  • KDE Plasma 6 will require users to double-click on files and folders to open them by default.

This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

      DE require tremendous overhead of serv/daemons just to be able to make shortcuts/menu items clickable, I would never use such contraptions on my system.

      I use a wm and have no use for polkit, dbus, logind, automount, obfuscated rights elevations and demotions, … all this crap that unnecessarily must run for the sake of aesthetics and MS-win utility.

      If I needed icons on my background I would use just a light filemanager, like pcmanfm, but I don’t.
