I'm wondering how to respond to the development of KDE.
Plasma 5 has added these loving gems; 1 2 which seems to be due to transitioning to Wayland regardless of the cost.
Today I discovered I can remove the extra mouse click / keyboard command to get to an applications menu which is configured in a logical place found in System Settings -> Startup & Shutdown -> Background Services.
The KDE team seems to be in tune with the Gnome team with both working hard to satisfy an evolved and changed customer base that isn't real outside their imagination.
I'm wondering if I should ride out what's happening and the hangover to follow or move to MATE or even give Hannah Montana Linux a try.
