    Unfortunately for Microsoft there aren’t any big UI or UX changes in Plasma 6. Guess they’ll have to wait to steal ideas for Windows 12.

      Unfortunately for Microsoft there aren’t any big UI or UX changes in Plasma 6. Guess they’ll have to wait to steal ideas for Windows 12.

      According to a Win12 screenshot from October 2022, Microsoft has been copying macOS’s floating dock since before KDE decided to also copy that. Amusingly, in the merge request for the Plasma change, this was even pointed out:

      Luckily it’s still Plasma, so such needless changes just for the sake of looking like macOS are customizable and can be easily reverted by us users.

    I’ve seen the sneak peek of windows 12 (if that were true), it looks like gnome I think

      Doesn’t matter that much how it looks. It will be equally annoying and disturbed compared to windows 11, or worse. :)

      Microsoft stopped making operating systems for the user a long time ago.

        This is what happens if you let the services team design the OS, same is happening on iPhones as well, to be fair. On iPhone, it is just a little more decent.

          I personally see iphones as awful and a waste of money.

          You should get a android phone and install Lineage os. F-droid is the only app store you need.

            Yeah, F-Droid sucks. The team makes arbitrary rules for the packages that are not mentioned anywhere on their website and rejecting packages based on said arbitrary rules. Happened to me.

              The rules are fairly clear and are to protect the end users from abuse and anti features. F-droid doesn’t just deny you for no reason.

                As I said, it was a rule made up on a spot. Though recently I’ve read that they had a problem with one of the maintainers being a dick to people, so I’m curious if it was that one.
