I actually thought about this a bit recently, and I get why most of these fags don't just fork even though making your version is piss easy nowadays. It's GitHub. It's the social media cancer - it's not about the software, it's about their precious "community"
GitHub makes it so that it's no longer about useful software, it's about social clout and gay stars. When you fork, it's an instant Twitter ratio which hurts their self worth.
This wasn't a thing when all you'd get was a tarball. God it's so fucking gay
eta: looking closer at "Kori", it looks like they just painted (uglily) over an existing Konqi drawing? Bonus points to anyone who finds the original: https://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/Mascots (I think this has all of them)
KDE is the default desktop for Steam Decks and presumably the Steam Machine. While in the grand scale of things a faggy mascot doesn't matter, it's a sign of rot.
I use my own window manager (no, it's not open source, I'm not a commie, and it is pretty shit, but it works like I want it to).
But KDE has had some genuinely great artists and designers contributing through the years, from the KDE 1 icon theme to Konqi and Katie.
The nonbinary dragon is just Konqi with horns pointing the other way (he had a horn feminization surgery).
KDE devs affirming trannies and enbies are just mentally ill men.
If someone wanted to make a proposal for Debian to switch to Cinnamon for their default DE choice for new installs what would be the prerequisites needed for that to be seriously considered?
On the subject of KDE and other DEs, I came across Trinity DE the other day. It's actually a fork/continuation of KDE 3, so it skips all the Plasma flash that came along with KDE 4, and it's also not going to abandon X in the foreseeable future. You might find it to be a good alternative to other "lower-end" DEs since it still has the (relatively) well-integrated KDE application suite available. The last major release was in April so it's still in active development. Unfortunately from what I can tell it's not available in the standard package manager library in many OSes. I'd love to give it a try some time though.
Because it allows you to escape the terror of Lennart Poettering whose faggotry now infests virtually every other distribution, Debian included? Devuan is systemd-free, the way Linux is supposed to be.

The problem (last I looked) with Trinity was that it was mostly (very) inexperienced developers trying to maintain a ton of libraries + applications, leading to some weird commits and regressions (and tons of unfixed bugs).
Even the KDE 1 revival project seemed more solid from a technical perspective (very experienced developer(s?) doing the bare minimum changes to get it to build and run).
