Re: Thoughts on KDE Plasma as of right now

I mean, all I really need is the apps being fixed, things like konsole, the various windows and programs and it's definitely useable. Dolphin is surprisingly great, I went in expecting oh, it'll be a pain to use.

No, Dolphin was quick, useable and responsive. The only show stopper or me, and I've not found a workaround yet, is that the QT5 windows and panels do not read, the irony of the accessibility panel being inaccessible is not lost on me, but I'm tempted to keep it around to see where it goes, and given the Steam Deck uses Plasma last I checked, here's hoping for improvements that get ported there too

Yeah, I've not tried it in like half a year, but this has prompted me to
begin as a Patron to linux-accessibility again. Just $19 per month, but I
hope it helps enthusiasm and to keep up this really great work!

So given the news about KDE accessibility getting worked on, I figured
I'd give KDE a shot. I wasn't that impressed last time.

However. It's improved a lot, I can do basic things, which is a big step
up, and I get talking app launchers, and can do email, web browsing and
text editing which is a big, big plus.


That being said, I still cannot change system settings or default apps
like I can on, say, Mate but, and here's the thing I like about KDE
Plasma as of writing this...


It is fast, it, on my Arch box, so YMMV on other OSes, but I'm running
this on my Arch box, the thing I like about it is the keyboard commands
make sense.

Now, if I can just work on adding a shortcut that doesn't require me to
go and fight with a window that won't read, that'd be good. Plasma is
pleasently surprising and worth checking in on.
