zooms will never understand the kde3/gnome2 golden age
it was wonderful. it's crazy to think that when Linux users were using GNOME2 and KDE 3, Windows users were using Windows XP. Linux was genuinely very ahead in many regards at that point... if only it didn't take so long to clean up the eternal disaster that was xf86/xorg
XP was a fucking Fisher-Price toy in comparison to the Linux desktops of the time. I remember how Vista was a breath of fresh air if it was actually running on properly supported hardware despite all the memeing of the time.
Use MATE

Ohnonono
daily reminder that Konqueror is what made Blink, Chrome's engine, exist.
KHTML and KJS / KHTML engine was why we now have Webkit (Safari), then forked as Blink.
The nerve when they do this to their predecessor out of trying to make you use their safebrowsing URL hashing (url/browsinghistory logger) for use with Topics API
You goy will do what you are told to do!
>KDEs fault wikipedia can't write a website
this is what footfags actually believe
It's not Wikipedia, it's Konqueror at fault, which is KDE software

Oh nonono. Icelandic surnames are transphobic. Whatever will we do, sisters?

I miss KDE3 so god damn much. It was a rock solid desktop that had so many features. Kate was really ahead of its time; you could open/save over the network with kio, it had plugins and tons of IDE features that you wouldn't see in many text editors until Sublime and VSCode started getting better.
then KDE4 ruined it. They've almost picked up the pieces with Plasma, but time will tell if Plasma ever stops being too god damn buggy.
I miss old linux. back in 2007 when they ran from a CD rom, gnome 2. kde3. those were the good DE's. now linux feels bloated and slow, especially ubuntu with all that snap shit and systemd constantly shitting the bed.

Why did we abandon this aesthetic again? To what end?
I'll tell you why: KDE3 was a workhorse, but it was a graphic design nightmare of weird borders and shit. I think flat design is mainly popular because it lets talentless people make things that look more "professional" and it just sticks hard because it's "timeless" due to the absolute lack of any defining personality (if anything, the lack of personality is what defines "flat design" to begin with.)
actually it was this

Unironically using Rio extensively was an enlightening experience
This is the peak of interacting with a computer
Coming back to Linux and other DE makes you feel like you have some handicap

KDE killed my dad because it used so much RAM everyone died
I agree. I wouldn't mind modern designs so much if they would only stop trying to reinvent the wheel. Functionally there was very little to be gained after the Windows XP era.
actually that's true
KDE 3.5 was the peak of UX
