I can understand your frustration with KDE 5 - I've also been annoyed with it since about 2014 and it just doesn't get any better. But why are you switching to Windows because of it, just change the desktop, XFCE is also very good. Linux has nothing to do with KDE - it only provides the interface. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
