And I've long since switched to a streaming service. But I am still on a Linux desktop —and KDE. :)

It got revived suddenly, there's going to be a new release soon.

I'm unimpressed.

This is to a bug that, according to their public communications, was fixed years ago. Except of course that it's still present. But other than that, it was fixed years ago.
