From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • KDE Plasma 6 will require users to double-click on files and folders to open them by default.
  • This change is controversial for those familiar with single-click behavior in KDE Plasma.
  • Click behavior in KDE Plasma 6 is configurable, allowing users to choose between single-click and double-click.

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

This + some other quirks are what have kept me off KDE for a good while. I understand wanting to do things differently, possibly easier -- but it's hard to break old habits.

I really like single click but since this is just about the new default then I don't really care

Shame that they gave in to the haters, single click is great. Far more intuitive too, as you'd immediately tell if you ever had to guide your parents around a computer constantly reminding them in which arbitrary situation you're meant to double click and in which to single click.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. In the the next issue of Linux Magazine Torvalds talks about the new default in the single click behavior of Plasma: "KDE, fuck you"
