minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up33arrow-down1·7 days agoI’m pretty sure that the vast majority of hate for KDE back in the day was because Qt started out with a non-Free Software license, not because it was bad in terms of quality.

minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 days agoThat was it for me. I was actually a KDE user way back in the KDE 2 and 3 days. I found KDE 4 unusable. KDE 5 never won me over. But I have been using Plasma 6 on Wayland and am perfectly happy with it.
