1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Try kubuntu. It uses (the imo much nicer) KDE instead of gnome.

    [–] limelight79@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    I'm planning to switch away from Kubuntu after using it for at least a decade on my desktop and laptop machines. The whole snap thing gets annoying. Yes, I can override it, I know, but...effort. I'm planning to just go to Debian.

    Just get KDE from the horse's mouth then and use KDE Neon. Ubuntu packages, but snapd isn't even installed by default. It also ships with rolling release stable KDE, but isn't rolling release otherwise.

    I'm not clear on the benefit of that over just running Debian. And aren't there concerns about Canonical?

    [–] moomoomoo309@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

    It just means your KDE version is newer, it's also the distro made by the KDE devs. I'm not too worried about canonical, they're annoying, but it rarely affects me.

    [–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

    TIL KDE has their own official distro.

    however, KDE neon.

    do i have to elaborate?

    [–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    I didn't know neon was based on Ubuntu as well, neat.

    [–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works -1 points 8 months ago

    it's very poggers

    That's not using Ubuntu which is what the user wanted.

    [–] kense@lmmy.dk 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I have only ever tried Gnome (and a quick test of ElementaryOS and ZorinOS), but maybe it is time to try another DE.

    The best thing about this....

    You can do Ubuntu AND still install KDE

    [–] kense@lmmy.dk 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah exactly.

    Not too fond of snap, but am trying KDE Neon now, as I'm a "experienced rookie", but still have never tried any other DE than Gnome..

    Oh to be young and in love...

    [–] kense@lmmy.dk 2 points 8 months ago

    Having used KDE Neon for 10 minutes, I've had no issues with the trackpad..

    If this is Ubuntu or KDE, dunno, but liking it so far .
