I use DDG on Edge, and haven't seen this.

I've got Mint on an old laptop. It seemed to require the least amount of fuckery to get working. No idea what Plasma is.

I just want an OS and browser, not a project.

@kde @kde I hope this can get out there, 'cause I feel like on here, you're pretty much preaching to the choir. :)

@kde what if I install Plasma on Windows? /jk

No but seriously, Plasma's really good and I'm really happy with Plasma 6 so far, it's a satisfactory experience that feels just as good as using late Plasma 4 did back in 2015 or 2016 on Mint.

@kde @kde I've been using Plasma 6 as my daily driver for three weeks now, and it's really good! I'm grateful for all the time that developers, testers, and doc writers have spent on this project. I decided to ditch Windows after getting yet another nudge to "please create a microsoft account".

@kde @kde I have fixed three laptops this way. Can confirm. 👍

@kde @kde I'd like to use Plasma, but the last time I tried it, it didn't run very well on my PC.

@kde @kde Do not fear the learning curve, for it is shallower now than a year ago.

@kde @kde I am already running KDE on my desktop and GNOME on my laptop with Fedora. Maybe when I will have tome, I will package KDE for #MatuushOS.

I remember decades ago when a US court convicted Microsoft to seperate their browser from windows. The court wrote the verdict that Microsoft ilegally tried to prevent competion . Since Microsoft lost it shouldn't be difficult to file the next suit .

I love KDE so much. If I didn't rely on certain creative software for work, I'd ditch macOS in an instant.
And I think that's one of the reasons people just aren't able to switch over from Windows.

But hey, every other computer in the house that isn't a Mac runs Fedora KDE. 😃

@kde on my latest laptop I didn't even activate Windows. I just plugged in a USB stick with a KDE distro.
Who needs Windows?

@kde @kde Guess what, Firefox does the same thing (a refresh will reset your privacy settings and your default browser, all of which affect Mozilla’s revenue streams) but they’re a tad sneakier/cleverer(?) about it.

(Firefox is not private by default so getting you to reset your settings is how they try to influence you to return to their preferred configuration.)

@kde @kde Well, I ditched Windows many, many, many years ago, but Plasma still doesn't make any sense to me, so I use XFCE. But thank you for Plasma!

kde OP , vor einem Monat

@kde

Apple had to learn the hard way: Under the DMA (thanks @EUCommission !) they were forced to give users a choice regarding the default search engine and browser on their systems.

What are we going to do about Microsoft misleading users?
