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.

This doesn't seem to be an official poll.

Please note that this poll is non-binding and changing the logo will depend on the willingness of the Plasma devs. They will have the final say.

Literally one of the Plasma devs showed up in the thread and seemed very annoyed.

Lol? This doesnt seem very democratic then

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because no one agreed to a democratic decision. It's just randomly made up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

The poor devs aren't even saying "no". They're just saying "what the hell is going on and why didn't you ask us about this first".

Pretty poor form for the OP to use a "KDE Developer"-badged account when they didn't have any backing from the KDE developers to make the post. Makes it look a lot more official than it actually is.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Why would it be democratic? It's just a popularity pool and devs have full control over the direction of the project.

I guess Triangles. Most of them are too complicated but I guess they suit the KDE experience

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Triangles are the nicest

Actually, hexagons are the bestagons

Why is Grey not on Lemmy yet?

The "thingy" looks like anal beads.

You're welcome.

Anything is an anal bead, if you're brave enough...

Dolphin crashes for me too currently, some KDEConnect problem

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Triangles i think

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'd probably go with fold or circles.

Trinagles are the worst cause there's not really any 'shape' to them. It's just a triangle with an image.

Not a fan

Thankfully we pretty much only see this at the start screen.
