Plasma 6 Bugs

If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org/, check whether it has been reported.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?

Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I wiped my drive and installed Linux on my primary deskyop the day I saw the first leaked screenshots of windows 11.

Never regretted it. And never going back.

Can you define "operating system" in common, non-technical English, as to an end user?

[–] carlschwan@floss.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@SanchoPanza @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social Sure it's not a full operating system but Plasma and the KDE Frameworks and apps are a large portion of the user space, has a lot of hardware integration and is that the user interact with not with the kernel directly.

@carlschwan @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social

So if we pull out the kernel/Linux, we can run hardware and applications with Plasma/KDE?

@SanchoPanza @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social Also it's way easier to communicate to non Linux users that Plasma is an operating system than a desktop environnement has Windows and macOS have no concept of desktop environnement.

Or do you call macOS aqua?

Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe KDE neon or another GNU/Linux distribution?

Even though I don't prefer KDE Plasma as my desktop environment, I support this due to being #LibreSoftware and considering what it opposes.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Using Gnome 45. Absolute adore it's out of the box polish. But yeah, Linux > Mac >>>>>>> Windows

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I already use Plasma 5.27 on Debian GNU/Linux ​:bunhdhappy:​
Though I cannot wait for Plasma 6!
