I didn't mean to be passive aggressive, this is just how this change effects me and probably some other people that will either stop using it or stop using kde all together. UI/UX is a really complicated field and then there is the consideration of changing the way many people expect their computers to behave when they are using them. I don't think you'd be pleased to find out one day after updating your computer that some linux kernel developer thinks it's more natural for your laptop to vibrate while using keyboard because there is a driver supporting touch screen displays. And I looked at the source, originally I wanted to make a PR that would add another effect entry and settings updater that upon detecting that this old version of effect is active would switch to this new one, however the automatic tool for reversing git commits doesn't work on that piece of code because there were being made other changes to it. I don't really know C++ or any other native (non-garbage collected) language so I don't really know what I'm doing while editing kwin code. And that's when I messaged you about this change but I got no reply so after waiting some time I decided to open this issue. Also I don't think that brushing off issues like this as "There is source code, go look at it and compile for yourself" is the right way to deal with them. Many people using linux desktops these days aren't programmers and don't even know about something called bug tracker so they don't have a voice in this discussion. > Switching to a spring animation did make sense for a couple of reasons: > > - to make the animation that's played when releasing fingers look more > natural I'm no expert however I don't think how UI/UX works when using keyboard > - I chose an easing curve in the older version of the effect that matched > the look of a spring animation, so we could unify some code paths > > but yes, the main reason that motivated me to switch to a spring animation > were touchpad gestures because well... 5.26 added support for them in the > slide effect. Ok, so the use case of "I'm using keyboard to switch between desktops" is no longer supported/valid and/or considered an edge case? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
