Wrong, you don't understand the mind of hackers. Any information can be a clue to the next one and the next one and the next one. Leading to personal information in files. That can be used in social manipulation in email or any number of sources. Hackers are all about destruction and/or stealing personal information used for identify theft to steal money. "A fool and his money are soon parted."He is right that KDE doesn't remove all recent documents for all the applications it says it will. It would be a lot easier to manage this if all applications just stored their entries in ~/.local/share/RecentDocuments/.Would some one please tell, which are these KDE privacy issues. I use XFCE and have not such experience.
I think he is scared that someone may see his last used files and calls it a privacy issue: If the system is properly secured (with LUKS and separate unprivileged user accounts for other users) and no one is peeping over his shoulder, the only person seeing this will be himself.
Should he get hacked, a list of recently used files should be the least of his concerns.
FYI, hopefully, I will be do a reinstall soon...
