Even KDE has started to fall into the modern UI trappings. For example the taskbar somewhat recently became rounded and detached from the screen edges making it more annoying to reach the start button or the clock widget. But at least you can still configure it to how it used to be.

KDE is chock full of too-flat interfaces and hieroglyphs as icons, all the sins are on fully display there.

Its saving grace is that it is completely customizable for the most part, though any GTK apps will probably ignore everything.

That's not true; the corners/edges are only visually detached, they're still active for input.

You're right to point this out, but it's still more annoying because you now have to remember that consciously, rather then seeing and feeling that you can just move your mouse to the edge.

Well, I don't particularly like it myself so I don't use it, it takes literally four clicks to disable panel floating.

[amadeuspagel]

I didn't know that but now I did it.

That's even worse then, because there's a conflict between what's displayed and how you interact with it.

My only pain with KDE is trying to resize windows. I have a 1 pixel line a certain distance away from the outside of the window. I'm using an oldish version from kubuntu 22.04 though.

I might be able to help you with that. Whilst holding Meta (Windows key), try left and right-click-dragging on a window. Left-click-drag moves the window, right-click-drag resizes it. Great feature imo, for me, this flow solves any resizing issues.

You can configure the window border size.
