If you're on Openbox WM/DE/"no-DE" and sometimes KDE stuff comes up all of a sudden in response to keybindings...

Something you've done or some upgrade is triggering or auto-starting kglobalaccel5.

It somehow takes precedence over Openbox' own keybindings, and will bring up random/sometimes coincidentally related KDE/Plasma program, set by default (or not) to the same keybindings.

It can perhaps be triggered by some "random" KDE programs you start, I guess depending on environment variables and whatnot. Besides eventually being set up in some kind of xdg-autostart thing...

Sometimes apt-get manages to install stuff that synaptic will fail or refuse to

Tags apt-get, synaptic

I'm not sure it's some configuration I have on synaptic (maybe having the stable-security as the prioritary release? I'm not sure it's set as such, though), or some inherent difference between both (I used to think it was just a GUI frontend to apt-get that would do pretty much exactly the same, once you click to "apply" at least, but it may not be the case), but in some cases synaptic will fail to install some packages, and not really give an explanation why. But the very same package...

More important than visual "dark modes," DEs and programs should have a "detailed/compact design" setting/flavor that can be set immediately

When start some random file manager in its default GUI settings, I almost shriek in despair. It seems it's always over-padded design, with huge icons everywhere, with menus always hidden somewhere.

I like detailed lists of files most of the time. This concept is just brilliant, you have all the info you can need in a neatly organized design, can quickly order the listing clicking on some attribute-label at the top and so forth. A great addition over the years were the instant-filter...
