My music stopped playing, the phone rang, I answered it.
After speaking for a few minutes, I hung up and the music started up again.

It took me a second to realize that the music wasn't coming from my phone, it was coming from my computer.

#KDEConnect is groovy, y'all. It pauses your music when a phone call comes in. (MPRIS-compatible player required, of course, but even mpv on the command line can do that)

#KDE #Plasma

There needs to be a summer of code for #Plasma. That is, the actual desktop shell, UI and widgets.

It's both #KDE's call to fame, but also their detriment, because it's not easy maintaining a desktop you can fully customise using UI tooling, cus it leads to a fair deal of technical debt.

Perhaps they should create a new shell project, a barebones rewrite of the actual shell that seeks to modernise and improve the overall experience... like #GNOME did.

I await GNOME extension developers ire.

I have just submitted a change proposal to @fedora to change the default desktop environment for #Fedora Workstation to @kde #plasma

I want to emphasize, this is NOT an April Fool's joke. It may come as a surprise, given I am the lead of @buddiesofbudgie, but I am just as interested in seeing adoption of Fedora and the greater Linux desktop increase. I firmly believe that Plasma as a default over GNOME Shell would be a net positive for the Linux ecosystem.
