--- Comment #13 from Tyson Tan <tyson...@mail.com> --- @David Reevoy: Thank you for all the explanation. Now I can rest in peace -- knowing there has been a history of intricacies behind all these and they all contributed to the status quo. I'm relatively new to this realm -- "only" 7 years (...wait what? what the heck it has been already 7 years? and it still gives me so much pain!? arghhh) I can't imagine what you have been through all these years. I'm still a little bit hot-headed when it comes to these seemingly obvious issues. Partly because I've just switched to Plasma for less than a season and all its problems are currently frying me inside-out. Without your dedication and others' I'm sure this KDE Plasma journey of mine would have been ended months ago. Thank you for looking out for us. And just like you but only 17 years for me being part-time IT support/administrator, I can say I have put my hands on all sorts of strange software creations imaginable, yet never once had I encountered this many problems like I had on KDE Plasma. If I have to name one, Ctrl/Shift/Alt/Meta being arranged differently than any other existing major OS/DE is absolutely going top them all. I was laughing in tears when I read "this-guy-must-be-idealist-or-crazy-to-keep-using-that" -- that's also exactly what other people see me these days. My involvement is so much shallower than you because I'm merely a power user for the most part, but I'm sure my suffering is just comical in normal people's eyes. I wonder if I'm actually scaring them off from Free and Open Source Software/GNU/Linux -- all those "voodoo blood-sacrifice" moments and "enigmatic spells from another dimension" needed to make my stuff barely working -- great materials for a comic if you ask me! But to be honest I wish we can offer people good out-of-the-box impression instead of "treasure hunts" and "goose chases" like this. Well, so much for pushing changes and time to coupe and workaround, I guess. You are right, I should have realized there are many more normal users than artists. Most of them don't care or even feel comfortable with the status quo. I might have the illusion of artist being a common place because I'm surrounded by fellow artists. In reality though, it is always us artists who are making all the compromises. :P @ Everyone: If I sounded overly passionate/aggressive in the last comments, you have my sincere apology. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
