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.

I'd like to see a proper full redesign of the KDE settings one day TBH. I can't quite put my finger on why, but the settings always feel kind of weird and counterintuitive to me.

Same. One of my biggest peeves with KDE is the settings situations. Many are so cluttered and dated compared to KDE's more modern style. I'm glad some work is going into cleaning that up.

I disagree, I think the current design is pretty good (though I preferred the layout in kde5)

I guess the biggest problem is how ugly tabs are in breeze?

I liked the icon only ("mac-style") layout they had in KDE 4.

Please no.

Whereas Microsoft still relies on certain window content from pre 2000, KDE has redesigned just about everything a 100 times already. The software discovery tool has seen so many different versions, settings too.

Please focus in bug fixing and stability. I AGAIN cannot update my sddm login background image, something that hasn't worked about 50% of the time over the past 20 years. Please fix it and then make sure it stays fixed, PLEASE?

Oh yeah I'm not saying it has to be an absolute priority, just something I'd like to see get worked on at some point.
