minus-squareNaibofTabr@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up46·4 months agoKDE has a really nice suite of applications and utilities. No other desktop environment really compares on that level (and Amarok is back!). XFCE &etc are also good if you are running lightweight hardware (not just old hardware) but still want a desktop environment. CLI is best for servers and remotely managed/headless systems.
minus-squareboredsquirrel@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·4 months agoKDE has crazy complex apps like Krita, digiKam, KDEnlive, Kate, Konqueror, etc etc. They went more minimal and dedicated over time Amarok -> Elisa, Kasts Konqueror -> Dolphin, Falkon/“just use Firefox” I dont get why we have Gwenview, Kolourpaint, Spectacle edit and digiKam though, this feels absurd

minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-24 months ago and Amarok is back Was Amarok gone? I used to use it maybe 16-17 years ago even though I used GNOME rather than KDE. It was the best music player I’d found on Linux. I’m finally switching back to Linux so I’ll have to try it out again! These days I usually use Plexamp though.
minus-squareNaibofTabr@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·4 months agoDevelopment was dead for years, so dead that it wasn’t included in new release repositories Clementine was a fork that was pretty good, but I think had more ambitions than active developers. Strawberry later forked from Clementine and is still being developed, and they’re doing well, but they aren’t building on the KDE framework.
