Another excellent perspective on the subject at hand

This is what I Love 💕 about the FediVerse. Dynamic and open discussions on various matters in a civil way

I've read your responses to my toot twice. Thank you 💕 for reacting.

IMHO your though process does not justify the hate you've got for localsend.

Your hate towards, the for you unknown program, localsend is **unfounded*"

Cherish the fact that there is choice and diversity in OpenSource programming.

Stable release versions for synchronizing files exist since the 1970s, not the 1990s. You've clearly not been around long enough to realize that fact **

Ever since plain simple sh existed, such programs were coded. One such program was coded more than fifty years ago and is still in active use.

Please be so kind to use wisdom and intelligence when you react and respond to toots. You acted like a typical snobbish Linux user. Reactions like yours don't contribute anything positive, no one learns from toots like the ones you posted in this thread.

I've never had such responses from the people in the BSD range of Operating Systems.

Even here on the FediVerse the diverse responses from Linux only users and programmers were not of such nature and low caliber.

I'm surprised, yet paradoxically expected your motivational chain.

** If you have been around long enough, to know open source code from the 1970s, look in the mirror and ask yourself why you have reacted in such a manner .

I will still wish you a good day / night, wherever you may reside.

I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.

There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.

For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.

And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.

Cropped screenshot showing the KDE Menu Editor app with the resultant right-click desktop menu beside it. Nothing fancy, just basic usability and customization.

I should note that you can not make the mistake of comparing KDEconnect extended capabilities with those of localsend.

They operate on totally different realms.

KDEconnect has a set of plugins which work like functional libraries. There so many that I will have to include a screenshot, just to give you a sample of what KDEconnect can actually do.

Local follows The Unix Principle; it does One thing in a does it very well.

In case you've gotten curious; you can install KDEconnect with its accompanying libraries on another working environment apart from KDE. You do not need to run a full KDE Desktop Environment.

Over here I run KDEconnect on machines which have Xfce4 running, while it's counterpart runs on a couple of Androids.
KDEconnect also runs on Ancient Android Operating Systems

The programming team of KDE does not care where you run it's wonderful software as long as you can enjoy it.

The same goes for The GNOME programming team. I run Cairo Dock and GPartED also on Xfce4. In fact I run many Gnome libraries in Xfce4 to have crucial functionality in many parts of the Xfce4 Desktop Environment. Without those wonderful libraries I would run a crippled version of Xfce4.

I will include screenshots from a desktop computer where I will show you that I run both GNOME software and KDE software in Xfce4 DE

Kennt sich eins mit #Linux #KDE #Plasma aus? Ich würde gerne auf ALT-CTRL-P => "gvim [FILE]" mit einer einzigen speziellen Datei zum Laden/Bearbeiten öffnen. Das Kürzel funktioniert, #GVIM wird geöffnet, aber nicht mir dem gegebenen Parameter (Dateiname, der mit copy&paste in den #Kurzbefehl eingetragen wurde). Einen extra #Script will ich dafür nicht erstellen.

Bei ps ax | grep vim wird gvim angezeigt, aber mit Parameter "-f", wenn ich gvim mit Dateiname aufrufe, wird der auch bei ps ax angezeigt. Unter #Mate hatte ich damit NIE Probleme.

### Problem gelöst! ###

@hisham_hm I always end up opening libreoffice calc instead of kcalc. Though that's more of my fault for typing "calc" instead of "kcalc", but I wish #KDE were smarter about this and organised entries by recency

A minor #KDE annoyance I don't know how to fix (other than diving into the source and compiling my own build of KDE which I don't want to do just for this)

Every time I press Alt+F2 then quickly type "kwrite<Enter>", I end up opening "KWin Scripts" instead, because the bar's autocomplete always matches that other app first, and takes an extra half-second to switch to KWrite.

The BSDs are *awesome* operating systems. #FreeBSD is a high performance general purpose OS. It is modern #Unix. #NetBSD is for portability, it supports nearly every CPU architecture under the sun. #OpenBSD is security-focused. #GhostBSD is a FreeBSD fork focused on the desktop.

Most of my experience is with FreeBSD, which I will enthusiastically share. It is unquestionably a solid server OS. As a desktop OS, it works quite well. It definitely does not feel like "Linux from 2004." The major desktop environments like #KDE #GNOME #XFCE are all supported and #nvidia releases drivers for the OS too. Modern hardware is supported. For *cutting edge hardware*, #Linux may be the better bet here. It's a little slower to adopt cutting edge gear because it is focused on stability and elegant solutions, not trend-chasing.

FreeBSD is an excellent OS to learn. It runs beautifully and it's more coherent and better designed. Documentation is *solid*.

Edit: Corrected errors. GhostBSD, not DragonflyBSD. Thanks @aru

Screenshot of GhostBSD running Plasma. Styling using the Klassy theme for windows, applications, icons and panel to mimic breeze. Colours follow Plasmas twilight settings. Wallpaper: "Harmony (night)" by Deniska from the old Plasma 6 wallpaper context. There's a Plasma default panel with some pinned icons floating on the left, a konsole running bsdebfetch with some system stats and three picture frames: bottom right with "RunBSD" Logo and center and top center stickers with slogans concerning "cancer prevention/mamma carcinomas". There's a bottom panel with a pager widget showing two virtual desktops. Both panels are set to dodge windows.. Wallpaper set to change during day and night cycle. A binary clock is set up to blend with the wallpaper

It hasn’t shown up in /testing (and might never), because KDE6/Qt6 is still going through heavy upstream churn — exactly the kind of instability that can break a system-wide upgrade. So Pat is keeping KDE6 out-of-tree until it’s truly ready.

So no worries our BDFL won’t disappoint.
Plasma 6 will arrive at the right moment: stable, polished, and with that classic Slackware quality. 😉
