--- Comment #454 from michel <miz...@web.de> ---
Hello,

thank you for the XFCE recommendation.

I switched to Windows with the three computers because it is imperative that
they work in a contemporary manner. It already worked flawlessly with KDE4 and
it was a pleasure to work with it. Trying around with other interfaces is
currently not possible with these computers in their place.

Since the frustration with KDE5 increased more and more and there is no remedy
in sight, I have now completely switched "to the enemy". There everything works
reasonably well. This is perhaps the worst way, from a Linux point of view, but
a workable one. Some of my acquaintances, who "defected" to OpenSuSE at my
instigation years ago, have also taken the step back (which of course didn't
influence my decision, I'm a "Linuxer" since the beginning of the 2000s -
still...). Even they noticed after a few years of KDE experience the more and
more user-unfriendly KDE5 and don't want to go downhill.

On one of my two remaining Linux machines I can try XFCE, also TDE (the
continued KDE3) is worth another try, but it is also a fundamental question, if
I let some people, who are far removed from reality, permanently force
something on me, which I don't like - from people, who also depend on a certain
degree of cooperation with users, but completely ignore this and act as if they
were alone in the world. It is these ignoramuses who are ultimately responsible
for the demise of KDE and, inevitably, Linux on the desktop. So they can shove
their never-ending-and-never-working-story Wayland somewhere else... 

I don't have a sense of entitlement and I'm really very clear about the term
OpenSource/Linux, I've also been involved with translations of KDE software, no
question. Programming I can't do, I did a lot between 1982 and 2000 under
DOS6/QDOS and Win95/98/2000 with Basic and compilers and on a /38 with RPG and
Query and that was it - so nowadays completely uninteresting.

But I no longer want to support what is currently going on with KDE. I have
long since stopped my earlier tireless advertising for OpenSuSE in particular.
You can't honestly recommend something like that to anyone. The 12-15 computers
switched away from Linux in my environment are perhaps only a beginning.

Bye
Michael

I used deepl to translate my opinion into English, maybe you notice that.
