  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    KDE has crazy complex apps like Krita, digiKam, KDEnlive, Kate, Konqueror, etc etc.

    They went more minimal and dedicated over time

    Amarok -> Elisa, Kasts

    Konqueror -> Dolphin, Falkon/"just use Firefox"

    I dont get why we have Gwenview, Kolourpaint, Spectacle edit and digiKam though, this feels absurd

    Missed opportunity for krazy and komplex.

    I just installed Fedora KDE for the first time from gnome and goddamn all these fucking Ks lmao! Gotta say though I didn't like elisa, installed Clementine almost immediately. I definitely don't need all these apps but I have to figure out what they all do before I go removing them willy nilly.

    And it refused to update my default browser to Librewolf so I had to uninstall Firefox to force it.

    And NetworkManager wouldn't work with the official fedora recommendation of how to randomize mac addresses, no clue why, it worked on gnome.

    Other than that it is neat, though.

    There is a new Qt app called Vvave, a tiny music player.

    I also dont like Elisa, I personally use G4Music but also tried Strawberry.

    There also is Qmmp, which is still developed and also pretty minimal

    Yeah Fedora KDE is very bloated.

    But no, changing the default browser under "default apps" in the settings works very reliable.

    NetworkManager should default to randomized MAC since F40.

    Have a look at my debloat guide
