Hi Riendl,

You must be a very critical intolerant individual.  Sad that
you can  be annoyed by discussion about future technologies.

About me. I do not run servers at home,nor do I intend to.
I write software in C, C++, Javascript and I write
bash scripts. KDE is what I use, some of the time.
 
But to do all that writing of documentation I use LibreOffice,
I mainly use a terminal and vim for coding.

But when I have to correspond, I do so politely, and without criticizing others.

There is a simple saying that applies to many people.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything is solved with a nail.

There is more to KDE than KDE.I have fun and enjoyment doing and using
Linux or writing with KDE or coding Gnome extensions. Those are my nails.

Why do you not think that Google is looking to displace Microsoft Windows10 or Linux?
Android can do the job for every student in school or at work. Only programmers need
something more sophisticated.

Think like a business person and the profit that Google can make for a few million dollars
of investment into an Android desktop development.  Tablets are android devices.

Have you yet been to a restaurent where the waitress hands you a tablet with a menu
and you use it to order your meal and to pay your bill?  Where is KDE with ability to offer
that functionality?  MacDonalds restaurent has the ordering screen. It is very graphical and android like. 

KDE is great, otherwise I would not use it. But if it does not move carefully forward to match all
the new automation coming around us, it will lose following and eventually evaporate.
And yes, adding/removing/tailoring software on Android is so easy compared to Linux.
And doing so is reasonably secure. There is no user concern for root, groups and network setups.
Vendors put in smarts to take away that responsible work from you.

Is RedHat doing the right thing because KDE is not progressing fast enough?  Does KDE need
to offer integrated KDE applications for business, for networking, or robotics to stay popular
and grow in importance.  This is a discussion forum. What are your opinions?

than you are doing something wrong or not much at all - that's it

for a consumer knowing nothing but web-browsing and bascily email while
even email is used like a joke the underlying OS don't matter, but
that's not the target audience Linux has, it just can serve them too

easily to see in the way you use your mail cient not able to leave a
plaintext post in peace and quoting footers and writing TOFU

while whoever maitains the Fedora mailinglists is clueless too because
otherwise the footer would start with "-- " where the space char is
vital so that sane clients wouldn't quote it anyway
