minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up34arrow-down1·1 month agoI’m pretty sure that the vast majority of hate for KDE back in the day was because Qt started out with a non-Free Software license, not because it was bad in terms of quality.
minus-squareherrvogel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 month agoI personally hated KDE because it was a buggy, unstable mess for a long time.
minus-squareAnUnusualRelic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 month agoAre you referring to the fact that a lot of distributions shipped KDE 4 pre release code?
minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 month agoThat was it for me. I was actually a KDE user way back in the KDE 2 and 3 days. I found KDE 4 unusable. KDE 5 never won me over. But I have been using Plasma 6 on Wayland and am perfectly happy with it.
minus-squareBullishUtensil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoYep, that’s what brought me over to XFCE for several years. Back at KDE again, though
