I miss the Unity desktop :(

@immychan but you can have #kde #plasma 😁

I never used Unity, but I can empathize. I still miss KDE 3. It was the perfect desktop for me. To this day I still wish that Konqueror was the file manager over Dolphin.

@tigzikk @immychan You can still use Konqueror as file manager, it is still maintained and is since one week completely KHTML-free :)

@tigzikk I'm quite interested about what you miss in KDE 3. I never used KDE 3 and Plasma 4, so I don't know what is missing from this era.

@carl well, KDE 3 (maybe even 3.5) was out when I first switched to Linux (coming off of WinXP). So a tabbed file manager, integrated shell, the ability to view images/PDFs without having to open another window were all new and great. Then KDE 4 landed pretty rough. It's probably a lot of unwarranted nostalgia, I also had a lot more free time to mess with things back then.

One thing I don't miss: manually modifying my xorg.conf
