Congratulate me brothers, for I have seen the light
Ended the meme minimalism, the screen tearing, the manual configuration for it not to look like shit. I'm home now

What?
I use openSUSE tumbleweed KDE/plasma btw (not OP)

there's a bug in kde framework 4.6 that a .desktop file can execute arbitrary code without any escalation. so if you get slipped a .desktop file with a virus or anything on it, your system is completely compromised.
Noah Rodriguez
Welcome bro. You now dwell within the confines of Plasma forever
Charles Flores
Volountary abstract "exctract ZIP" : faggot.
Daniel Ortiz

oh nice, please extract the archive I sent you :^)
Jackson Powell
ok
Nathan Moore
the patch is out but most distros haven't rolled it out yet, almost all kde systems are vulnerable
a single .desktop file anywhere on the system is all it takes, it will be instantly executed
Julian Rodriguez
Don't worry about the exploit, just don't download any .desktop files, unless it's part of a known good github project or something.
Congratulations OP, welcome to the master race. KDE can be configured to be a clean, productive desktop environment. I keep coming back to it no matter how much I distro hop.

Yep, I’ll stick to my minimalist setup thanks.

You were saying? You're probably confused because KDE is on 5.16.3 or something like that, but the frameworks is still 5.6 because it is independently versioned.
Nolan Howard
oh and the above poster got it wrong

May you see the light too someday.

arch still doesn't have the update for some reason

What a fag!
I thought I'm safe!
Well, probably gonna go back to GNOME.
How's openSUSE with GNOME?
Somehow it feels dirty to think about openSUSE with GNOME DE...

>just don't download any .desktop files
imagine being a linux user and having your entire system destroyed by a single hidden dotfile
Jace Myers
I love kde but the exploit is pretty fucking bad man.
Jackson Roberts
Don't go back to GNOME just be careful until it is patched. The asshole went public with it before notifying KDE so they're kinda scrambling right now. Normally they work WITH the vendor so that a patch can be made available before the exploit is well known, but this 1337 h4x0r wanted fame and glory instead of helping. As long as you're on a decent distro (and openSUSE Tumbleweed is one) it will be patched soon.
You rarely download .desktop files and they're usually not hidden.
Robert Gutierrez
>they're kinda scrambling right now
KDE actually patched it within an hour. The problem is most distros haven't pushed patches.

Welcome brother! Minimalism is about choice and now you can be minimalistic, bloated, super bloated, bare-minimum - anything you like. Because now, you have a choice... and fuckin impressive productivity.
Colton Brooks
Welcome brother.
