Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.
Does Merkuro mean something in another language? Like Krita means Crayon in…Swedish? Norwegian? Scandahoovian? And for some reason they didn’t call it Krayon?
I see. Sorry for you that you have to use GNOME. But check out Guake if you’re looking for a Quake-style terminal. Tilix also has a Quake mode. I’m glad I found a fellow Quake-style terminal enjoyer :) I actually need to use macOS for work and I’m very thankful I found an option in iTerm2 for a dropdown terminal. I honestly can’t live without one.
You should give www.nerdfonts.com a look. There is a patched version of Fira Code and it’s pretty damn fancy, although there are plenty alternatives and instructions for creating your own if you fell like it.
I think for transparency in Plasma you use “Window Rules”, a tab in which you can specify a lot of stuff, like opacity, and you can confine your settings to certain programs, certain categories of programs, all programs, etc. There’s really a huge customisation potential with Plasma!
Everytime I see these dumb wojacks I definitely think the meme creator is 12 and have to back away from completely pre judging the whole meme. Thank you for this.
The Knaming scheme was so Koff putting that I refused to use KDE for years based purely on how much it annoyed me.
But it’s been 15 years now and GNOME has turned into Fisher Price. KDE things always seemed to work better, like Phonon works 1000 times better than GStreamer and apps like Krita and Kdenlive are far more useful than GNOME equivalents.
Thinking about giving KDE a spin with the new Plasma 6 release
I was the same. I also avoided any Kpackage because of kdependencies it would install along with it.
I was shocked when my Linux Guru recommended KDE whenever it was that Plasma got really good. I reluctantly tried it and I was hooked. I was in love with the infinitely user configurable UI. I felt like I could easily bend the interface to do what I wanted. It’s been many years now and it’s hard for me to use anything but KDE. I even tried to give Plasma Mobile a go on my Pine Phone.
Back in the day I used to store a skeleton of one under my bed; twas quite funny when my parents found it. Also, a few of those flew into my face when I was retrieving it. Does that count?
