Of course! Thank you for your kind words! I was worried that this post might some 'bloaty' for this community [joke kinda intended, there LMAO], but i've seen a lotta nice comments, tips, and overall just a super nice community. even differing opinions being stated aren't done with disrespect.

i feel quite comfy posting here, now. maybe won't be posting myself too often, but i'll definitely be lurking here from now on and replying when i can and have something to say. thank you for helping me understand that it's okay to do this!

the point of the post really was to show what i did with my desktop, but primarily show love to the kommunity, kontributors and the devs of all KDE projects. i absolutely adore keeping up with this and it's fun hearing about all the developments atm. super stoked for plasma 6!

Thank you! Nice to know. I'm all about making my workflow quick / efficient, and KDE is so great for doing so!

I began distro hopping in 2021, with a slight break in 2022, before coming back full swing this year. After a while of trying almost anything that seemed interesting to me, tinkering, and learning about Linux as a whole, I've absolutely fallen in LOVE with KDE as a whole. I'll mainly be talking about the desktop, here.

I've a hard time using other stuff now, with how well Plasma fits my use-case as well as just how customizable it is. I even made my desktop sorta like GNOME, in a setup I jokingly call 'KNOME'. Yes, name 100% stolen. Works just like Plasma with some of the looks that I like from GNOME.

Beyond that, I do need to mention I run Arch [btw] for this, but I absolutely love how quick and efficiently updates are delivered as well as how the community is kept-up with. I know there are distro differences, but from my experience on Arch, KDE updates typically go great and SUPER quick / painless.

The community being kept-up with the development process also really helps everything feel more engaging and, therefor, easy to engage with. I was VERY scared about posting on Linux forums, boards and threads, but the KDE community was honestly a large part of the reason I opened up at all, and I've made some great friends along the way!

I look heavily forward to using a KDE phone as soon as possible, as well as Big Screen. I'm fully invested in KDE from here on out. Thank you to everyone for working so hard to make KDE what it is!

For the last bit of this, I'd like to give special thanks to Nicco Loves Linux on YouTube, for making such great KDE and Linux content in general. Their videos are a big reason I'm so comfortable with KDE today! If they happen to be here, thank you so much! Love your videos!

Picture of desktop for those wondering what KNOME is. As for the point of this post? Just wanted to show some love to the devs, kontributors, and the kommunity. Hope that's okay!

This is far too late of a response, but I'm glad you found it! I haven't logged in for a while, but I'm coming back now. Apologies for not getting back! Ditto menu really is great. <3

Hard to explain for me, but a lot of it comes down to a simplicity factor. I love KDE, I love having control, but I also loving having a surface that I can just work with, yknow? So, there is always settings to go under the hood, but rarely will I need to. I tried to simplify my system using certain widgets and thematic stuffs. Sounds odd, but this is the best way I can put it, haha. I appreciate you asking!

Thank you as well! I didn't want anything complicated, just a bit pretty and mainly functional. Your words here are something I'll take to heart. Have a good day!

Thank you! I look forward to taking part of the community here. Been a big fan of KDE and the projects for a while now, so once I heard there was a Lemmy instance, I was pretty thrilled. I adore KDE and look forward to learning more and more!

[Apologies if this isn't where this should be posted. New to Lemmy and figuring this whole thing out].

After watching my brother experiment with KDE for the first time, I was inspired to try a bit on my own layout. Mix of Win 11 / 7, GNOME, Android and ChromeOS. A little of everything as I think it's just pretty and works for me.

Absolutely love KDE! <3
