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.

It’s not a big deal to anyone except you.

Wrong, this is a big deal for the developers, for the users and for any maintainer of packages.

And this wasn’t a big change or new feature so they decided to implement it. It’s pretty bold to assume this was a huge change.

It is by definition a big change. And I defined it in my first reply. As you ignore all of this and waste my time, I will not read any further and block you now.

The KDE team really should consider a 1 year bug hunting phase without bigger changes like the thing about desktop edit mode we discussed here. This is my suggestion.
