"a new volume mixer" - please just be an interface change and nothing dramatic 👀

Or make it open when clicking the icon instead of hiding it behind two clicks. Everytime I use Windows, I love KDE more.

Same. Switched to Linux (also using KDE) a month or two ago on my personal laptop, and I'll never go back. Using my work laptop is a daily reminder that I made the right choice.

It feels like this is how using a PC was always supposed to be. Before the profit motive ruined it like it ruins everything.

We heard your feedback and the volume mixer is now controlled exclusively through ChatGPT! Also it's their ChatGPT so you're limited to like 20 commands an hour.

It's been shown off for months. You click the volume speaker and then a second click will get you to a mixer that almost looks like Ear Trumpet. I'll probably stick to Ear Trumpet though since it's just one click
