I’m the person who can never learn how to use the shift to capitalize my letters and use caps-lock religiously.
That is bonkers to me. To me the Shift button is for single or a few characters, while Caps Lock is for full words and sentences. Did you grow up without a Shift key or where is that hatred for the Shift key coming from? ;)
It's not hatred, but I grew up in a 3rd world country where computer teaching didn't exist until I got to college, and even then, it was one 30 minutes class a week. I didn't even know many shortcuts and key combinations until I got to the US back in 2010. I'd never known that a shift key would do such things. All I knew was capslock is to make letters caps. I guess my brain was wired differently in this regard. I'm 42 now and I'm still catching up on a lot of things I've missed out on in my young days. I've just now gotten a job as a programmer literally 2 weeks ago (the irony of not knowing how to use the shift key, right?) I'm still learning about computers. I started using Linux back in 2018 and I'm still learning about it. Thanks to Linux, my learning process has been sped up a lot. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, and I hope that that answers your question. Lol
Are you sure you were not seeing only notifications from your phone mirrored onto your desktop and not actual downloads? Bear in mind that is one of KDE Connect's features, showing notifications on the desktop of stuff happening on the phone. It doesn't mean that what the notification is telling you is happening on the desktop.
Fairly certain, as I hadn't downloaded anything on my phone when away from my PC that would have produced a notification to mirror. Also, sorry, I should have mentioned from the start that I typically run my phone in Do Not Disturb and Silent to minimize any notifications whatsoever.
On further digging I did notice that it looks as though the files mentioned in the notifications may have been downloads, but from literally years ago in, I think, every case (e.g. from 2018!). I don't think I even had Connect installed back then to have caught those notifications. 🤨
I'm right there with you. The only difference I can think of is that if there are no other widows open, it won't switch to viewing the desktop. (This is only actually a problem when doing something like playing a fullscreen game, as anything else can just be minimized.)
If you're comfortable with user-contributed task switchers downloaded with the Get New Task Switchers button, there's one called MediumDefault by user "adhe" that resembles the one I last used on Windows. I don't know if it's different in modern Windows versions.
I tried it on a real old vista laptop once and it ran terrible, but so did everything that wasnt XFCE. But a core 2 duo might be able to run it acceptably. I say give it a try :)
I use Fedora KDE Plasma and it's wonderful, but my machine is pretty new compared to what you've got there. As for widgets and panels, what do you mean complex? I've had no issues with them.
I have tons of issues on Plasma 6 with the whole thing, several bugs reported. Compared to something like cosmic panel widgets, or GNOME or anything else it just seems overcomplex and fragile. I can also imagine this results in lag and performance issues, but idk.
