I'd say Windows 7 was last that was relatively normal, even though I was all in for Linux even then. It had fairly coherent UI, wasn’t crazy about adverts, it didn’t feel like 10 layers glued on top of an old OS so that it could make impression that it’s contemporary. It also didn’t try to be anything but desktop OS

Uhm yes, that's intentional

Yes, that’s the only occasion when I open Lemmy

I couldn’t find better screenshot, but I’ve definitely seen this happening due to zombie processes after just regular use, rather than just broken mount. I feel like it’s handled way better nowadays though.

It’s not that it’s complete dealbreaker. I manage network shares on my own via fstab and it’s fine, just not very user friendly.

Besides, what do you mean no fractional scaling? It’s supported since 6.0 and improved significantly since then with more improvements to come. Even Firefox now handles it very well (in my use). I have good time even with weird scaling factors like 180%, 155% etc

I really wish they replaced KIO with something new or make it actually mount network shares similar to gvfs, this is ridiculous it’s still like that after all those years

Loving just the stock KDE Breeze theme

Exactly this, I have smoked for years and absolutely HATED that I smoke. It’s a blessing to be non-smoker.

The pro-smoking arguments are usually really dumb like “it’s for socializing” or “helps me release stress” or “allowing me to have a break” - all rubbish and can be debunked in seconds

I wish that wishful thinking to be true
