  • I have the very old KDE Slimbook I from around 2017, and am very happy with it, built quality is very decent, well it is 7/8 years old now and still working nicely. Also have good experience with their support. PSU in the laptop died when it was about one year old because of lightning strike and electricity surge and they replaced the PSU without any questions and cost (except for shipping). The only thing I miss with my laptop is better keyboard, and more sturdy screen hinges. But yeah other then that. I can only recommend Slimbook.





















  • But isn’t this the point of cross-posting feature? The intended use; to get the info into many communities/instances? If it is the right community that is on topic it is not spamming. Since not all people are on all instances and all communities and might miss something good otherwise. I take it more as a visual spam and a Lemmy annoyance. Similar as to what it has been on Mastodon when in the past consecutive re-boost of posts would also show up multiple times one after another. And in latest versions of Mastodon they fixed it so only one entry is shown. I think this is what Lemmy should also do.









  • Ir was my first desktop I encountered when introduced to GNU/Linux and it is actually what made me delay my switch to GNU/Linux since I disliked it so much. back then I did not know there are more desktop options so Iit made me think the whole GNU/Linux is not interesting to me. It was not until a few years later until I was told there are other options and I was shown KDE desktop (not called Plasma yet back then) that I fell in love with GNU/Linux.

    Why I did not like GNOME was that it was too limited and limiting and unconfigurable. And I would say nowadays it has gotten even worse while KDE Plasma has improved a lot. I think GNU/Linux would have a lot more success at capturing the desktop OS market if KDE Plasma would be the major and default desktop in all those enterprise distributions. It is just so much better and so flexible you can even turn it to mimic any other desktop or even better customize it to fit your wery own best way of workflow and using computers.
