From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently switched to KDE and got sooo confused by this not being default. Good they're making the change, small but important.
Noooo I've been using Plasma for over 7 years now and single click became default for me. I'll change it back anyways but still seems like a pointless change to me.
You don't need to, this is only few new installations
Isn't it nice to have options? I'm a double-click enjoyer, but honestly... I've been thinking about giving single-click a chance. Just to spice things up.
Living life on the edge, what a stud 😎
Once you get used to it, single click just makes more sense. It's more consistent with how clicking works basically everywhere else in computer software as well.
