Hello,
Ever since i move from windows to linux and kde i am very satisfied there is only one basic that i didn't see so i thought i should mention it. I myself and lots of other people who work with a lot of apps that don't fit in the taskbar like to pin them in the application launcher for quick access. In windows 10 for example you can resize the application launcher to fit more things, categorize the pinned (favorite) apps by writing the name of the category and start moving the icons of apps underneath , resize the app icons etc. Here in kde i find very inconvenient to work with many apps like that. For example when i pin an app it goes in the applications launcher's favorites and that's pretty much it. I can't resize or move things around and the favorite apps end up stacking vertically. When you use lots of apps over time things become very messy. First of all, there are not categorized so you don't know where to look and you need to scroll and scroll a lot to find the app you want. That's a problem for me and i believe for lots of other people, that i would love to see it worked out somehow. Thanks. |

A couple of options to consider:
* There's a in the kde store designed to resemble and behave similarly to Windows 10's menu called Tiled Menu: https://store.kde.org/p/1160672. You can install it by right-clicking on the desktop or panel -> Add Widgets -> Get New Widgets. * You can customize the whole structure of the applications in the menu by right-clicking on the menu button and selecting Edit Applications. There you could set up your own categories to your liking. * You can try out different application launcher options by right-clicking on the menu button and selecting Alternatives. * Most menus have a search feature which makes finding specific apps in a long list really easy. There's also Krunner which you can activate with Alt+F2 which provides a similar search interface. (now, If you have more than a dozen favorites then they aren't really all "favorites"? but then again these features are intended to facilitate access to commonly-used applications and if you commonly use that many applications then the system should let you organize them in the way you find most convenient)
