Plasma 6 Bugs

If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org/, check whether it has been reported.

If it hasn't, report it yourself.

PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

How about sorting out all the deprecated stuff on store.kde.org ? Many themes, plasmoids etc. dont work anymore, especially in Plasma 6. Would be good to only show working ones.

What a useful post!

I am so tired of the 3453254345 Windows and Mac themes which are just slight recolors of one. Icons somehow can have one entry with multiple downloads for different colors, yet themes keep getting separate entry for minimal color changes. I also hate Windows and Mac theming hidden behind names which don't mention it. I hate suddenly getting Apple logo icon when I just wanted a new icon pack.

I know we are kind of boring with this, but...

This sounds like the perfect junior job anyone can do, with or without technical knowledge and zero need for coding, but that would, at the same time, substantially improve users' experience.

KDE is a Community with fuzzy edges, not a company, not a members-only club. Use the links in the page mentioned above 👆 and explain how you want to help.

Edit: And, yeah, you would very likely get a more positive reaction to what can be boiled down to a valid suggestion if you expressed yourself in slightly politer terms.

I agree. The Breeze theme is so good that I've never felt the need to customize Plasma.

There's no such thing as deprecated software, only insufficient modded distro. Your hunt for paleolibraries should be more thorough.

Only joking of course.

And how do you intend to implement that filtration? Will you hire a bunch of moderators and testers for KDE, or a team of developers to automate the task?
