I’m curious how the community feels about KDE neon.
Off topic, but what’s with the overprotective DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION statement on the article image? It’s a screenshot of KDE, not the author’s own work…
It’s based on Ubuntu LTS, so it’s not for me. Doesn’t make sense that you’d want a bleeding-edge DE on an old kernel and system stack. I mean, I can understand if you’re a KDE dev and you want a stable base to dev and test on, but if you’re just a power user who wants to play with the latest and greatest, then using Ububtu makes no sense at all.
I’ve used KDE Neon on my desktop pretty much since KDE Neon came to be. I don’t care too much about having the latest kernel and libraries on that machine (the hardware is a decade old - support’s not really getting better), and between the latest KDE and getting most of my other apps through snaps I’ve got the latest and greatest of what I care about there.
The whole point of neon is to showcase the DE, they say as much on the website. Unless you’re super passionate about KDE Development, it’s probably not going to be for you
What distro do you recommend?
Kde connect will finally have the function to connect via bluetooth, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.
omg really? I’ve been having to add my device by up bc for whatever reason my uni’s wifi, kde connect, and my phone do not play well together
it’s like linux mint but for kde
Yeah ut does anyone know when it will arrive in other distros’ repos, e.g Fedora, Arch and NixOS?
Not sure about Fedora, but it’s already in
extra-testingin Arch and has already been merged intomasterin NixOS apparently, so it should be hitting the general channels pretty soon hopefully.Edit: apparently the Fedora 40 beta has Plasma 6 but I didn’t check that myself, I just saw someone mention it.
Seems you’re right, as I saw The Linux Experiment was using the Fedora 40 Beta to test Plasma 6 for his review
I neither like, neither use KDE, so it is not easy to see all changes they made, but after initial quick look it looks same just like KDE looks, maybe less unpolished, but still same And there is floating taskbar. I never seem floating taskbar before, I am not sure why it floats, it even looks good, but why it does it lol?
