Brasero, though, being a GNOME app and not KDE, has a completely different file selector that I don't like, that ignores all of my bookmarked locations and also jumps back to the Home folder if I change the "file type" dropdown at all.

That's fair. I spent a few months on Linux and mostly loved it! But you're right there were many pain points, and as a VR enthusiast the VR support was just not there yet. So I had to grudgingly return to windows but I do still miss a lot of it. KDE's one click status buttons were a life changer...

@rebane2001 if you didnt know, the antonymph web experience is borked on wayland (atleast kde's compositor), since the windows start in the center of the screen instead of the top right corner, would be a good thing to add a disclaimer for wayland ppl in regards to that.

Hmm… not sure… a mix of things probably. I think KDE's UI was modeled more on Windows (the bars, window top and bottom buttons, etc.) and Gnome's was modeled after Mac. (I was switching from Windows at that time).

Today I found out some notification sounds from KDE's Ocean sound pack (specifically dialog_info.oga) is panned slightly to the right, which is the side of the screen notifications come from by default.

I’m not sure who’s responsible for putting laptop firmware updates inside KDE’s Discover app, but bravo. I can’t imagine how much effort it would have taken to have this functional and stable and “Just Work” ™️
Was a little worried about running Linux on a dual gfx laptop but been smooth sailing 👏

SonicDE: Preserving X11 Amidst KDE’s Wayland Transition and Its Security Implications
At AllSafeUs Research Labs, we continually monitor the evolving landscape of critical software infrastructure, particularly within the open-source ecosystem that underpins many enterprise and specialized deployments. A significant development has emerged from the KDE community, signaling a pivotal shift that warrants close attention from security professionals and IT strategists alike. KDE Plasma, a prominent desktop environment for Linux, has announced its intention to move towards Wayland-exclusive support with the upcoming Plasma 6.8 release, effectively retiring its long-standing X11 session support.

I added that preset years ago to go with KDE's Breeze Dark theme (the base color was chosen to match the color in late 2018), but with KDE changes and the new theme, it probably no longer matches KDE anymore. This might need changing in the future, since it's the intended purpose of that preset.

We set up everything and waited 6 weeks for #KDE's announcement. Nothing. We repeatedly tried to contact the representative and his colleagues, but they didn't respond. That's a pity. We had high hopes and had already agreed on a good collaboration.
