  • OneUI 7 is visually a steaming pile of shit. Real “we have iPhone at home” vibes throughout. Specifically for me what they’ve done with icons, why cant i have white or colored icons with dark mode?

    Beta testers complained so much up to release how uncohesive everything is and Samsung constantly shut down feedback with “this doesn’t meet our design goals”. Surprise, now it hits general public and everyone still hates their goals. This won’t ruin them, but it defintely makes me reconsider Samsung going forward.

    Edit - yes I know there’s third party solutions to most android problems, but shouldn’t have to load apps and spend hours customizing to interface without vomiting.





  • They have two challenges working against them: the user database was compromised and doxxed everyone - makes it less likely the staff and audience returns. Then the source code was leaked as well, exposing a massive amount of vulnerabilities that were never patched over the years. With the vulnerabilities public now, it’s unlikely the admins can relaunch before fixing it. Most assume they don’t have the resources to reach a secure state.



  • Ah yeah, Firefox is GTK too, and annoyingly hides xdg behind a setting. I apologize in advance as my knowledge here is bit limited, but if firefox is installed with RPM, I think you’ll need xdg-desktop-portal-kde installed, then in firefox’s about:config set widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal = true. I’m not sure how it works with flatpak though.

    But hopefully that helps, best of luck!


  • Which corners are you referring to, specifically? There are some applications that use GTK components, those are styled seperately in the settings under “GNOME/GTK Application Style”. They will never look exactly like a native KDE/QT based application, but you can get them closer.

    Likely you had a lot of GTK apps included with Workstation, you could also look into Qt alternatives to replace them - for example Gedit does not conform in KDE, but Kate will.

    If you wipe and start fresh with the KDE install, it will prefer Qt applications. So that may be a worth while endeavor. Once you are settled, there is no reason to not upgrade in place. My install has been upgraded in place since fedora 32.
