The investment will be used to strengthen the structural reliability and security of KDE’s core infrastructure, including Plasma, KDE Linux, and the frameworks underlying its communication services.

    I’m not sure I follow your gripe about multi monitor handling. You can add completely independently customized toolbars and set up the task manager to show icons for windows just on that screen or on all screens.

    I daily drove gnome for a few months, but it was back in like 2014. What features make it better for multi monitor setups?

      That is my gripe haha. I don’t want independent bars, I have five monitors and every little change has to be done four more times and it’s infuriating lol. I want to be able to sync them like I can with dash to panel on gnome, but KDE handles it in such an odd way that it’s even hard to script cloning the task bar changes to other monitors.

      The way gnome is built around extensions makes it very likely that if you have a pain point, someone smart enough to make an extension to fix it probably did too. I was able to make a very comfortable experience with it.

      I also really miss ArcMenu :( I tried so many KDE menu themes and they are just so janky

        Ohhhh okay, I suppose that’s fair enough lol. I hate having the same taskbars on every screen, so it makes sense that this behavior wouldn’t have really been noticed. I’m really surprised that there isn’t a way to mirror taskbar setups, til.

          Yeah im originally a windows boy lol. I grew up with it, and now I just cannot stand not being able to see everything on all monitors. It’s one of the major reasons I haven’t been able to get used to virtual workspaces / virtual desktops. Something about a window being hidden off into the void until I switch over to it just doesn’t work for me
