You think we used Aero to make the video? Seriously?
AERO is the intellectual property of Microsoft. Only KDE e.V. can determine whether the use of AERO was appropriate or not under the given circumstances. I think the video is damaging the image of the KDE Community whether Fair Use is applicable or not. The video is well bellow the standards the KDE Community should be aspiring to. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's just my opinion. It doesn't necessarily mean that I'm right. I just needed to let you know what I think. I cannot emphasize it enough that this is not a personal issue in any way, shape, or form.
https://youtu.be/TJzfaqRLfpY Windows is a full operating system, while Plasma is a Desktop Environment. Now sort out the confusion that has been created. Explain them that the underlying GNU/Linux is different to Windows.

@clel No, it was for Mike.
I'll be politically correct.

I'm sorry but I had misunderstood the purpose of the task. This task is about improving single click. Has nothing to do with double click. @ngraham My apologies.
Closing because the discussion here is probably not going to yield any more fruit. Let's focus on improving the single-click UX over time.
Agreed.

The motto of Plasma includes "simple by default" but this makes it not simple because people will be forced to deal with ...
It exists though https://community.kde.org/Distributions

What's the point of so much text? Bring methodological proof of which is overall better than the other. Leaning towards what the sheeple expect is populism. Please avoid the pitfalls of democracy or else democracy may backfire. The metrics only reveal that most people are not intelligent, hence not qualified to make decisions. I don't believe in elitism proper but voting is a skill and not a random intuition. The same applies here. Thank you.
You've got my blessing.

I think I'll have to use Gimp. When is the deadline? :)

... those who like it can use a forked 5.14 Breeze SDDM theme or the Chili theme.

My objective is a win-win situation not a win-loose situation. I don't want either of the parties end up frustrated. I favor mitigation over exclusion. The thing is all desktops that are popular and/or have a significant market share use blur at login one way or the other. Would it be possible for those who favor full-screen blur to easily tweak their login (say via a third-party theme), should the proposed login pass?

@filipf I think it looks great but the input box is breaking the guidelines. https://hig.kde.org/style/color/index.html

This patch adjusts the Breeze SDDM theme to remove the semi-permanently-blurred background, which has not been especially popular.

I'm in favor as well :)
Still I find the original version with full blur and darkened background way better to read for many background pictures. I don't think it's wort it to sacrifice this usability factor to allow a better view of the background.

This task has become irrelevant. It's been fixed for quite a while now. Who maintains it then? Just curious.

Thank you, Nate.
Do you plan to share the answer with us?
@valorie Neon does not have apport. They say apport is undesirable. Do you have any idea why?
Aug 30 2018
@valorie Cool! Thank you.

You also tend to formulate your words in an accusatory and inflammatory way that puts people on the defensive.
I have translated the Neon slideshow so I'm pretty sure the text is not incorporated into images. Anyway, making the text translatable is a necessity IMO. Non-English users will not be impressed by a partially translated installer.

reports suggest kerneloops is on the ISO
Aug 7 2018
it must be frustrating for you too since you don't manage to get anything done.
Absolutely.
Surely there are more fun or productive things you could be doing with your time.
Correct.
Lol, Nate, you know what I mean. I had to formulate it somehow :)
@oysteins Let us collaborate. Please post the text from all instances right here and I'll try to re-write it in English.
Actionable path: purge all snoopware out of Kubuntu.
@ngraham Would you favor an all-image slide show, where text is incorporated into images (kinda like what Neon does)?

No space after full stop. Signing out :(
I'll look into it as soon as I get a moment.
It should all be re-written from scratch. It's way too verbose and contentwize meaningless. 16.04 actually makes some sense but 18.04 is awful. No offence intended but that's the obvious truth.
Aug 1 2018
That wasn't my intention in the slightest but I'll still take your advice.
It should have been obvious as soon as the defaults were changed. That way upstream could have been engaged earlier or the altering couldn't have been delayed. It was an unfortunate happening. All I'm saying is that maybe we can learn something from it. Lol, I'm not blaming anyone. It was OUR failure.
Oh, c'mon! Let's not blow it out of proportions. I just stated my opinion.
It was a upstream bug indeed. Which should have been sorted out before and not after altering the defaults. So the order was all wrong.
A good example of why you should be cautious when changing upstream settings.
I trust that whatever you choose, it'll work for anyone *who knows* how the desktop works so +1 from me. Still, this task lacks any logical or methodological framework.
Whatever you like, but I can't shake the feeling that you're pushing your own agenda, instead of the wider community's. You're also implying that the user base is not very smart. I don't know who on earth coined this "new user" concept that is void of any real significance and it's just a a front-end for propaganda. The user is expected to learn how the desktop works and all these deviations from upstream defaults are not very smart. This is not addressed to anyone in particular. Changing some defaults won't make Kubuntu any better.

I think it would also be beneficial for Kubuntu to consult KDE's policies on data collection and telemetry. https://community.kde.org/Policies/Telemetry_Policy and find out whether Kubuntu is compliant with those.
Jul 24 2018
Any news?
:)
Jul 18 2018
The whole point of good defaults is that they should work well for the majority of people and use cases without needing to be changed.

VLC is a Qt 5 app, which is great. We should get in touch with the devs and propose them to package it with breeze icons. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=145054
Since one can customize his/her setup, your proposal doesn't bother me at all. Different people are likely to favor one setup over the other.
Jul 7 2018
Thanks! Now we investigate the issue and try to find a fix. :)
This is my Neon setup. Hotcorner at the top-right seems reasonable to me. No matter how you set it up, there will always be somebody complaining.
Rik is right. The best possible scenario has been chosen.
In Kubuntu 18.04, there are no scrollbar arrows in Firefox and it looks better that way.
Jul 6 2018
Thank you, Nathan. It should be fixed asap.
Neon User Edition - Default Settings - No Glitch

If I kill and restart plasmashell the behavior stops happening.

@ngraham Like .pdf file that is downloadable from Kubuntu's site explaining in great detail what the packages mentioned in the task's title are and which are and which aren't included in the Kubuntu ISO by default. Just an example tho.
Kubuntu doesn't use ubuntu-report
And this as well.
It's not that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker is not documented, but it's not very obvious to the user base (if at all). Trust can only be regained by helping people to get rid of their misconceptions. Granting them easy access to information plays an essential role in it. I wonder how can this be done in Kubuntu's case.
@michaeltunnell Wouldn't you agree?

I recommend changing this to "Enabled", and in the "Configure..." dialog, set "Sub-pixel rendering type" to "RGB" and "Hinting style" to "Slight"
Please report a bug rather than creating a task here for every small glitch/bug. That way, should anyone else happen to be experience the same, they can find it in bug reports, confirm and give more info.

T7618 Probably the root of the issue.
