I am just a simple user. I just wanted to transfer an idea with the intention of helping. I, as I have clearly stated, am not a developer nor do I have the knowledge to understand the complexity of this proposal. In fact, I barely know how to speak English.

And this is fine, in fact developers could need a more dialog and well voiced proposals from outside in my perspective. At least for me I always find it very helpful from admins and "simple" users. However the proposal is, as you stated, very complex and it would've been good to get some feedback from someone who understands the complexity regarding this topic. There is no shame in not knowing, but there is in not asking/communicating.

Your English is fine and probably around my level, this has nothing to do with your English, it is just a bad idea (imo) and that's fine. There is no shame in voicing a bad idea if you don't know better.

I kindly ask you not to disrespect me. Perhaps I am not up to your knowledge in the field of engineering, but, seeing your comment, I do think I have more manners than you.

I find it incredibly dangerous to response to critique in that way. If you put your proposal out there and want to learn you probably should be happy about critique and not shut it down by off-topic comment about perceived manners.

I was saying that my first impression was that it came from a troll, when I thought it wasn't a serious proposal, I hope you didn't misunderstood me there.

It was never my intention to disrespect you and I don't think I did, as well as I don't see were I was bad-mannered. I just presented my thoughts about your idea without sugar coating it. Saying "I do think I have more manners than you." has some kind of irony in itself for me.

By the way, isn't it a bit strange that you signed up for KDE just to reply to my thread? A troll fits more with your profile.

Initially I commented on a reddit /r/kde post two weeks ago where AdamSzopa recommended me to comment here. And as I said I think this proposal will hurt KDE and this is why I felt obliged to comment on that.

This proposal will hurt development of KDE and will not attract but repel developers. Potential and even current ones.

This will also facilitate KDE becoming an tightly coupled monolithic piece of hard to maintenance piece of software.

KDE Neon is rather bad for development, right now it ships GCC9 which was released 3.5 years ago. Same or worse for Clang and all the rest of the development tools.

KDE right now does not care about specific distributions but rather on agreed upon standards (POSIX, de facto standard init systems, etc), I don't see how focusing on one distribution should be better than standards.

By your proposal and arguments, I don't think you have the right experience and requirements to make such a proposal. In the way this is presented by you I find it very dangerous and potentially hurtful for KDE as a whole. Just to show you how dangerous I think this proposal is, when I first read it I thought it was satire and not a serious proposal (from a troll who likes different DEs).

The goal is interesting, but I think the plan is not adequate. File indexing, as an example, is not a feature that you can simply remove or disable by default. It is something that users rightfully expect out of their operating system.
