I’m curious how the community feels about KDE neon.

    Off topic, but what’s with the overprotective DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION statement on the article image? It’s a screenshot of KDE, not the author’s own work…

    Neon works great for me.

    • I prefer Debian derived distros (RH derivatives are fine as a technology, but I’ve been using Debian derivatives for so long that RedHat feels like coming home and finding someone has rearranged your cutlery drawer and all your plates - I don’t care if your system makes more sense, in sure I’d get used to it but right now I can’t find anything!)
    • I do most of my work in Docker or using tools I install from upstream
    • I don’t really play games so don’t care about marginal performance gains from newer drivers

    Pretty much I just want a laptop that just works when I need it to, while still having a nice, friendly, modern interface and Neon does that.

    Kde connect will finally have the function to connect via bluetooth, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.

    For those upgrading, you might run into some bugs but there’s a lot of documentation of them on their bugtracker now thankfully.

    In my experience, my main panel disappeared and I had to re add a bunch of the dbus services that disappeared too but I think they’ve been sorted with hotfixes since yesterday.

    I neither like, neither use KDE, so it is not easy to see all changes they made, but after initial quick look it looks same just like KDE looks, maybe less unpolished, but still same And there is floating taskbar. I never seem floating taskbar before, I am not sure why it floats, it even looks good, but why it does it lol?
