the K everywhere in naming apps.

“It was Kool bacK in the day when KDE was Kaining traKtion” - but now, it’s a *K*luge.

@onlinepersona If you say so. Who am I to judge your reading comprehension better than yourself? It’s a good thing that you acknowledge it - that leaves room for growth 😉

@onlinepersona “Just don’t make the assumption everybody thinks like you do.” <– just by saying that, you have made the exact same assumption and are requesting (nay, demanding) that status quo is kept. 🤷‍♂️

@onlinepersona @iturnedintoanewt It would be most effective if you’d take your own advice - If *I* am searching through the start menu, *I* will be looking for applications first, files second and random directories absolutely last.

@FauxLiving and what OP is doing doesn’t require much - but I was’t commenting on OP’s post, I was commenting on the reply claiming the Frame was ready for a full OS. Which it isn’t.

@FauxLiving the Quest3 runs Android which is a lightweight Linux with a fairly opimosed proprietary graphics engine. It’s literally a powerful embedded device. It’s still too feeble for a full OS. The MQ3 struggles with the high-resolution, high-action games like Asgard’s Wrath 2, not having enough CPU power for the location detection PLUS running the game. The Steam Frame is no different in that aspect, the difference being Steam realizes it and are’t trying to gaslight you about the situation.

@bjoern_tantau @artyom How do you get that to compute?

The Steam Frame is a “streaming first” headset - *because* the onboard chip is too feeble for a full onboard OS gaming support.

That means it is a tethered device (WiFi or Wire - still a tether)

The Meta Quest series all support tethering (Wired - OR - WiFi) and the older Occulus devices RELY on a tether. The PS VR can be used on a PC with SteamVR so there’s no stopping it from being used like that too.

I find your computing erroneous.

@albertye better contrast
