Fedora is pretty good there, but I wouldnt use the DNF variants.

The atomic variants though totally rock. Atomic Desktops, IoT, etc.

The atomic model deals with all the troubles you would have with so new packages.

OpenSUSE slowroll would be a better middle-ground, but I have had strange broken packages and they dont have a useful atomic model, as it is not image-based.

Interesting, didnt know that!

I mostly simply not have a Google account to do that

But no shit I have no idea why they dont just use GNOME software

Wtf did I just watch

These are a ton of likes for a totally wrong comment XD

Yeah sorry this is about the used filemanager.

In KDE I have set Konsole, Dolphin and Okular to always only open tabs. Really nice, not always self explanatory

This guy doesnt use tabs

My backup is seeding.

I explained KDE Apps.

COSMIC is fine and a really great project. But they are simply lacking like 10 years of development behind KDE.

Not gonna say that once ready it could simply be better, faster, more streamlined, no cruft. But yeah, not in the next few years.

Interesting, thanks!

I know Fedora has some meta-theme package, they should add that to Workstation too.

It includes the breeze themes.

Then a flatpak env var or /etc/environment could work

Already did that. Those apps are themed horribly and are thus unusable. Afaik there is also no scaling setting for 3rd party toolkits in the COSMIC settings.

Ark can do more, like compress in detail, from the filemanager.

Gwenview is an image editor with many basic features you want.

Spectacle has another image editing feature, for some reason KDE has 4 implementations of that, Spectacle has the only good one. This can be used standalone with the Dolphin extension "annotate it".

Dolphin is waaay better than COSMIC files, absolutely no comparison. If it is just a customizable GUI, custom icons for everything, extensions.

I dont ger Thunar. pcmanfm-qt is the best alternative to Dolphin I know. At least the theming works on KDE, may be different on other desktops

Tbh as long as COSMIC lacks 1:1 theming support for KDE apps, it is not usable.

I love KDE Apps. There are also some GTK Apps I use, but the big ones (Dolphin, Okular, Gwenview, Ark, Spectacle Editor) are all KDE.

Yup.

Yeah why need a 3rd party client if Qt works on all platforms too...

Yes this is really wtf.

Linux even has a webview. KDE has QtWebengine, GNOME has WebkitGTK.

There also is Tauri, which seems to be a way better solution.

I rely on 4 Electron apps and hate it.

(Signal, MullvadVPN, Nextcloud, FreeTube)

I am pretty certain those are the reason why my RAM use is to huge, 6GB with no open apps!

ChromeOS is so nice because all these optimized apps simply really run in the same browser. Android the same.

I think Windows (and MacOS?)are also pretty good there... because they have marketshare.

But well, did you know Office 365 for Mac is 5,2GB???

Yes ok, so that is kinda fine.

The app is still huge. And using separate accounts is probably a workflowbreaker for many.

But good that at least that works kinda :)

Yeah probably. Installing Mint and GNOME or Plasma on there will be waay easier.

Haha no, not even KDE devs use it.

I am on Fedora Kinoite and happy. But this was about Ubuntu, and Fedora simply serves a different use case. Kubuntu and KDE Neon are both Ubuntu LTS.
