KDE Neon general

When I was a linux user(2007-2010) I used KDE. Now I only use linux on my phone and on my cli-only headless server

VS is better than kate anyway

Neon gets new updates and fixes for KDE software by the week. You can't compare the current versions to what you saw so long ago.

I might try it out of curiosity once it stabilises, but I'm not to hot on KDE at the moment.

There is a lot of reasonably good KDE software going without being maintained, let alone kept up to date.

Large chunks of it seem antiquated.

too much purple

fuck off

>>55700433
I think it's pretty stable now, but the Long Term Support edition is in October.

>>55700934
My main concern is how old and clunky some of the KDE software is getting.
They are desperately underresourced, and I think it shows.

This looks like shit. Way too big buttons. Was this designed by Play-Doh?

Was always the 'muh only cli user' so i always ignored DEs. But this looks slick as fuck. Will try out later and maybe recommend it to Linux-Beginners. Thanks, anon!

>>55701088
The bottom right one shows that the taskbar/panel is unlocked and can be moved/customized. When you lock it, that hamburger disappears.

>>55699951
was looking for a new distro. thanks

fucking bloat

Can a 64 GB Help my RAM if I use ReadyBoost???

>>55702480
It only comes with essential applications, MORON. It doesn't even include their own video/music players and comes with VLC instead.

KDE is the future of linux, let's hope plasma mobile will be successful instead of ubuntu mobile

>>55702773
>Readyboost
Might as well download more RAM

Bottom right is not a menu retard

>>55704448
And upper right?

>>55704478
Widget/Desktop menu. Which can be removed

>>55704488
Only with an add-on that makes it transparent.

>>55704488
So, two different things uses the same goddamn button, one is a menu and the other a slider. What kind of fucking design consistency is that? Bravo KDE, a new low.

>>55704569
Use it first you insufferable moron, one of them is animated and CAN be removed

does it FINALLY, in the year of our lord 2016, support multi monitors without shitting itself?

no? still not? wow... really makes you think...

>>55704669
Used multi monitor since 2015 with zero issues

>>55704669
Has for a decade at least. Meme harder.

i dont understand, what's the difference between this and plasma?

is neon just plasma but bleeding edge?

>>55704689
>have 2 monitors
>add a panel to both

technically yes it works, but it's still highly experimental.

It appears you have no idea what you are talking about. Furthermore there is no better and more complete DE than KDE, suck it up

>Burgerclaps call it the "hamburger" menu

>>55705009
That's the name of that icon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_button

>>55704899
Yes, I have a fucking idea. You don't put two buttons with two different actions using the same icon. Specially if that icon is very recognizable and has a common function, like... idk... being a fucking menu.

>>55705041
>different actions
Both display options, which is a common function. One is located on top of desktop, shows desktop options. The other one is on top of panel, shows panel options. Did you turn of your brain before shitposting today?

>>55704521
No, it can be removed by flipping a switch in settings.

>>55704569
They're both menus, that other anon is just as stupid as you are.

>>55699951
What does it offer compared to Debian Testing + KDE Plasma 5?

I need r34 of mascot immediately.

The programming community and the furry fandom have significant overlap.

Konqui was probably designed by a furry.

Ya think?

The same artist also drew Krita's furry squirrel mascot and you can see for yourself how much of a furry this artist is from their DeviantArt account.

>>55701088
The current KDE also has 3 different launchers. If you don't like this big menu, you can easily replace it with a Windows XP-style menu or a Windows 8/Unity-style fullscreen gallery.

>>55705637
Debian has packages that are old as fuck. KDE Neon still has old/stable packages for the base system and other stuff like that, but the desktop environment itself is always at the latest released version, so we get bug fixes as soon as they make them official.

Kde neon is a Kubuntu with more update of KDE, and less app installed by default.
You have several edition :

USER: for users who don't want the new KDE updates exactly when it's released, but it's still updated more often than Kubuntu.
User edtion has currently KDE 4.7.2, Kubuntu has KDE 4.6

DEV STABLE : you get the updates as soon as possible, so you will always gets the new KDE features, but you can get bug so it's for user who want to test KDE before it goes to the user edition

DEV UNSTABLE : brave yourself if you install this, for dev and early tester only

>>55710041
>>55705637
KDE neon updates only KDE
, Debian testing update all the system

>>55699951
>>55710041

You can install KDE Neon on an Ubuntu-based sytem with :

>sudo apt-add-repository http://archive.neon.kde.org/user
>sudo apt update
>sudo apt install neon-desktop
>sudo apt full-upgrade


if u want the dev editons replace "user" in the first cmd by "stable" or "unstable"

>>55704717
Plasma is the name of the workspace
Neon is a distro running Plasma and other KDE applications

>>55710041
It's NOT Kubuntu, fucktard. They are separate things. Neon was created exactly because the nerd in command was kicked out of Kubuntu.

>>55710135
THE PAGE FUCKING STATES THAT YOU SHALL NOT DO THAT, MORON. USE THE ISO TO CREATE A LIVE USB AND INSTALL IT CLEAN

im gonna need to see the original, buddy

>>55710547
Kde neon is Ubuntu with Kde, Kubuntu is Ubuntu with Kde, the only difference is the peoples who maintain it, the KDE version, and the app installed by default.
So yeah it's not a Kubuntu, like Linux Mint is not an Ubuntu, but whatever, it's stil Ubuntu-based system.

And of course the page "fucking states you shall no do that, moron", but it's because they don't want to support noob pleb who cant manage their package manager in case of problem, i was guessing that /g/ was actually tech competant so sorry.

>>55710958
KDE neon is incompatible with Kubuntu, and will break your kubuntu installation if you try going from neon to kubuntu.

>>55710983
I did it many times, and its don't.
You just need to properly remove kubuntu-desktop.
It's still linux you do what u want, it's not a Windows upgrade

>>55700047
>kate
>not KDevelop 5 beta

tfw the best distrib is not even a serious we-gonna-replace-windows-and-mac-edition distrib and is just a distrib for testing and having the last KDE.

>>55711143
this

kate is a pain in the ass sometimes

>>55712081
I wish other DE developers used this method too.

Like, maybe I want to be on the very-latest Cinnamon DE, but Mint is such a poorly-managed shitshow that I don't want to put any of that on my machine. I would love to have plain simple Ubuntu LTS or Debian Stable with up-to-the-minute fresh updates for Cinnamon.

This. The KDE project is severely lacking in manpower, it needs a lot more contributors. Most of the KDE application suite needs updating to KDE framework 5 and Qt5, and it's going very slow, if happening at all.
That said, most of said suite works like a charm regardless.

>>55711143
The editor in kdevelop5 IS kate. Look it up.

Relax your tits. The page states you can, but they don't recommend or support it and that you have to fix your own system if it breaks.

>>55716180
Fuck off Gnome shill. If you are aware that it's not supported and may break everything, don't tell others to do it just for them to think that KDE sucks as much as your dumbed down DE.

How many days can it go on without crashing?
Can it at least do 3?

Your problem is that you likely installed it on an autistic distribution like Arch.

Download the KDE Neon ISO, wipe all of your drives and dirty ass and install it clean.

>>55719452
alright, I'll give it another try
and no, it wasn't on Arch, I can't remember what it was but it was supposed to be stable
