#KDE usability and productivity weekly update
https://pointieststick.com/2019/07/13/kde-usability-productivity-week-79/
Wow, Kdenlive is getting so many bugfixes lately... How usable is it in practice for simple video editing such as stitching together a few clips from a phone and adding captions or a sound track? That's all I need, really. #KDE
https://kde.org/announcements/fulllog_applications-aether.php?version=19.04.3#kdenlive
My first #KDE patch in years, and my first attempt at using Phabricator:

Yes, it's simply a one-liner fixing a minor annoyance while building for the first time. Let's see what the maintainers will think of it.
Another week of usability and productivity improvements for #KDE

Valve hires KWin core developer Roman Gilg for gaming-related XServer and KWin improvements. Roman seems to have a ton of cool projects in the pipeline, and this makes me happy. #KDE

Tested #KDE Plasma 5.16 with Wayland and...
...still not usable 😞
In just 5 minutes, I hit all these bugs:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373907
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-66008
Moreover, setting key repeat delay and rate doesn't work and I'm not sure which component this bug belongs to, but it's been there for years.
I just drafted a #KDE goal proposal. It's about improving the user experience for setting up input methods, a longstanding pain point for me.
#KDE Plasma desktop keeps getting more usable week after week...

Finally found a fix for resizing GTK3 apps with client-side decorations in KWin. But why isn't this workaround active by default? @kde #KDE

Every time I hit a little annoying bugs in #KDE, [email protected] (Nathaniel Graham) has already a fix for it 😯
I'm impressed by his focus on quality and user experience. Something that's been absent in open source desktops for too long. @martasd
If you haven't tried #KDE in a while, it's time to give it another look: lately, the developers seem to be working extra hard to improve the fine details of the user experience. @kde
