I usually like Brody, but as soon as he said how he installed Plasma I knew the video would be a train wreck.

Better Title: KDE Dev Reacts To "WM Shill Complains About KDE Plasma 6"

@user-mz6tr3mj8q

Kinda funny how Arch users always "rtfm", the wiki says about difference between packages, and still he installs the wrong package /neu

@zebobm

The qt3d thing is purely an Arch packaging thing. It is not Plasma responsability, but Arch's maintainer.

I usually like Broodie's content but I was so disappointed with this one. I am not even a Plasma user or a content creator and if I wanted to just personally try Plasma I would't install it the way he did. Don't do that as a normal user let alone as a content creator with a sizable audience. He seems to be doing the "I am just a normal Linux WM guy trying this out", but having a reach comes with a responsibility to get things right. I am a WM user and I thought it's so unfair to judge Plasma on that angle. It's not what Plasma is. That's like judging a screw driver because using it as a hammer wasn't pleasant.

@voidmind

What sucks is not that he installed the wrong packages to begin with, but that the package naming doesn't use proper semantics to let someone know what is inside. KDE Application Bundle would be a lot more meaningful than KDE Gears. Meta package might have meaning for package maintainers, but if you don't know what a meta package is, it means nothing

@azenyr

"Arch user complains about bloat and breaks his own system by refusing to install needed components, and then proceeds to complain about how his system is broken." - is the most Arch user thing ever.

@voidmind

If there is an Edit Mode for a panel and an Edit Mode for the desktop, then they should be named "Panel Edit Mode" and "Desktop Edit Mode". Naming things without using proper semantics is again the issue here.

@Bob-of-Zoid

Brody is acting like a Linux newb trying to figure out why it doesn't work the Windows way, accept for he's comparing Plasma with who knows what?!?!?!

@wolfisraging

The fact that KDE has did so much efforts to push and keep continuing with the cube, just explains that they like gimmicks in the name of "its so much customizable omg wow".

@VallThyo

I like Brodie's content and watch his videos frequently, the problem with his KDE video is that he went in looking for a 1:1 replacement for the system he already had which is, and I have no other way to put this, stupid. Add that to he many other user-related(not KDE's fault) problems and you get the video he made.

@pinetrax

Regarding virtual desktops: Why do we have to create one before being able to use the feature? In my opinion, a dynamic number of virtual desktops should be the default and they are created as needed (obvious Gnome bias hint). If you don't use it, you would never know. But if you want, they are already there and ready. And if you need a fixed amount, just go configure that.

@shawnpeterson2523

I honestly have no idea why anyone watches Brodie. I’ve seen enough of those kind of streams.

@mizhimo

Having different workspaces on different monitors would be amazing.

You said if Brodie went into overview he would have seen the virtual desktops at the top. It actually wasn't there. He was having the same issue that i was having. Tom from Switched to Linux also had the same issue. If you go to your virtual desktop settings, and change the number of rows from 1 row, to 2 rows. The virtual desktops at the top of the screen in overview disappear. It's a bug. This behavior isn't present in Plasma 5 in the older Overview display. It works fine there. I've made bug reports on this, but they seem to have gone unnoticed.

@MNbenMN

I'm pretty sure Polonium didn't work at the time Brodie did his initial run through Plasma 6. I had tried it early on and every time I moved a window plasma crashed. A few days later updates fixed it, but I'm guessing Brodie might not have tried reinstalling Polonium before making this video.

@Blueeeeeee

I mean, for the virtual desktops thing... If there was a button to open the overview in the panel, I would have no complaints, but you should understand that for most people if something doesn't appear on screen it doesn't exist, you can't expect people who don't know the environment to press a random shortcut and call it a day...
