The Space-Time Continuum of KDE's Activities

Read Original

This article examines the conceptual design of KDE Plasma's Activities feature, addressing user confusion about its relationship with virtual desktops. It discusses whether Activities should be viewed as orthogonal or hierarchical to desktops, critiques current UI metaphors, and proposes representing desktops in 'space' and Activities in 'time' to create a more intuitive mental model for users.
