Countdown from 100 -> 0 --> #1 (last 12 months)

For interesting topics. But remember this is a Linux Forum.

You can talk about other distros here, but no MX bashing. You can email the developers of MX if you just want to say you dislike or hate MX.

I understood what he was talking about, but the term he has been using repeatedly on the Forum is politically loaded in the USA--hence my MOD comment.

Yessiree

Thank you for your understanding & support - it was a simple statement-of-fact ... no more, no less

Regards

That last is a big hangup in the KDE user's community.

MX has now stalled at 4682 on DW - the first time in a very, very long time
One can only wonder why - especially so close to the recent kernel-fiasco

I'm not surprised that this happened to Ubuntu, they went all corporate without taking care of their community. It's pretty obvious to me that all they care about is 3 letter acronyms like ROI and IPO...

Unless you use pkexec like our version of KDE Root Actions, which I copied from NeptuneOS. :happy:

MX has now started its downward trajectory - this is the first time I have ever seen this happen
It is not a good omen - again, one can only wonder if this is related to the below-mentioned
Or are there other ominous rumblings on the horizon - not everybody wants a shiny new toy.
Mostly we simply want one that works ... much like the old one, that works - tread carefully

Highest Regards

Since MX became #1, this is second time its downward. When this happen, all top distros are down. Something to do with the hit ranking.

Makes sense, Stevo - I have never been able to crash your KDE DE, ever - one O/S is <2 years old now
The same cannot be said of every KDE DE that I had used over the past 5-10 years, both RPM & DEB
KDE4 and KDE5 having been the worst, KDE3.xx being the best - great work, Sir .. :number1:
