From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE Goes and Does It (Double-Click By Default, That Is) - OMG! Linux (www.omglinux.com)

KDE Plasma 6 will require users to double-click on files and folders to open them by default.
This change is controversial for those familiar with single-click behavior in KDE Plasma.
Click behavior in KDE Plasma 6 is configurable, allowing users to choose between single-click and double-click.

This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I'm curious how others feel.

Both plasma and gnome will get zero clicks from me. They are the two black holes sucking free open source software into their m{ac,s}-win core.

What DE do you use?

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 2 points 9 months ago

Emacs obviously.

DE require tremendous overhead of serv/daemons just to be able to make shortcuts/menu items clickable, I would never use such contraptions on my system.

I use a wm and have no use for polkit, dbus, logind, automount, obfuscated rights elevations and demotions, .... all this crap that unnecessarily must run for the sake of aesthetics and MS-win utility.

If I needed icons on my background I would use just a light filemanager, like pcmanfm, but I don't.
