Well luckily Qt 6 isn't much different than 5 mostly just making shit more modular and the like. So it really shouldn't be a huge change, and hopefully the devs don't manage to fuck shit up somehow.

??? who''s the "qt desktop" now? even adwaita devs are more based than breeze devs.
All KDE Gear applications that are already ported to qt6 (so half of them), are available as both qt5 and qt6. If you compile them as qt6 now, you are an alpha tester.
People (and distro jannies) need to learn to be more patient. Beta starts in december. And with the beta, you get your theme.
New(ish) to Linux here, could someone please explain why KDE is looked down on by LULZ? I switched my Win10 to Manjaro+KDE Plasma this weekend, and it looks and works better than it used to. I've used Elemental OS, Kali, Mint, and Bionic pup before, and none of them (besides maybe kali) looked so good off a fresh install. Someone called KDE spyware earlier, is there something to that?
How's XFCE compare, what are the biggest differences? It came down to either it or KDE when I was deciding, but when I tried comparing DE screenshots of the two, every one from XFCE was souped up and customised a lot which made it hard to tell what the standard experience for it looks like
you *need* to customise XFCE, the default setup is an eyesore
thankfully what makes XFCE good is that there are very few settings you need to change and its very simple, unlike KDE >remove bottom panel >add whatever you want on the top panel (hint: use the whisker start menu instead) >apply theme and font of choice >done
sadly like all GTKshit (GNOME included), on certain Qt programs it breaks and can't fullscreen or resize, like Handbrake, Ardour, Kdenlive, etc. XFCE is also X11 only.

EVERYTHING is "looked down" on LULZ. For 100% of products, there's something a flamewar could me started about. >Someone called KDE spyware earlier, is there something to that?

They gonna fix this somehow already? It's not snap fault, just firefox but still. It was supposed to be an easy-to-use desktop environment for newbies like me. The only customization I wanted was a cursor from the Quake, buuf icons and a taskbar tacked on top of the screen. That's all I wanted and I am constantly finding programs that do not respect theme and force me to tinkering. What's the point of using this shit then? I should have used cinnamon or xfce
I'm noob but it's not. I have same problem at flatpak version. Flatpak telegram app also dgaf about theming, with both snap and flatpak versions of gimp everything is ok. Same with Krita. Gnome have some plugins / addons for ff to avoid that. I don't care about customization much but this shit drives me nuts. It's something with qt toolkit according to what people write on forums

Konqi and Kiki sex!
This will be the first DE with proper fractional scaling support.
and I still don't know what that means
t. 1080pbrain
now with diaper support sugoi! >w<
KDE is for diaperfags!
when do we get LMDE6 again? im holding reorganizing my laptop for this
Supposedly this month: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4558
Yes, check e621 and related furry boorus.
Am very happy to see how well payed they are as a smaller distro project
nice
yeah, im glad the community acknowledges mint as the best debian-based distro out there
is there Kiki r34?
I'm actually really glad about this.
I would not want a repeat of 4.0

You can try KDE 6 if you like, there is a KDE Neon version that has upstream packages, it's working great.

idk, for me KDE is just a bit too much, but its 10x compared to GNOME
t. XFCEchad

Nice. 1st release is going to be basic and buggy, don't want to get my hopes up. Will wait for Debian packaging, but they're moving fast, it's good.
Will it stop being so flat?

It is snaps fault, anon

It's a snap and flatpak problem retard, tell your distro devs to fix their shit
