The image depicts a landscape scene during sunset, with a dramatic sky filled with dark, heavy clouds. The sun is partially visible, casting a bright orange and yellow glow through a break in the clouds, creating a striking contrast against the darker sky. In the foreground, there is a small town with houses featuring various roof colors, including white, red, and brown. The town is surrounded by fields and agricultural land, with some trees scattered throughout. The horizon shows a gentle rise in the land, with a few hills visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere is one of a calm evening, with the interplay of light and shadow adding depth to the scene.

Hiding the truth for the "greater good" is one of the most cowardly, disingenuous, and sleazy moves a person can make. That politicians and bureaucrats make it daily is one of my major sources of disrespect toward those classes.
Anything that can be destroyed if the truth comes out, deserves to be destroyed when the truth comes out.
we have to make sure that is the truth
there are onion layers of truth, one layer looking bad, but only covering another layer that reverses the first layer
I agree that it's important to be confident that what you say is true before saying it. That's part of having integrity. It's also important to understand the difference between truth and belief - something most people today are very terrible at.
That said, I will *always* favor disclosure. It's far worse to hide the truth than to say something and be wrong about it. The latter can be fixed with open discussion and education. The former has no civil solution.
> there are onion layers of truth
With all due respect, this is rhetorical bullshit. There is only the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If you're splitting it into "onion layers", you're not telling the whole truth. That's also called "lying by omission".
so what if somebody fools you in thinking that there is a terrible pandemic and that you should get a shot against it
you would be telling the truth at this point to repeat their statements
but it turns out the pandemic was just a cold, and the shot could be really damaging to you
but at this point, the truth would be different
but in both cases you exercised integrity
we can take as an example pedophilia. If we learn new facts that militate towards its harmlessness, integrity requires us to admit and internalize that.

Let's start with Activities, something KDE never really talks about or promotes in any way.
An Activity is a group of virtual desktops. You can switch activities easily with a keyboard shortcut, and they have their own switcher tool. Each activity can have its own name, wallpaper, set of plasma widgets, and virtual desktops.
WHich means you can create a work activity, with a certain set of widgets that let you work more easily, and a less distracting wallpaper, and a personal activity, where you can have all the anime characters you want as a background, different widgets, and even different apps running.
Now let's talk Kwin, the window manager / compositor. You can extend it, thanks to custom Kwin scripts. It can force background blur on certain windows, have sticky window snapping, so you can resize 2 adjacent windows in one go, there's Krohnkite, a script that turns Kwin into a full blown tiling window manager, you can maximize new windows to a new virtual desktop, like on mac OS, or shake a window to minimize all others.
By default, KDE Plasma also has KDE Connect, a wonderful tool that lets you basically replicate what apple does with their iOS and macOS devices: install the companion app on your Android phone, or iPhone, and pair the 2.
And that's just a few things most KDE users probably never even knew existed. There are tons more, like Krunner. Press Alt + space, and you get a full on search box. You can have an application launcher as a right click on the desktop, instead of a context menu. You can apply a whole theme in just one click from the appearance tab. You can replace any plasma widget by another through the "show alternatives" menu item. You can replicate any desktop from any other operating system.
Thing is, no one ever told KDE users they could do that, and that's the main problem with KDE.
Fortunately, KDE devs seem to have understood that problem, because they're already working on a Welcome application: invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-w…
But that doesn't solve our power problem: it only addresses the basics everyone already knows they'll be able to do in any OS. It doesn't tell people about what they can do specifically on KDE.
The welcome app should offer predefined layouts to let people know that this is a capability they have. Or, even better, have a "+" button to let someone create their own layout.
The Welcome app should probably also be the entry point for themes. KDE has a few out of the box, just as a dark or light mode, or midnight mode, but you could also use that opportunity to tell people about the "Get new stuff" buttons that permeate all the customization throughout the desktop.
DIsplay these default all in one themes, and a very visible "get more themes" button right from the start.
The Welcome app is also the perfect entry point to talk about KDE Connect.
For activities, there's a simple path as well. When a user enters the settings for Activities, or maybe uses virtual desktops for a while, you can just prompt them with a small notification, easily dismissed, or just a simple banner in the settings that might be related to virtual desktops.
Same goes for all Kwin scripts and all extensions: instead of hiding the kwin scripts in their own settings page, you could also make them more visible in the default window options.
