KDE's New Swipe Gesture Makes Windows 11 Look Bad

"Microsoft has been struggling to reach a state of convergence between tablet and desktop ever since Windows 8 and the original Surface," argues Neowin, adding "If we're using Windows 11 as a barometer of their progress, they'll likely never get there...." But meanwhile, writes Slashdot reader segaboy81, "KDE's new swipe gesture is awesome. It's about 1000% smoother than the overview in Windows 11 and the swiping mechanism is easier, too. Is KDE getting better for tablets?"

While you can achieve the same result in Windows 11 with a simple three-finger swipe up, this implementation looks great and performs great too.
