Would you prefer a less customizable desktop, for increased stability? - eviltoast
I would like to collect some opinions of Plasma users, just for fun, to get a better image. poll poll A big cause of issues that only occur on the user’s side is “changing settings away from the default”. It would be impossible to test all these cases. poll A desktop with a few bugs may be very fine for an advanced user, but problematic if the administrator is not around to help. poll Last question: poll

I am not a KDE dev, but interested in that topic.

To partiticipate you can sign up in the forum, and maybe stay a bit and help other users ;)

    Yes me too. For me they are mostly:

    • the useless start animation (it is not an overlay but just delays the system start)
    • the panel, “icons only taskbar” using middleclick to spawn another window, while I want to close
    • the sounds
    • the touchpad not being “natural scrolling” · the system monitor not starting with the page didsplaying running programs, and having a warning message when closing an app (like, you only do this in edge cases where it might be time critical)
    • set animation speed to fastest
    • set Konsole, Dolphin and okular to always use tabs instead of windows (konsole needs a modded desktop entry for that)
    • extend the screen lock duration, reduce the screen turnoff duration, remove the dim duration
    • set power profiles to auto switch depending on charging state
    • enable some effects, disable some others
    • disable baloo at it is a crashy memory hog causing tons of trouble for reasons that dont make sense
    • enable full tememitry
    • disable the tiling editor and possible workspaces, to save resources?
    • change keyboard shortcut for “print” to select rectagle selection in spectacle
    • some different standard programs (like Gapless, SimpleScan and Celluloid instead of Elisa, Skanpage and Haruna/Dragonplayer)
    • disable floating panel and adaptive opacity
