Nice, having a new alternative to virt-manager is great, especially a Qt one. Unfortunate it's using Kirigami and Qt Quick, I always felt the appearance and functionality is much worse compared to Qt Widgets.

Plasma's shell is in Kirigami and Qt Quick, it couldn't be more consistent and integrated into the DE than that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No need to contact the Dutch for this one - I assume it's just "carton" with the C replaced with K

Ah, but the Dutch can get there without indirection which means they're faster than those label-swapping Anglo- and Francophones.

Karton, sounds like "cartón" but with the traditional K added to the start of the names in KDE programs.

I use Arch and love KDE Plasma. It even has a blue light filter. Am never going back to Windows. KDE runs faster, looks nicer, does not have forced adware and telemetry. Great daily driver.

I tried KDE 1.0 two decades ago. Although it looked like a copy of windows ideas in some points, it already seemed better even at the time.
