... People use KDE?
Hey, anybody remember that exploit that XFCE4, Gnome and Mate had?
lol, me neither because they've never had one lol.

Picked up steam this year due to massive overhauling. It's still a buggy cluttered mess, though with too many settings jammed into too huge a UI.
GNU/NEETs on suicide watch LMFAO
>>60341726
Maybe the next version of kde should be only about bug fixes
Just a crazy idea of mine
>>60341794
At least our shit gets patched immediately
>>60341726
>linux is secure
lmao that's why you don't use a OS developed by hobbyists.
>b-b-but muh code written by neckbeards years ago is unhackable!!
>merging gnome
this shit will take hours
>>60341726
They should rewrite KDE in Rust, to avoid issues like this in future
>>60342130
You what? Stop. Seriously, stop.
If Plasma is so unstable then why does the Debian installer recommend it in the stable version?

YEAR OF THE LELNOX DESKTERP FOR SURE
>>60342130
Oh god. Don't do this. You have to set a GNOME profile and get systemd if you don't already have it. It will take forever.

So it's fucking nothing?
>>60343485
GNOME is still the default, KDE is just an option.
>>60341726
GNOME confirmed best desktop evar. No but seriously, I like some of the features KDE has like KDE connect but KDE is just so ugly and all the little bugs like having to close and reopen wallpaper settings to change to slideshow mode ruin it.

openbsd is the only true OS out there
recommend to me a userfriendly DE (supports side bar)
>>60346061

no, thanks
>>60346118
2 remote access vulnerabilties in 20 years. Bretty gud desu.
>>60346163
given to corporations for free
>>60341750
This man uses KDE and is a brilliant hacker
>>60346263
Still the best os available
>>60346413
I would use it if it was GPL-licensed
>>60346427
Fukc that commie shit, gpl is against inovation and garbage
>>60346459
bsd is against freedom because it helps corporations
>commie
stallman is against communism
>>60345981
how much ram does gnome need to werk
ubuntu gnome live cd used ~ 800 mb just to run
is it the same after install?
>>60346484
gpl is against freedom as you cant do whatever you want with your code.
>>60341750
KDE 2 was decent
>>60346664
well, if they both are against freedom in some way, I prefer not helping monopolist corporations who want to destroy fredom completely
>>60341853
Linux isn't about security.
Linux is about performance.
Go for BSD if you want security

You only help them if you buy their products. Don't buy their products and they'll go away.
Also, there is no commercial software I'm aware of that's based on OpenBSD.
How the fuck does a fucking GUI toolkit give people root access
>>60343764
50 packages left
goodbye openrc

>You only help them if you buy their products. Don't buy their products and they'll go away.
Doesn't help, normies buy them anyway. We need to make their replacements and convince normies to use them. And obviously this replacements should not be bsd-licensed.
>Also, there is no commercial software I'm aware of that's based on OpenBSD.
Doesn't openbsd use freebsd's code?

how can gnome even compete
Fuck these idiots, a DE exploit shouldn't allow root access. Plasma was the only decent DE out there since GNOME decided to go full garbage mode. I'm switching back to Wincucks.
>all planned for season 3
Xfce doesn't have this problem.
>>60349462
Exploits appear literally everywhere, free software is better than proprietary because good guys find them too.
>>60341726
KDE4 is still supported?

Has had FBI backdoor for years.
installed plasma 5 some time ago. dropped it after 15 minutes. then spent two hours removing over 9000 packages named kfuckyou, kuselessshit etc.
0/10 would kill everyone responsible
>>60346061
But what about TrueOS then?

> Not writing your DE in Coq
>>60349711
no? was it last on kubuntu 14. or 16.
>>60345899
Default my ass, the installer offers the option to install a nr of DEs on equal footing.
>>60351827
Yeah but if you just hit next it leaves "Debian default desktop" which is GNOME.
