Mhm… Install 300mb once to run any Java application or 300mb for each and every electron app.

Its an easy choice.

X-Copy with 81 sectors?! What kind of madness is that?

Sorry but the window real estate of an application isn’t meant for branding and advertisement. For that you have splash screens and the about dialogue, or even the help pages. And for more branding your webpage.

Because different OSes follow different Human Interaction Guidelines and I expect that applications follow the native look and feel.

Have you heard of Java? Or any other language that abstracts away the GUI gluecode. Or don’t just even go electron and provide a web app instead.

Thank the makers that we have gui builders on most languages for most platforms, so all you need to do is wire up the controls with your backend :)

please refer to the FAQ: https://neon.kde.org/faq

What is KDE neon? 🔗

KDE neon is a Linux distribution built on top of the latest Ubuntu LTS release (24.04 at the moment) that showcases KDE software exactly as the KDE developers intended it, with no patches and no changes to default settings. Adventurous users are encouraged to try out User Edition. KDE testers can try out unreleased KDE software using the Testing and Unstable Editions.

Is this “the KDE distro”? 🔗

Nope. KDE believes it is important to work with many distributions, as each brings unique value and expertise for its users. KDE neon is one distro out of many, and that diversity is a good thing!

thats literally all you need; it is a testbed for the latest and greatest that KDE has to offer, nothing more and nothing less.

Ask CIA and other Secret Agencies :)

mobile phones yes, smartphones (android, iOS) no. They are riddled with backdoors.

Yeah I would like to say a word.

Plethora.

That behavior is not normal and it does’t happen on apple and in Windows

I am pretty sure that this physical principle still applies to macOs and Windows and is not dependant on screen composition.

When you want to draw straight lines use the straight line tool.

They are doing it (KDE Neon) as a testbed for KDE specific development and KDE apps (including gear) and they are doing it on top of Ubuntu.

Tire manufactures test their stuff on machines that simulate cars. But they would never built their own as well they lack the expertise and why would you in the first place when all your stuff sells better when it fit on regular rims?

Same with KDE Neon, KDE is most successfully when their DE and apps are run by the most users. That’s why those apps also can be compiled to non linux/Unix OSes like Windows, MacOS and Android.

Thus its a problem with interpolation.

For straight lines you better use the Line Tool in Krita right next to the Freehand Brush Tool.

Everything else and even when you try to use a ruler to guide your mouse doing the Freehand Brush Line, the mouse only has a limited resolution and thus will cause jagged lines due to interpolation.

What are we looking at?

Is it that when you zoom out your seemingly straight free hand drawn line isn’t actually straight?

Don’t get me wrong, I do love the look and feel of progman and windows 3.0~3.51, but its because it felt like AmigaOS and Workbench. The Windowbuttons are in the exact same place, the gadget kinds were also the same.

But we had Borland Delphi for win3.x which was nice to play with.

You know The elders of the internet?

And Xenia is hosting?

Femboy with a bushy beard?

I guess the icon theme takes precedent here.
