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.

But this is a main fetaure. It shouldn't be capable of just bugging out.
You'd think walking was a basic feature of humans, but so many do it incorrectly.
It doesn't seem like you're a engineer: everything and anything can fail. It's just how the world works.
Well... I guess not everyone's as smart as you, then.
Just press F5 when that happens. It's not that deep
First - this is a stupid take.
But second - KDE is easily the buggiest de/wm I've ever used. Things just not working sometimes is basically a feature.
I haven't had issues with bugginess in years, but it probably depends upon how you're using it.
Not been my experience at all.
KDE has been stable recently unless you're on some rolling release.
What, you would find it ok, if, let's say in your favorite text editor, the text cursor just stopped moving?
Another stupid take. You're on a roll.
Ironically you comment like you were actually a contributor on slashdot. Curt, rude, short, holier than thou
Have you donated to KDE? Have you contributed to its development? Cause you sure as hell didn't pay for it so maybe shut up or be a little more grateful that a free and open DE is only a few features away from a competitor developed by billion dollar companies
Go back to slashdot in the '90s with that attitude.
I mean you're criticizing a piece of free software like they made it just for you. Grow up and have some perspective
Oh my - yes the KDE team is surely above criticism.
Hey man, they gave us Kdenlive. That thing has singlehandedly taken down Sony VEGAS Pro and so many other worse, closed-source, commercial video-editing programs. If you dislike Dolphin, find any one of the other thousands of file managers, but don't attack KDE.
Holy hell kdenlive has been one of the buggiest apps I have ever used. I've wanted to like it so much but just about every time I've tried to use it for simple editing, combining clips, etc. it has just crashed at some point.
Now it has gotten more stable lately, but boy did you pick the worst example for stability...
lol I guess I dodged the instability because I was using it on Windows all these years up until a few months ago, where it was mostly fine!
To be fair - it has gotten a lot better in the last few years. For a while though it was super frustrating.
