Re: KDE theme wipes user's files using 'rm -rf'

Yes, MX KDE users will also be vulnerable. Yet another example of why I appreciate having become old, dull, and boring. Defaults are almost always just fine with me. "Themes? We don't need no steenking themes." @uncle mark :number1: You are pure "TREASURE" ;) I hear that all the...
