@slopsec There's a lot of projects that people point to as pinnacles of good design that are built with QT but people just don't realize

@BrodieOnLinux lxde calls itself "familiar", "classic", sometimes even "simple". i dont think theyve ever used the term "modern" to describe themselves lol. maybe they did in 2003

@BrodieOnLinux also sugar is listed as a desktop environment (???) and its description is just copy-pasted from the sugar website

@elly I'm not sure if you watched the video and heard my opinion or just responding to the title, but I pretty much completely agree.New icons I know are something that is explicitly being worked on, and per monitor workspaces well we'll see about that lol

@BrodieOnLinux My KDE Plasma experience at home is vastly better than my Windows 11 experience at work. Each DE should be allowed to develop their own visual language. I like the differences. GNOME actually feels quite retro to me, almost 60's Lava lamp. And DE's also have their awkward quirks. GNOME still hasn't officially embraced extensions. KDE has its sometimes randomly placed settings that I keep forgetting about. :-) Like Theme settings which have little button links everywhere.

@BrodieOnLinux One thing i have noticed over the years (past 10-15) is that design ambitions have become so obsessed with "minimalism",that it has been cut down for usability it ends up bein impossible to use when approaching edge cases... or just edge of "the beaten path" that has unfortunately succumbed to submission.One that comes to mind is Tesla blinkers being operated via the touchscreen that would make the car illegal/unsafe to drive if you have to wear gloves,also forces you to takes focus of the road to locate the damn thing.

@BrodieOnLinux If you want KDE to look flat, just install flat theme.

@BrodieOnLinux Ever since switching to Plasma, I started developing this «Plasma feels old» thing. The more I thought about it, the less this feeling shifted away from initial form. I would not say it feels «old» now, or god forbid «outdated», I would say it feels «faithful». There is no pulpable criteria to judge by, but general feel of the environment, it's collective design choices, reminds me a lot of that of Windows 7 back when it was still a thing on my computer. Plasma feels like something that set on a good design for desktop computing and kept developing it further, instead of driving into whatever that ditch of Windows 8 / 8.1 was.Never mentioned it being bad. It is good, in fact. Plasma sure does not look or feel like mass-market behemoths do nowadays. But it does feel correct. Plasma feels like a correct way to interract with complicated and ridiculously feature-rich machines that are modern computers.
