KDE Neon general

If you currently use or want to use Linux, there's only a sane option that is functional, safe, and isn't a time sink. Introducing: KDE Neon.

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

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

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

>Desktop has two hamburger menus
bravo

holy shit

lmaoing at the linus finger in he's photo album

What a nightmare

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, user!

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

was looking for a new distro. thanks

fucking bloat

>Not locking the panel

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

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

>Readyboost
Might as well download more RAM

Bottom right is not a menu retard

And upper right?

Widget/Desktop menu. Which can be removed

Only with an add-on that makes it transparent.

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.

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...

Used multi monitor since 2015 with zero issues

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?

>have 2 monitors
>add a panel to both
>reboot
>monitor on the right suddenly appears on the left
>both panels appear on the other one now
>redo everything, reboot
>left monitor doesn't turn on anymore
technically yes it works, but it's still highly experimental.

Why does Sup Forums talk so much shit about things they don't know about? Are you that insecure?

Is just plain bad design, animated or not. The fact that you're defending such amateur errors is disgusting

>Install Ubuntu on new PC
>Launch Unity
>Compositor likes to bug out, wallpaper occasionally crashes, the WM sometimes locks itself up while dragging windows

>Launch KDE
>It takes so long to log in that I could literally reboot my PC twice in the same time (not even kidding)

>Launch GNOME
>Looks pretty, but had to use google to figure out that to log out I had to click on my name. Sacrificing functionality and ease-of-use for prettiness general

>Launch Xfce
>It logs in right away and works out of the box

why do people keep recommending these shitty meme DEs?

Because people have real work to do instead of wanking off at chinese cartoon fast before mum finds out.

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

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

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.

>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?

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

They're both menus, that other user is just as stupid as you are.

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

I need r34 of mascot immediately.

...

so how does this differ from just installing KDE5 and Plasma?
Also TDE represent

Is this 2002

Does konqui have puss puss?

I fucking wish user
I fucking wish

...

TDE is a buggy piece of crap.

I wanna fuck the dragon

The programming community and the furry fandom have significant overlap.

Konqui was probably designed by a furry.

~The moar u kno~

The krita one was indeed designed by a furry.

>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.

...

I haven't been using Linux for a while - does NixOS still generally have good KDE packages?

This guy is based
>uses Trisqel and no non-free software I think
>tons of his artwork is under CC-SA
>uses krita
>supports free software in general and contributes artwork to them
>draws in animey style
>actually has contributed to the debugging of the linux kernel

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.

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

KDE neon updates only KDE
, Debian testing update all the system

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

>sudo apt-add-repository 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"

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

ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED, COCKSUCKER? KDE NEON UPDATES KDE EVERY WEEK BASICALLY, AND DEBIAN UPDATES "ALL THE SYSTEM" ONLY ONCE IN A FUCKNEVER, RETARD

ALSO KDE NEON UPDATES ALL THE REST TOO. IT'S UBUNTU COCKSWALLER

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

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

blame your drivers, I suppose. or blame the xrandr authors, or dbus, or...
linux is full of odd bugs like that

I want to NTR the mascot and have sexual intercourse with his cute girlfriend!

im gonna need to see the original, buddy

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 Sup Forums was actually tech competant so sorry.

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

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

>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.

this

kate is a pain in the ass sometimes

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.

>KDevelop 5 beta
not qtcreator masterrace

ayyy

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.

The editor in kdevelop5 IS kate. Look it up.

I want to rape that dragon so bad

why you guys always ruins stuffs we like ??

back in my days, konqui was more goofy

That last one looks like its meant to be erotic

>a full IDE is better than a text editor

I don't get your comparison

Waiting for this issue to be fixed before I can use KDE
bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353975
I do like it tho, too bad multi monitors are buggy as fuck on it

stop lewding the lizard

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

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?

>install fresh KDE
>literally crashed in the first 5 minutes without me even doing anything

where can i find porn of the dragon? e621 gave me nothing

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.

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

Paheal's r34?
