arch and its derivatives because it doesn't delay package updates.

Gentoo.

whichever one is running on a debian base

so debian, ubuntu, or mint

>Unstable DE
>Yet want fast updates
It's like you enjoy your DE breaking or something

This. Or anything with a stable LTS release.

opensuse

Gentoo's default repo is stable.

Ive been using Manjaro and im going to go ahead and make the claim that its not this. When I get time im going to go with Tumbleweed and try it out for a while.

Linux mint KDE.

Installing broadcom-sta-dkms package breaks kde
Kde is shit desu senpai

every distro that ship KDE 5.11 right now

>using mint
>it will be 3+ months before 5.11 is available

feels bad man

OpenSUSE

How about Kubuntu?

It's just a more unstable, (KDE-wise) outdated and bloated version of KDE Neon.

manjaro kde is /comfy/

I don't know when you would want kubuntu over neon.
name recognition?

>arch is good because it doesn't delay package updates
I couldn't even install Antergos the last couple of days because some fucking package update fucked with my computer and made it hang (same for Arch).

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

>KDE distro
That's just the DE, idiot. If your distro is restricting you to one DE, you need to switch.

OpenSUSE / Gecko, followed by Kubuntu and Fedora. KDE Neon uses the most unstable builds.

I've been using KDE on Debian Testing for years now and had literally one problem for one day in all that time (krunner broke after an update, next day's update fixed it). I'm not sure if KDE's alleged instability is a meme or if it's Debian doing better job packaging and testing shit than other distros.

Debian is out of anyone elses league in this matter. Even testing is extremely stable.

How stable is KDE these days? I use cinnamon and it crashes once in a bluemoon but has a fallback. I like the whole KDE ecosystem but there's so many dependencies and I worry about how efficient it is.

kubuntu is shit though

I like how KDE took inspiration from Windows in making each menu look like it came from a different system.

definitely latest Fedora's spin

It came from KDE Neon and pre-plasma KDE.

KDE neon

>crashes 5+ times/month
Nothing personnel, kid.

Gentoo
Why do you say gentoo is unstable? It is only if you choose that

Antergos with kde
Or manjaro with kde
Just not kubuntu
Don't ever use kubuntu

Tumbleweed

Neon or arch.

>not kubuntu
explain

Speaking of arch and KDE, how's Chakra doing these days? It was a really great spin last time I ran it.

Kubuntu was never KDE and it was never good.

Manjaro. I tried Kubuntu flavored almost fucking anything out there and it's the one I had less trouble with.

And by the way fucking KDE Neon needs to step the fuck up.

sorry, KDE flavored*

I don't know why I said Kubuntu. Kubuntu is quite inferior.

Gentoo, Plasma 5.11 has Wayland support with consolekit, so you can stay poetterfree

Is that wayland support any good?

I tried that shit like 3 months ago and my god it was unusable. Completely unusable.

It certainly is unstable, not unusable though. The new version was released just a few days ago, so it's bound to be kinda wonky.

Comfy as fuck.

>can't use wayland and or kde cause of nvidia
tfw I just want to use linux

Wayland sure but KDE? I've used KDE with Nvidua forever

last time I tried using KDE would not allow me to shut down/restart/reboot due to some issue on the nvidia side of things

sounds like bullshit and/or you had no idea what was going on. KDE doesn't actually touch the drivers.

arch
plasma 5.11 is awesome

nah it really wasn't, it was a common issue for a lot of people and there was some KDE developer that stated it was an issue on Nvidia's side not theirs, I can't remember what the error was though

Netrunner or opensuse

>
>Wayland sure but KDE? I've used KDE with Nvidua forever
KDE works pretty well on the free drivers

>free drivers
good one, free drivers for nvidia are trash

KDE Neon is Ubuntu based too

I remember fedora switched to wayland for their DM and that broke lots of things. That'd be KDM not KDE though.

>Debian Testing
This.

>Debian is out of anyone elses league in this matter.
I've been forced to use current LTS versions of Ubuntu at work, and they're even less stable than sid.

They're fine, unless you are planning to play vidyas lmao

I'm using Stable from release to release. I've quite literally never had a problem.

But it's not crafted in the same way as kubuntu.

poorly?

I'm on Manjaro 17 KDE. Pretty damn comfy .

Fedora's KDE spin
spins.fedoraproject.org/en/kde/

Unix desktop environments are shit.

None. KDE is still outrageously buggy and cluttered. I’d take GNOME or Xfce every time.

I left KDE behind me when 4 came out. Before that, it was a robust DE for power users. 4 turned it into a buggy dumbed down hellhole. 10 years later I returned to find a delightful, smooth system that again favors those who want to get the most out of it.

Friendly reminder that people who don't like KDE are people who tried kubuntu.

Last version of 4 was really great. As a general rule you probly shouldn't jump into KDE til at least the .15 or something. The 5 jump makes that rough cause the sub-KDE frameworks and shit all have different versions. KDE5 might never get good.

...

>It's like you enjoy your DE breaking or something
It's like you don't understand how KDE works. The problem with KDE on other distros is the plasma packages get updated readily, but the qt packages get held back, and it creates a literal hell for Plasma because it expects the newer versions of qt.

don't know if kubuntu has ever been good but canonical stopped funding the project and the main dev made KDE Neon

Transparency without blur looks awful.

Was Kubuntu even an official kubuntu version? I mean I imagine canonical donated money to their project but I don't remember them being an actual ubuntu developed release.

Which icon theme and which tiling script are those?

its not mine
reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/6la8is/kde_im_back_this_time_with_a_tiling_script/

nvm, icon theme is on screenfetch

Opensuse leap if you want stable, manjaro if you want latest shit.

Opensuse tumbleweed breaks way too often in my experience.

they did supposedly just get a nvidia repo for tumbleweed which makes it almost viable for my use. I don't think they do anything particularly breaky other than fucking proprietary drivers.

The new 5.11 release did a ton of work on internals, hidpi scaling, etc. It's noticeably better than 5.10.
