Just adding the file as you did should make it appear there right away, so make sure your .desktop follows the standard and syntax is correct.

To me this is positive news. The less appealing Windows machines are, the better. Let Windows PC rot peacefully.

KDE Connect can transfer files over WiFi, it’s likely preinstalled on anything with KDE Plasma (eg SteamOS has it by default in the desktop mode), but it can also work with GNOME with the gsconnect extension. There’s also LocalSend, Syncthing and probably many more

I’d say Windows 7 was last that was relatively normal, even though I was all in for Linux even then. It had fairly coherent UI, wasn’t crazy about adverts, it didn’t feel like 10 layers glued on top of an old OS so that it could make impression that it’s contemporary. It also didn’t try to be anything but desktop OS

I couldn’t find better screenshot, but I’ve definitely seen this happening due to zombie processes after just regular use, rather than just broken mount. I feel like it’s handled way better nowadays though.

It’s not that it’s complete dealbreaker. I manage network shares on my own via fstab and it’s fine, just not very user friendly.

Besides, what do you mean no fractional scaling? It’s supported since 6.0 and improved significantly since then with more improvements to come. Even Firefox now handles it very well (in my use). I have good time even with weird scaling factors like 180%, 155% etc

I really wish they replaced KIO with something new or make it actually mount network shares similar to gvfs, this is ridiculous it’s still like that after all those years

Loving just the stock KDE Breeze theme

I wish that wishful thinking to be true

I’m not saying the market won’t grow, yes, there’s a lot of traction lately, but it’s blown out of proportions within the Linux bubble. I still don’t see mass adoption and everyone switching over from windows just yet. Especially not within a single year. Perhaps 2030s will be the decade of the Linux on desktop, who knows.

YOTLD won’t ever happen, but getting NVIDIA drivers in order for seamless experience will definitely increase user base. It might only happen when Nova/Nouveau+NVK are mature enough to take over.

I don’t worry, I just don’t use Edge or Windows or any MS software really (except for Teams at work)

Pay up pleb

That’s actually one positive thing about AI

Wait, what happened with “bicycles for your brain”?

What a bloat

It already is GNOMEd, this is just flatpak dependencies

People are so hateful towards Windows these days. I hated Windows when it was “good”, but don’t anymore because I don’t use it or actively check on what changes Microsoft make, it’s kinda surprising that the hate became so mainstream and I only learn from media on why that is the case.
