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.

At least you can turn them off!
Annoyances should be off by default.
Edit: Funny how the sole argument for why annoying sounds should be on by default is downvoting. I rest my case.
Why is turning off a defaulted checkbox such a big deal? It’s KDE, surely you would be used to customising settings by now since they make it so easy.
Why is turning a checking box on such a big deal? Everything making sounds is an annoyance and therefore should be opt-in, just like all other kinds of annoyances such as web cookies.
Who decides what's an annoyance and what's not?
The people who are annoyed.
