>Plasma 5.12 LTS is the second long-term support release from the Plasma 5 team. We have been working hard, focusing on speed and stability for this release. Boot time to desktop has been improved by reviewing the code for anything which blocks execution. The team has been triaging and fixing bugs in every aspect of the codebase, tidying up artwork, removing corner cases, and ensuring cross-desktop integration. For the first time, we offer our Wayland integration on long-term support, so you can be sure we will continue to provide bug fixes and improvements to the Wayland experience.

>no konqi in op
Dead thread.

nice, it finally has night shift

How easily can newer stuff like the blur that's coming with 5.13 be ported to 5.12?

>There is also an important change of policy: 5.12 is the last release which sees feature development in KWin on X11. With 5.13 onwards, only new features relevant to Wayland are going to be added.
Nice

He has a little Katie in the menu

Bloat is bad.

Go back to your minimalism thread.

Yes master

>the blur
cuck

Nice argument fagtron, you sure showed me with those hot opinions

ok but what if i don't want a windows 10 clone? come back when your DE isn't ugly flatshit

Wayland OwO

It's getting better and better and it's already the best Linux DE

uWu

Does it still remember all my open windows after reboot? I HATED this.

yay u are a cool person!

it has a setting for that just like a browser, are you dumb

i was interested in wayland but not anymore, thanks, i'll stick to software that isn't infested with pedophiles

Wayland support better be on par with Gnome this release. I’m sick of the graphical bugs

You spelled GNOME wrong.

I had it turned off but it still did that.

it already does this on 5.8 for me

Are you on Nvidia? If so, there's your problem.
meanie!

>focusing on....stability for this release

>macOS wannabe with equally retarded devs
no thank you

>using KDE with its hundreds of dependencies

Shits bloated as a l4d boomer.
I don't even use gnome (WMs>DEs) but
It's hysterical that you guys actually have a dedicated "gnomegate" hate thread with that as the main reasoning.

spoken like a good shabos goy.

Radeon here.
Installed plasma-workspace-wayland, logged in, shit's broken, went back to X.

>suprised they are focusing on speed and stability in a LTS release
retard

Plasma 5 was a thing before Windows 10. Kys.

it could be relatively easily done
the devs just won't do it
trust me, I asked
they said distros can do it themselves if they want to

is OwO the new Uguu of 2007?
how do you even pronounce OwO?

>KDE 4 comes out
>Win7 copies it
>"KDE is just a Windows clone"
>KDE 5 comes out
>Win10 copies it
>"KDE is just a Windows clone"
I know why Win8 UI was so shit, they didn't have a new KDE to copy yet.

Its a faec!
Idk how u pronounce it but I think it would be oh-woah

öwö

vocaroo it please

What non-flat theme I can choose for KDE?

Proof?

look up the release dates you mongoloid

after updating to 5.12, I can't right-click on widgets, panels and desktop
wtf
right click works in firefox, and widgets that have their own right-click menus (like task manager widget) still work, but generic right click to access widget settings, desktop settings or panel settings is dead
wtf

>modularity is a bad thing

Oxygen and some of the themes that come with kvantum.

> Oxygen and some of the themes that come with kvantum.
Can I have some Win9x theme?

that's built into plasma

>DE requires systemd

And it looks bad and completely broken with gtk.

isn't it how win98 looked? whats bad about it?

a lot of visual glitches in doilphin scrollbars, etc. and no proper window decoration

>no proper window decoration
how about something like this?

so what distro should i install to test out this awesome new release

That's a Qt theme.

>lts
>kde
LMAO ITS FULL OF BUGS

>KWrite
NANI?
Where is KATE?

>Vista comes out
>KDE4 copies it
>"KDE is just a Windows clone"
>Win8 comes out
>KDE5 copies it
>"KDE is just a Windows clone

uuwoah
it's also more of a face that looks like a wide eyed :3

>it's also more of a face
ok I get that the 'O' are the eyes but what is the 'w' ?

>not being a child molester is somehow jewish
lmfao bruh

>"i shat my turd before he shat his! mine's better!"

uWu is deprecated. it is recommended that you migrate back to OwO which is better-maintained.

ö like the letter 'O', ö as in coordinate.
>oh-w-oh
w is wobbly mouth from extreme embarrasment
your chronolgy is wrong. kde4 came out after windows7

>w is wobbly mouth from extreme embarrasment
why is the mouth between the eyes?
then it should be
O O
w

instead

>still no egl-wayland support

Into the trash it goes

it's a furry emoticon, 'w' is the animal mouth like as in ':3'

This!
u understand me! ^_^

but wayland is shit and glitchy on my x220

>using trashpad

Found your problem

must be fun being retarded

u mad trashpad owner

>intel
found ur broblem

autism detected

>gayland
found your true problem

whoa, even more autism...

>I haven't used KDE since 4, things can't have changed!

Why are gnomelets so fucking stupid?

>not using broken toy software is autism
yikes, i'll stick with software that actually works

>don't talk to me or my trashpad never again

guys, you're going deep into this ... :0

Sorry user

be sorry for yourself first :/

UwU

i wish KDE would allow you to switch placement of cancel/ok buttons

use X then?

this thread is making me want to switch to a different DE

I'm using it at the moment, nothing is really bad about it, I would just want to try Wayland.
Will they ever abandon X support?

everything is fine, just don't distro hop.

>your chronolgy is wrong. kde4 came out after windows7
It didn't, i was using it late 08, Win7 was 09.

whats wrong with KDE

yikes

wtf I hate kde now!

ok im sorry bruh but the reason i don't wanna use it no more is cause i come in here and everyone who uses it is just so painfully white you know what i mean

holy fucking shit that is ugly. are their designers blind?

>painfully white

?

just like all this weird cartoon shit and talkin like babies n shit bruh
like damn nigga

The best way to use KDE is to install the minimal package on Arch and build it up from there

looks like I'm staying with 5.8

there have been many attempts at bringing a better design to plasma
the only thing that holds it back is the team called visual design group that decides if something looks-wise should be implemented or not
you should blame them instead for their shitty decisions and stubbornness to change

KDE is nice
but Gnome is better

Gnoome is the reason nobody can take linux seriously.

why?

i'm a gnome guy too, i love the thrill of seeing what feature they'll delete next!

Think on all those newcomers from Windows installing soon the upcoming ubuntu 18.04 and saying "What is this shit".

let me try it
>text in the UI? why do you need it? everything is icons only now!
>why do you want to manage files? only your home directory is accessible to you! aren't we secure? also you won't be seeing hidden files. ever.
>only GNOME browser allowed for security and usability reasons. No more chrome or firefox. YAY!
>no more hacking. we removed the terminal! new users won't have to be afraid to harm their system anymore.
>root account? noone needs it anyways. completely removed! SECURITY!

downright BRAVE
