  • It hasn’t been pointed out and isn’t one of the top comments because nobody fucking cares.

    You are the epitome of 🤓

    Edit for people getting mad about this: The content of OP’s post is perfectly coherent, so it’s not like they’re daft and don’t know better. The title was a mistake, we’re human, we make them. Even if OP didn’t know better, one could just as easily assume that they aren’t a native speaker and politely correct it without being a complete dick about it like the comment above.

    But ultimately, who the fuck really cares? The notion that it’s ‘fucked up’ that people aren’t dogpiling on someone for making a grammatical error on Lemmy is fucking stupid.

    funny ‘cause when i was in china there was winnie the pooh merch in like every fuckin’ store

    you’re full of shit and you just parrot clickbait youtube talking points instead of doing any actual research, but you’re named after some libertarian right shit so i guess that tracks


  • Yeah, they continue to add new features that weren’t present in KDE 3 too, in a manner that remains true to KDE 3’s iconic look and feel. They post about these new features on their Mastodon, and write in depth about them in their release notes.

    They also port and maintain old community-made themes, mods, and applications as official packages, which is something I really appreciate even though I didn’t use it back then.

    My favorite thing about using *Nix and FOSS in general is that we can not only preserve it’s history through forks, but immortalize it. If you want to keep the experience and workflow you enjoy, you simply can. Using Linux with Trinity is like having Windows XP but it’s still receiving (and will for the foreseeable future) actually good feature updates, security updates, bugfixes, and access to current software and hardware.


    • I’m really not sure what they’re planning for Wayland at the moment (if anything), but one of the plus sides is that it isn’t too dependent on it’s default window manager, and I was even able to run most parts of it via XWayland under Wayfire with only a handful of issues that probably wouldn’t be too hard to resolve in the future (e.g. multiple desktops on kdesktop).

    • Initially, I suppose it was just to provide an option for people who weren’t happy with KDE 4. These days, I’d consider the main benefits to be a nice way to have an old school UX for those who prefer that, and excellent performance on aging hardware. (In some ways the UX still outdoes KDE 5/6 IMO, such as TDE’s version of Konqueror being a much more capable file manager than the current versions, or the highly configurable power manager.)

    • It uses a fork of Qt3, TQt.

    • This will vary from distro to distro, but I have it using just a little over 100 MB of RAM on a cold boot with MX on my ThinkPad X200T, and practically no idle CPU usage.
