KDE Plasma 6 Linux desktop environment review and demo using the KDE Neon Linux distribution. KDE Plasma 6 was released …
You can move between virtual desktops like in gnome using CTRL+ALT with your arrow keys, which I find to be much more useful. Also using 2 rows makes it more compact.
Great video as always! I also love KDE Plasma, but I am still on Plasma 5 for the time being, as I was waiting until a few more bugs are fixed. Upgrades can be exciting, but there might be a few things to manually solve afterwards, especially with the transition to Wayland (which seems to be way better now with fractional scaling support and ICC colour profiles).
I might upgrade this weekend!
Looks nice, but I have always been of a mind that the desktop shouldn’t get in the way, and so I shall remain an XFCE user.
Based!
Deus tira de mim essa vontade de desinstalar o gnome e ficar horas customizando o KDE
Finally, Kevin the Hamster gets the international recognition that he so richly deserves. Thank-you so much for mentioning him.
I used to run kubuntu until KDE zapped all my desktop widgets and never replaced them with anything remotely similar. I’ve never forgiven them and have run Ubuntu MATE ever since. I have zero use for a desktop dock, and in fact it’s a giant minus for me. I can’t stand Gnome either. I’ll stick with the MATE desktop for the foreseeable future. They don’t keep changing things just to change them, and the UI is exactly what I want.
Would you say this would be the ideal OS for someone who is relatively new to Linux Distros?
Great video, thanks!
I had tried KDE in the past, using Kubuntu and Garuda, loved it but always lost the desktop after updates. Now I’m daily driving Nobara (since KDE 5) and so far it’s been brilliant.
the compiz cube is a classic. I doubt many actually use it in their day-to-day, but it’s a bit of nostalgia we’re all happy to see there.
KDE is the best.
The End.
Have they unbroken the desktop in Plasma 6? Different wallpapers, widgets, the cube works again?
Plasma 6 is great. Been using it since almost day one. It’s snappy and responsive, works great on Wayland, and has been very stable for me. I’m very happy with Plasma 6. When the regular release distros move to it, I think a lot of people are going to be very happy with it.
The cube is a nostalgic good thing
I’m a long time Xfce user, but if I couldn’t use Xfce, I would happily choose KDE over Gnome without a second thought. I did use KDE for a while several years ago when I tried Kubuntu on a spare computer. It was a fine experience then and it still looks great today.
I’ve never thought of calling the three lines (which I thought was just another version of the three dots, or an elipsis in other words) a HAMBURGER. That’s really funny.
Hi Chris, why do you keep deleting my reply to @Prazibetel-lx on here? Twice I have replied with some insight and twice you have deleted it. Just wondering what I did wrong?
I have enjoyed KDE on Ubuntu Studio for several year and now that there is Wayland support it’s just a dream to use. I’ve never been a big gnome fan; it’s a little to cartoonish for my taste and I saw the floating dock to singular in functionality. I like a clean interface so I hide my dock and use gnome-pie to quick access my most used applications.
I still remember KDE1 in Mandrake 5 this was my first experience with Linux.
