That’s was weirdly aggressive. I’m trying to understand motive and you respond with dismissal, which means you either considered the inquiry an attack or that this project is actually dumb and that is not a satisfying answer.
Instead of chasing the dismissal and turning this into an internet slap fight among the most limp-wristed on Lemmy, let’s get back to my question: why do this?
Does this solve a UX issue? Is there some incredible performance advantage? Does it solve a problem? Is it an interesting technical challenge where something shouldn’t be possible but a neurodivergent paused his Minecraft videos and said hold my beer unconvincingly? Why was this done? Help me tune into what makes this impressive.
It solves the problem of having nostalgia for KDE 3.5, along with the problem of being curious about what KDE used to look like some time ago
Didn’t plasma have a theme for that already though?
Because they wanted to and some people may use it.
