You can just turn that off. You know that, right?

EDIT: also, the icon doesn't show up in the position the OP's screenshot shows it, at least not in my experience. It showed up right next to the start button for me, but you CAN move it around the taskbar if you want.

Honestly, stock KDE is pretty nice, i barely change a thing and feel right at home.

I add custom themes for everything and then come back to Breeze after a week because it's the most consistent and usable.

I spent hours the other day uninstalling adware from my laptop after reinstalling windows on it. It's ridiculous.

See you next update 🎉

Actually, those of us who hid it the first time it appeared didn't see this change. It's been disabled the whole time.
