linux will never be more than 1% market share. it’s 10X fragmented what Android was in it’s worst days. this will stay a nerd OS so the nerds can say ” I use linux” nothing more. Hell I am a a nerd and there are so many distos I wouldn’t know which one to even start with. Then, you can’t dual boot it like you could Mac and windows back in the day. until that happens. this is a 1% or less OS

Also: “We combined the Overview and Desktop Grid effects into one and massively improved its touchpad gestures”. Yeah, that’s great!!!
Just installed KDE 6 on Open Suse what I could see is the improvements has less clicking with a few improvements and there are some KDE applications still not ported over to 6 such as Latte but soo far so good.
Well, here we go again… Going to try wayland again with new Plasma. Looks normal and I hope it really got a little better in a terms of performance and usability. Still, I was hoping for more visual changes. As some commentators already said: breeze really feels not so modern. But for now I am okay with it.
Thanks for video, great as always. Waiting Plasma 6 to be released on my distro.
So was it worth the wait? I’ll tell you when I update, but to me it doesn’t look like it is, for now. And I’m a heavy user of KDE Plasma 5. At this point I feel like “all this ado about this?”
I don’t doubt it was a lot of work. I just hope it breaks nothing when I update.
My counter argument on single click making more sense: I accidentally click things often, especially when I am having graphical issues or lag(nothing is perfect, especially corporate lagtops)
Linux simply Rocks, I use RichARCH btw. It made it quick and simple for me to get Arch Linux installed with kickstart like automation features.
I have to wait for Kubuntu to implement it 😢. I used to be able to just dualboot and use the same hole partition, but Kubuntu changed permissions so now I can’t do that.
I’m having a lot of problems with the entire desktop freezing when a single program gets laggy on 5.27, I hope that’s fixed in 6
Also you would not believe how loudly I yelled LETS GO when I heard that KDE connect works with bluetooth now
I switched to Gnome when plasma 5 first came out because I didn’t like how plasma was. I am a Fedora user when plasma 6 beta came out I downloaded a nightly build to check it out and fell in love again. I am running a nightly build of Fedora KDE on my main laptop and have had no issues. I am really impressed with what they did.
so kde neon to get it now. how old is the ubuntu on it – it’s LTS right? will neon get a new LTS come april?
Me: woah, I really love Plasma 6! I can’t wait to use it!
Debian: hi
My upgrade went smoothly — AFTER deleting a package that caused it to fail, repeatedly (and, “Repair System,” after the reboot was useless). Searching Google and KDE provided no joy also, but, anyway:
The error message was:
cannot copy extracted data for ‘./usr/bin/signond’ to ‘/usr/bin/signond.dpkg-new’: unexpected end of file or stream
And the terminal command to fix it was:
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/signond_8.61nicofee20231222-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build10_amd64.deb
Then, rerunning the upgrade from within Discover and rebooting installed all 520 packages. Overall this was a much less painful and quicker upgrade than others in the past.
I don’t think you should accept sponsorship from closed-source SaaS vendors like Proton.
Just upgraded to fedora 40 to give this a try out. SO far things are going smooth as usual but I got more testing to do.
Single click to select and double to open is a must. Especially on touch devices like steam dexk
KDE is looking better and better each day. I say this as a Cosmic Gnome user. The Linux experience is constantly improving. Just think we could be using Windows on our personal computers.
I want to install KDE plasma 6. What should I go for Kubuntu / KDE neon User Edition / KDE neon Testing Edition
