I didn’t mean looks as in visual aesthetics, but looks as in it seems very useful feature-wise.

But if it’s sending my data away to an AI engine as @elite says then I have 0 interest in it. That’s actually shocking if that’s the case and they are not upfront about it. I guess cloud-AI is popular but it’s not going to be popular when it’s scraping your file manager. Your file manager shouldn’t need the power to do anything that can’t be done locally anyway.

AI aka Arrogant Idiots.

The rounded corners here rubs me the wrong way for how they treated the dev maintaining kde-rounded-corners. Here is also the original MR for anyone interested Add the desktop effect "KDE-Rounded-Corners" as a part of KWin (!6024) ¡ Merge requests ¡ Plasma / KWin ¡ GitLab

Seems to have one bonus benefit. For me whenever I rebooted I could see the Grub basically rolling into place before before being able to hit enter. Since this update I’ve rebooted 3 times and the Grub screen is fully there like in other distros. I never said anything about it cause I really consider it an issue when it’s only a quick second.

I feel there are more garuda users out there in interesting positions then I had thought.

“for most people, a computer = windows”
See that’s the issue right there, I’ve been saying this for decades. Really nice video. Will share it and spread the gospel.

Fireflocked already had enough issues without adding something most will not want cause it’s AI.

It’s Foss should have had better sense than to use a article title like that.

You know…I’m betting that this is much higher then it looks then just 6% and we just simply don’t know about it. It’s kind of like, you don’t know who’s really awake to what is going on in the world till you step up and talk to them. Most people who have broken out of the matrix seem to be wise enough to just blend in with the crowd and not draw attention to themselves.

Here’s a good reason to avoid Windows…

It’s a good but comparatively harmless reason when you think about office work, emails, logins, etc., as well as telemetry, keyboard recordings, copilot screenshots, etc.

Most governments are forbidden to do such things, while Big Tech simply takes the right to snoop on everyone and everything.

I will never understand why so many users are indifferent to these practices.
