  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    After testing LM with Cinnamon, and a ubuntu based distribution with KDE… KDE is just better.

    this. im so sick of everyone just telling new people to get mint. cinnamon isnt the best choice for every new person. i hate that its just told to every new person, point blank.

    Is it KDE Neon? I've been curious if it's any good, haven't tried. It's just Ubuntu LTS with Plasma.

    It isn’t! I used TuxedoOS.

    The main reason was that I have a tuxedo laptop, but they also adopted the same moves as mint: mirrored Ubuntu’s repos for privacy, and disabled snap by default. Also, moved ping/internet connectivity check to their own server.

    I do believe the packages are a bit outdated but same problem on Mint

    I think KDE Neon is more up to date with the packages but still use the default servers, so Canonical gets some of your pings

    Btw tuxedo should work just fine on a non-tuxedo device. The custom optimizations should stay disabled

    Also, as others have talked about it, it’s not bleeding edge KDE but stable KDE, but it’s a recent version so the desktop environment feels modern

    Sorry for the slow response, I was busy

    Neon is great, but don't use it for mission critical stuff. I've had updates brick my system before because it's bleeding edge for KDE.

    [–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

    kde neon is their testbed I believe, but there are other distros shipping it too.

    opensuse leap and thumbleweed defaults to installing kde plasma. leap is the slower moving version, thumbleweed is the bleeding edge rolling release distro, if you want to try it.

    fedora has a kde edition, that too seems to be stable, maybe its more polished too
