i want official linux mint with plasma,...

Where do I get E linux distro? Nah never mind I got windows already.

Maybe it's just me but every version of KDE/Plasma I get my hands on after 3.5.10 always has some kind of UX/design or functional problems or inconsistencies forcing me to go back to LXDE/LXQt and the likes.

i wish linux would be a real alternative for gaming. to many games arent supported and also many additions for the games arent supported :/

Very nice review for Plasma 6.1. If I understand that correctly, we need NVIDA Driver 555.42.02 to make use of the explicit sync under Wayland? (555.42.02 is still in beta)

This guy putting the time stamp for the entire ad is so great we don’t need to waste ur time 😊🎉

Im pretty new to Linux. I been using it just a short few weeks and my issues been minimal to say the least. Everything works fine. 1 exception to this is gaming. I don’t game much anymore just here and there, I cant solve the disk write error on my secondary drive. Games in home folder work just fine. Im not gonna let it beat me however I will figure it out.

now we just need KDE Lite.

What distro do you use with Plasma 6?

immutable make me remember the deepfreeze for windows

Linux malware is less frequent than Win malware, but that makes it more dangerous, because a malware that surpasses Linux security can surpass web servers security, exposing far more machines at a time

best linux kde 6.1 linux right now is , 1) neon kde 2) Feodora kde 40 3) Kubuntu kde 6.x can only get kde plasma 6.1 on a update. right now.

I noticed the windows are only rounded for the top corners. Is that supposed to be right? I do agree about the edit mode critiques of the placement of the bars. Hopefully it will be changed in the future.

14:50 "... and it's also what I'm gonna recomment to every new user for linux" : I don't really agree with what you said. KDE is a wonderful dekstop but in my humble opinion it is intended for people who are already tech-savvy, or in a need of tinkering with a lot of options. As with my experience on KDE neon (user), the menus, configuration windows, are really plentiful of options and that's great, but these options (including advanced ones) mix up with the simple ones and makes the experience pretty daunting for newcomers. I'm gonna compare with Gnome which can feel a bit deprived of options in comparison, but the experience is IMHO more suited to less-experienced users. I think having some kind of system preference "Simple/Advanced" that hides advanced options in the first place would be a great improvement for non-advanced users. Another remark regarding the application tray and the naming used : the program names are used as primary source of information about the program : KWrite, Okular, Gwenview, Kate, ... these applications have names that follow the KDE tradition using K's in their names but are also totally obscure to what they do. Hopefully the small subtitle explains a little, but these quirks are mixed with other apps that have proper names : "Firefox Web Browser", "System Settings", "System Monitor", "Emoji Selector". Finally, I absolutely don't mean that KDE is a bad desktop. It's a wonderful solid experience for demanding users, but it also comes with its historical heritage, applications names, philosophy, and UX is not something that can change in a blink. It's going the right way towards less experienced users, as the menus are way more coherent, the UX feels way more polished. But it's still some road since I can call it a recommendation for new users. In the meantime I'd recommand more a Cinnamon, or Ubuntu Experience (or even GNOME with some out of the box extensions enabled)

Does it finally work, or do you still see random crash notifications every few seconds? Every time I watched a video titled "New Plasma is Better" and installed it, I was disappointed. It's like the Glock in the world of handguns-everyone online raves about how great it is, but in reality, it barely works.

Anyone have the same issue that RDP is not available in system settings? I saw a release video touting that as a big improvement, but I don't have it on my KDE Plasma 6?

What distro are you using Nick?

I dare not NOT use KDE. People might complain about the range of settings and features but it's essential for me. Because locals here where I now live in SE Asia cannot afford new hardware, at all, leave alone the hefty requirements for Windows 11, I have ended up installing Linux on ten year old laptops "So Budi can do his homework." What happens when there is a glitch, or KDE works in a way the user does not expect? I have shipped one laptop out hundreds of miles away on a distant island for my brother in law! With KDE I can send a whatsapp message and give the user the switch to flick in system settings. Job done. Any other distro and I seriously run the risk of the setting either being unable to be changed at all or require root access editing of some hidden raw text file in techno speak. A COMPLETE non-starter, especially I have been supplying Linux to mega basketball fans whose whole life outside of school is dedicated to 'Basket.' Also, in KDE you can turn of CPU consuming desktop effects which, on older hardware, massively improves performance. Other DEs, things like transparency are part of the experience. I am not joking about ten year old laptops here. I always switch all desktop effects off. Nobody ever notices. It works. Good enough.

Unless there's a 3D-Cube effect, KDE 6.x is rubbish ! Unless there's a FlipSwitch effect, KDE 6.x is rubbish !

Hey guys, do any of you know a linux app that can do what Windows' PowerToys' characters accents do ? I'm gonna delete Windows on my new laptop but I have to use â à ô õ and other accentuated vowels. It looks like the keyboard on that laptop is ANSI QWERTY and I can't change that.

The only thing that is missing in Microsoft 365 Online Accounts integration, like Gnome has since 46

two sponsors in a single video? damn.

No tiling therefore I can't take it seriously. Clearly not mature enough for real world usage. At least GNOME can get okay tiling via the Pop Shell extension, but there's not and never has been a decent kwin plugin. It's like they dont want people to use Plasma

I am looking forward to this release on Fedora.

Hello I hope I can ask a question about linux. I have been trying to use but go back to Window s. Every-time I try to use a email app in linux its upside down to me. It always has the new messages at the bottom and not the top, where it should be. Is this normal for linux? It drives me nuts. Thanks

what happened to CosmicOS? These kind of behavior tells me that the distro is not a serious contender

I'm just watching this video (at 1430 Aust EST) and am at about 7 minutes in. You could not find the RDP server in Settings. I did a search for rdp in settings and drew a blank. So I remember there's an App called Kdrc which is a remote desktop client. I opened Konsole and tried pkcon install krds (for the server) drew a blank, so I tried the next logical option in case 'protocol' was similar to 'server'. pkcon install krdp and a little bit if text scrolled past, including a reference to rdp and to 6.1, then it asked for the root password. That always means pkcon found somethign familiar. Moments later and I was back at the prompt. So I opened Settings again and searched: rdp And now it shows: Remore Desktop in the left pane. Clicking that takes us to the screen where you can toggle the remote desktop Protocol Server ON or Off. I hope that helps anyone else who might be lost (as TLE and I both seem to have been) - looking for somethign that is not installed by default. Now I just have to see if it will connect to NoMachine on my other systems . .

Why do I need to think about the "tri colores" when I see your sponsor?

Can I have different backgrounds on different workspaces, or am I still stuck with the same one on all workspaces?

With a better screen and sound i might but i would rather get a yoga 9i if they had one like that I'd be in for more money

Watching this and it looks like fedora 40 just got kde 6.1 now

I didn't know how far framework has gotten nice

Am I the only one who sees a Stormtrooper in that painting over Nick's shoulder.

Man, imagine a video is uploaded of Fedora running on this macbook pro. The distro already exists so a video should definitely be made

Still prefer Cinnamon over Plasma or Gnome.

I like the use of the evil corp logo

thanks Nic

I tried KDE on Wayland using an Nvidia graphics card and it had locked my desktop. this was like the day before yesterday. The solved GPUs are AMD!

Linux simply Rocks, I use RichARCH btw. With it I was able to get Arch Linux up and running simply and quickly with kickstart like automation features.

Still no window shading on wayland, that bug has been open for about 7 years and they've still not fixed it, I also filled a bug over a year ago where when entering full screen for the first time in apps like MPV the animation wouldn't work on X11, and nothing was ever done about it, it seems the KDE devs are more interested in adding new features than fixing bugs, and that's the biggest issue with plasma, they keep adding new features while ignoring bugs, so plasma will always be buggy, I have a much more stable experience with labwc with sfwbar, despite the fact that both of them have not even reached 1.0 status yet.

Does kio-fuse work yet?

5:24 I’m a big fan of universal rounded corners.

The sponsor, GroundNews is fantastic. It is really freeing seeing the spin various organizations apply to reporting. Reading news on GN has changed the game for me. Worth every penny. When I renew I’ll try and use your code. I’ve been a subscriber of GN for a while now.

It would be the best desktop if it wasn't full of bugs

I agree! Plasma has surpassed Gnome by a country mile. I'm excited to see where Cosmic DE goes and how it competes with Gnome. In the future I see Linux DEs competing with each other instead of Windows and MacOS, which will only speed up the exponential growth of Linux for daily users. My overall experience since 2020 has improved drastically.

8:50 Best feature! Every serious distro should have this useful feature!

Problems I'm facing on Linux? Dozens if not hundreds. But the most recurring are (in random order): 1. Instability. sudo dnf/yum/apt update/upgrade/dist-upgrade can brick your OS. not doing anything can brick your OS. doing simple things like changing a theme can brick your OS. fixing issues can brick your OS. 2. Forever troubleshooting. I often encounter problems on every Linux distro I touch. An app won't install, a source won't compile, a service won't start etc. My Linux experience is mostly googling for fixes/workarounds. Last week I made a new VM with Fedora 40 Server. It took me over a week to install ONE app, although the app has a set of commands to install on RHEL, Debian and other Linux branches. And I'm not a beginner. I deploy/manage Linux servers since 2011 and am a Linux desktop user since 2007. 3. Poor documentation. a) Lack of instructions - sometimes the manual says do thing_A, then thing_B and after that thing_C, but it doesn't tell you HOW to do those things. b) Lack of known issues and fixes/workarounds - very rarely you can find those in Linux app documentation. 4. Randomness. You could have two identical PCs and do the exact same sets of commands to set up a work environment and the result could be different on both machines. 5. No fix. Some issues are just opened github posts without any response from the devs and there's no solution on Reddit, StackOverflow, ServerFault, AskUbuntu etc. 6. Relying on randos from Internet. For many things to work on Linux you have to use guides made not by distro's or app's devs but by total randos who somehow managed to make things work. But when you apply their solution it may not work or you could brick your OS. Even if it's a confirmed solution. 7. Too much CLI. I know some people prefer CLI over GUI but for me it takes too much time on Linux to do some tasks when compared to Windows where you use your mouse to do 99% things. GUI has a lot of advantages (e.g. you won't make typos, you don't need to read help files for syntax or parameters, you don't need to remember commands) for end-users and also for admins. In my admin work I'm forced (i.e. I don't have a GUI alternative) to use CLI for 1% of my time on Windows and 99% of my time on Linux.

GNOME > KDE. My subjective opinion is subjective.
