(Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu: https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/12/24128640/microsoft-windows-11-start-menu-ads-app-recommendations)
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social the ultimate jab would be shelling out an ad on Windows so to advertise the adlessness of KDE 😁

The figures for open source for the months of February and March 2024.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Also no spyware and bloat. and all the source code freely available.. Million times better. 💙
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social look no ads is a crazy selling point
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social also no telemetry data! Unless yopu choose so, I did but only a little.
Love ♥ my KDE environment.Me love some KDE Plasma.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social let's see Paul Allen's start menu
The app promotions can be disabled in the Settings section of Windows 11, but it appears that Microsoft will enable these by default
This should just be outright illegal for any new feature which "adds" "content". Guess it will be another one of those funnies like the joke birthday-candles you can't ever really get: update, "oops" reset your preference. Fucking moneygrabbers, it's just never enough is it.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Using KDE Plasma on the Steam Deck is such a nice experience.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Maybe you should add an (removable) app showing adds linke Windows, so people coming from MS Windows feel more "at home" -- later they can remove the ads and even be more happier then ever!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I'm using that exact desktop environment on the Debian 12 machine that hosts my instance
I'm really curious to know which version of KDE Microsoft was copying that gave them the idea to insert ads in the first place....
It miss all the different fullscreen popups about choosing edge, Windows Update reboot now or i will do it anyway things.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I thought Windows already had ads in the start menu ever since Windows 8 and Windows 10.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social i absolutely love KDE plasma and it's gotta be my most favourite DE (and i especially adore krunner), but honestly, all of the DEs are good! (LXQt my beloved too)
KDE slaps. Easily the best desktop experience of any option.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is there any distro for Raspberry Pi with KDE? I’d love to give it a try 🙌🏻
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Ob unsere Kinder wohl noch computer kaufen können werden, die ihnen gehören?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I would love to use something like Plasma, but there is no equivalent of windows-rs for me to write my own tiling window manager on top of the DE in a sane language 🙃
Lol windows
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social plasma windows port when /j
@kde There already a solution available for that. My Win11 doesn't have ads, but i don't use it that often anyway.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social hello! I actually have Windows 11 on my pc. This Plasma have the same functionalities but no ads?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social gotta keep the growth grind going somehow.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Oh, KDE! *chuckles*
