1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Unfortunately for Microsoft there aren't any big UI or UX changes in Plasma 6. Guess they'll have to wait to steal ideas for Windows 12.

    Unfortunately for Microsoft there aren’t any big UI or UX changes in Plasma 6. Guess they’ll have to wait to steal ideas for Windows 12.

    According to a Win12 screenshot from October 2022, Microsoft has been copying macOS's floating dock since before KDE decided to also copy that. Amusingly, in the merge request for the Plasma change, this was even pointed out:

    Luckily it's still Plasma, so such needless changes just for the sake of looking like macOS are customizable and can be easily reverted by us users.

    Then we unfloat it again...

    Or we double down on the floating. Make it float off the screen.

    2### is the year of the Linux AR/VR Desktop!

    since before KDE decided to also copy that.

    Quick search says that floating deck looks like default XFCE panel. How they correlate?

    OS/2 Warp also had something similar.

    UX trends be like: "You'll float too!" 🤡
