KDE Plasma is not a desktop environment by [deleted] in Linux

[–]m68k 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Didn't read, but as a person who uses XFCE, I really wish there was a more common API for applications to use for a GUI, that's not based on GTK or QT. I find when using an app like Kdenlive or anything that uses QT, I have yet to figure out how to change things like disabling sound alerts on dialog windows or change the size of the scroll bars. I also hate the smooth animations when scrolling and such. I really really really wish they stop copying Windows. Windows is such trash tier software to be copying from. :P

I hate Microsoft products. My work computer had like Office 2011 or something (outdated I know), and was recently updated to 2013 or something (outdated I know), and the thing now ran hell slower. Zooming in web mode in Word no longer zooms in real time, but puts a zoom message on the screen... WTF... I also had to go to configuation hell to make Outlook look the same as before. :P

I already hated the interface, but I totally hate the whole thing now. Microsoft products are pure gargage.

I'm a little late to the party... Anyway, my answer is not so simple.

If I could, I would still use KDE3/Trinity. However, I found it a pain to get Trinity working in Manjaro (I could had just screwed up installing something though). So I use XFCE4, which is the closest thing to KDE3. While I can mostly deal with the god awful GTK UI, the file picker/chooser is gutter trash (IMO).

I also have Plasma 5 (KDE) as a back up DE incase XFCE4 fails for some reason. But I don't like Plasma/Qt at all. Even with compositing disabled, Plasma just feels sluggish, or the UI just doesn't feel right (I can't put my finger on it). Also, when shutting down or logging off Plasma, (for me at least) it sits at a black screen for 10 seconds, where XFCE4 is almost instant when shutting down or logging off.

Of course, note that regardless of which DE is used, and depending on the software used, getting use to both the Qt UI and the GTK UI will most likely be a thing. The little things like how double clicking feels different, scrolling, navigating with the cursor keys and such, are some the noticeable things I find that works slightly different between Qt and GTK. And yes, I know there are more GUI toolkits, such as wxWidgets, but I'm just talking about the two main ones off the top of my head. :P

Regardless, I'm still happy with what I have, and the fact it works. On the other hand, Windows at my job is currently making me puke.

Hello. :3 by m68k in ArenaFPS

I use to play OpenArena, QuakeWorld, Warsow/Warfork and Xonotic, but things got boring after many years of playing those games. The main reason I stopped playing, is simply people are only playing Clan Arena. While there are some TDM and CTF matches here and there, most of those games are off hours for me. :P

Also, to answer your second question, I don't know any upcoming games, since I don't follow modern games much today.
