Why the fuck aren't you using kde plasma? are you retarded? plasma 5.13 has insane blur effects and is fucking insanely stable. unironically the best linux desktop environment
Distro recommendations : kde neon, kubuntu, arch, opensuse, manjaro
I would definitely not call it "fucking insanely stable", though. Coming from xfce and i3 was quite a shock. It's definitely working well, though. Finally!

If you're not on ancient hardware, you can use plasma wayland. On my machine, it's working (for now).

Henry Morris
It's bloated and trying to reduce the bloat breaks the system
Owen King
If you are either of those you wouldn't be using Loonix
Benjamin Perez
Everyone knows that Windows 10 brings underpowered hardware back to life, of course.

Here's your reply.
Aaron Taylor
so, debian when? I'm on testing for this shiny new shit
Dominic Brooks
Should I use KDE Neon? Or should I just grab Debian and install KDE? I'm not really a fan of Ubuntu. Will Debian Stable have the latest KDE Desktop?
Justin Turner
it's embarrassing when you outdo apple and microsoft at making your os look like a tablet.
Jack Cook
lol debian stable will have to wait a looong time to get 5.13. testing or sid if you really want to use debian. otherwise neon. 5.13 on neon released a couple of days ago, always gets the latest plasma updates first. though better wait for a couple of weeks since neon reportedly has a few bugs right now
Chase Morris
what kind of bloat are you talking about?
Joseph Gomez

>Why the fuck aren't you using kde plasma? But I am.
Pretty sure it's just the usual "it's not minimalist therefore it's bloated" autism.
Luke Gray
>using screenfetch instead of neofetch major yikes
Matthew Brown
when is it coming to gentoo repos?
Adam Harris
>using any kind of redditfetch *snap*

What do I need an entire DE for? I just watch anime and use imageboards
But I am, made the switch a couple of days ago. Long time XFCE/Debian user, used to dismiss KDE out of hand, thanks to the shutshow that was KDE4. It's gonna take a while to get accustomed to zypper but it's worth it.

Plasmas design philosophy is pretty much a windows 10 clone.

>anno domini 2018 >firefox still needs the opensuse patches for kdialog support Thanks mozilla. I'm seriously considering moving to something c*Romium based.
Jace Hughes
Absolutely, same here. But I got so used to tree style tabs that I can't see myself switching. There was also the thing where uMatrix was supposedly less effective due to webextension restrictions in Chrime.
Colton Gutierrez
Nobody sane will use it, until it has tiling, full wayland support and a working browser
Nolan Rogers
I am actually interessted in a laptop with that case, looks nice
Gabriel Lewis
>Plasmas design philosophy is pretty much a windows 10 clone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Plasma_5 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10 Except Plasma 5 was released a whole year before Windows 10. Not to mention that it doesn't even have to resemble the default design, due to various theming capabilities.
Nolan Collins
search kde slimbook. it comes with neon preinstalled. don't buy first gen, get the second gen, it's rock solid
Josiah Jones
Here's your reply.
Grayson Cooper
Also Plasma 5 is actually consistent unlike Win10
Nathan Lee
Its nice and all, but ive had 2 hard freezes the past 24 hours running KDE neon with 5.13, its not as stable as i hoped
Levi Harris
haha loser
Jackson Parker
Fuck you kde shills. you do currently have the best desktop but the shilling is relentless. there is no reason why you have to make daily threads just talking about how "great" KDE is. window managers are much better than DE's anyway.
Camden Johnson
900 MB just for showing a wallpaper, the time and wifi status
Xavier James
I had to do a double take since I thought this was the jamaican flag.
Nathaniel Morgan
>plasma 5.13 has insane blur effects Precisely because of it. Call me an assburger but I fucking hate time/resource wasting animations. I disable them on every single fucking thing that allows it.
Thank God andropoverty isn't locked down to the point where you cant disable animations (yet).
Robert Jackson
Feels good, my dude.
Waiting for the Backports PPA to update to 5.13. It's gonna take a while, but no need rush. 5.12 is solid.
I would but I can’t get my trackpoint to be as fast as it is with just xorg, i3 and built-in kernel drivers. No matter how I tweak the awful mouse settings panel it just isn’t as good.
Jaxson Phillips
>FOSS >shilling You should know better. It's also no one else's but the developer's fault Gnome is at its current state. >window managers are much better than DE's anyway For underpowered, old hardware - definitely.
Brody Gray
why did they have to rig the fucking votes to make the best mascot lose ;_;
Xavier Martinez
>not using i3-gaps on a libreboot memepad
Jordan Howard
I want to fugg libbie.
Liam Cook
Currently on Neon. Not bad at all. Blur really fucking insane shit. Simple thing but great improvment.
