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.

KDE Plasma 6: Better Defaults (pointieststick.com)

Plasma 6 looks to be shaping up quite nicely already! Some really nice quality of life style updates, and I'm quite shocked (though the reasoning makes sense) to see them moving to double-click actions by default instead of single-click.

I don't like the changes, the fact a dock is becoming the default in Plasma feels wholly antithetical to whole reason I gravitated to it in the first place over Gnome - the classic desktop experience. I don't care that every other OS and UI is doing it nowadays and that it's becoming the new default for many, I spent 3-years chained to a MacBook and after that mess of an experience I really just abhore the very concept of the dock.

The switch from checkboxes to skeumorphic toggle-switches is also irksome, to me they're ugly and impractial, it doesn't make sense to switch out checkboxes for 'em; it's a totally frivelous change.

A new default I personally would love to see is for Plasma to adopt Inter as the default font, Noto's just not a pleasent-looking typeface.
