@machi They're pretty awesome. They would love you too! 🙂

The Brexit referendum was compromised and corrupt in so many ways. It's long past time for a halt to Brexit, or at a minimum, a new referendum done by the book.

@machi Hah. Hmm. Maybe, but a lot of cats don't like to be cuddled. 😄

My dogs, on the other hand love to snuggle. ❤️ 🐶

@oscarhall It could be that I've never really depended on proprietary stuff, and that's why I've never really had such an issue with not having that stuff already loaded.

My set-up is pretty plug-and-play. After I install the OS, I install my usual programs with the package manager, make some UI tweaks to suit my preferences, and I'm set!

I've also switched some family and friends to Fedora KDE spin the same way. My mom even uses it now, after having some virus scares on Windows. 😄

@oscarhall Nice! It's cool to hear different success stories with it.

I am not familiar with WPS office or Fondo, but maybe there are similar programs available that will work with Fedora / KDE that you can use, if you like.

@jeffalyanak Yeah. They'll probably go for a cute interactive logo instead. 👀

@art I might be a jerk for pointing this out, but I don't mean to be:

"Affect" is the right word for your post, rather than effect. I hope you don't mind me saying that. I mention it because I would want someone to tell me if I mixed them up. 😬

@machi That said, I really don't mind cats, myself.

@machi So many people hate cats, which is completely understandable (they're total assholes), yet I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone say so *online.* I think that may be because cats are this weird Internet thing that it seems everyone is supposed to like. 🤔

@Gargron Nice! You can relax though. Bill Murray says everything is easier, and you do everything better, when you're relaxed. I think he's right. 😀

@misty Oooh. The Hackery seems like such a neat place, yet I've still never been there. I really need to check it out one of these days.

@oscarhall I've been using it for about three years and absolutely love Fedora KDE spin. It's the most solid and refined desktop OS I've ever used. Definitely, not enough people are aware of the system and how good it is.

I was running Kubuntu on my laptops for years before that, which became practically unusable, and OpenSuSE for a while after that, which was great but not quite as refined as Fedora KDE spin.

@oscarhall @aetios It actually does consume significantly less resources than it used to.

KDE Plasma now has a smaller memory footprint than both Gnome and even xfce.

@laser . . and teletype didn't even have a block button back then!
