@sn0n i made an old #ubuntu install a clone of #windows #vista (i liked it at the time) while i cloned the interface of #macosx on a #slackware #kde3
Seriously, I'm so old I remember that soundscape...
Cuz @kde / KDE 3.5 was very Frutiger Aero

⚙️ Trinity keeps KDE 3 on life support - LWN
"The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE), is a continuation of KDE 3 that has maintained the old-school desktop with semi-regular releases since 2010. The most recent release, R14.1.2, was announced on April 28. TDE does deliver a usable retro desktop, but with some limitations that hamper its usability on modern systems"
#plasma #korganizer needs akonaid-server and mariadb and after installation it just crashes...
well... I have #kde3 / #trinity repos available and you know what the ancient version works after installing six packages. UI looks just the same and usability is onbar.
Why? Because korganizer has this nice multi month timeline views and no need of jumping the monthly views like other calendars in my opinion.
still could be more intuitive.

Okay so OpenSuse still comes with #kde3?

Even today it is still possible to use the KDE3 desktop on openSUSE. In this updated tutorial, I explain how: https://www.spacefun.ch/gos
I don't know why the #MATEDesktop "clicks" so well for my brain and how much I enjoy it despite it being so quirky and much less easily/extensively customized vs. #KDE (I also loved #KDE4, despite so many people hating it; the key is to install the QtCurve Kwin and controls theme and the Diamond [something] Plasma theme and it will look amazing; glad there was a continuation like Trinity for #KDE3 last I checked, hope it's still going and I wonder if anyone will do one for #Plasma5).
@snugglybun ohh it's the f*** Win98!! Awesome!
I'd love to see it like #KDE3 !! 😻
The new #libreoffice skin by default made me downgrade to the old which had familiar grey gui.
keepin' it on the topic tried the "new" #gwenview5 was amazed that it didn't had any way to reorder the columns any more or any decent level of customization left anymore.
you can rant me all day but gwenview3 (#kde3) is/was just a better image viewer.
#pulseaudio made me consider dropping all the pulse pipewire libraries. Really, there isn't any way to change output to BT device from line out?
