One of my favourite features love it. Happy you and people who don’t want it can turn it off though so its good for all
For those who don’t need/want it, go to your profile for Konsole, then go to Mouse, and then turn off “preview colours on hover”
Now I am a KDE fanboy to the bone, a KDE eV member and past contributor to several projects … so I am kinda biased :D so “yes, yes you should” THAT SAID I know a lot of awesome folks in the GNOME project. People who really really are brilliant and fantastic folks the issue is that there is a culture of “be loudest and most self-assured and you’re the best” in certain aspects of the project and combined with the GNOME projects stated focus on just GNOME that creates an air of snobbery among some (sadly some of the people most outwardly visible) and a tendency to demand help from others but refusing to give it when asked. Its a cycle of self-proclaimed victimhood too where they consider any disagreement as either “unprofessional” or just random hostility without reason when it comes from the outside.
Which sucks. Sucks amazingly. Specifically because there are so many great folks in the project doing awesome things for others and the GNOME project who seem doomed to obscurity because of their ability to work with others and not be blustering screaming malcontents due to the projects culture (in certain areas).
EDIT: just to hammer the point home. Amazing project, amazing people but for some reason a handful of people who from the outside look like random asshats have been actively promoted to the top. Perhaps within the project they don’t appear as asshats? I don’t know. I just know that I have a very very short list of people that I avoid and would leave a project if they where in it because I have seen what they do when in power. Three of that less-than-five list are from the GNOME projects leadership.
This is probably one of the most frustrating bug tracker threads to date…
“Your theme isn’t FDO-compatible”
“We don’t care, not our problem”
“Please remove the FDO-compatible marking on your theme”
“Sounds like a YOU problem”
“Its your theme”
“… bug closed”
- https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=plasmashell
- log in
- choose Panel in the “component” list
- choose the version of Plasma you’re using
- write up the bug following the boiler plate in the text field
In a way yes, but the same “bug” is still possible. The dude was given sudo rights AND copy pasted random commands in a terminal instead of “open the GUI, look for package, install package safely” - so now certain parts of the commands are crippled because one person was stupid, but it was a very very rich and famous influencer so … yay.
Look at the image … “unless you know exactly what you’re doing”… Linus was being a moron.
He had over five paths out of the issue, one of them was PUSHED on him but nono…
EDIT: if you are gonna use something that says over and over “are you sure” and “only if you KNOW what you’re doing” and “type out yes do as I say”… seriously no safety net in the world can protect against that level of dumb

EDIT2: I am not angry at you grimaferve I just had the awkward pleasure of talking to folks who “fixed the bug” and it annoys me when rich and powerful social media influencers force others to do work by talking shit about them just because those influencers are absolute hot garbage gaaaaah! (I love you grimaferve, you rock - and you’re amazing and happy holidays <3)
