The one I usually install to normal users who do not know computers well is KDE Neon. But yeah with recent very positive experiences with openSUSE Tumbleweed, I am also thinking about using oST instead.
Same here. This is one change that they made that really does not make any sense to me. Also with smartphones being so used these days and they all have this single click mode of doing things, well it would also make more sense to me to keep single click for opening in KDE Plasma.
Smartphones are a really limited input device in a way that desktops are not. IMO it doesn't make a ton of sense to mobile-ize all desktop UX to the minimum smartphones are capable of.
Well, I can understand why KDE made it default since it's the behaviour everybody else expects now. But it's weird that it became standard in the first place.
Awesome. Been running Plasma 6 since Beta 2 and it is running very stable. Simply the best computer desktop environment there is out there. Even closed proprietary alternatives don't com close. Thank you to all KDE developers and all other contributors for making this possible
Running Plasma 6 since beta 2 and it is running very stable for such a hige change to Qt6 and in such an early time, Almost no problems now with RC2. So this is shaping up to be an awesome release, even better than Plasma 5.0 release. Kudos to KDE developers (and Qt developers also i guess).
Yup couldn't agree more. Qt is the most productive and one of the nicest GUI framework I have used during my programming career. Used it from C++ and also from Python (PyQt). And on top of it it is also the best I have used when it comes to very good native OS integration (looks, behaviour...) when you need cross-platform support. GTK+ yeah not nice, I am trying to forget it just as all those Java GUI frameworks. Terrible experience.
Is there a Qt app that looks great on Windows? Breeze is awesome when on KDE, but I don't remember a single Qt app that'd actively look good on Windows.
I would say there are several factors. Qt itself is a very powerful and feature-full framework already offering a lot as a base. So by reusing it and building on this base KDE developers can focus on additional things. And even on top of this KDE developers are very good at creating their own KDE Frameworks providing additional abstractions and common code that all KDE applications can reuse and also provide a lot of consistency/integration between them. Finally KDE is also one of the biggest FOSS projects (I think it is the second, right after Linux kernel) so by having so many people and using the best in class GUI framework is what makes it possible to create so many powerful apps.
Running it as a daily driver from a little earlier than RC1 came out and it is very nice for a pre-release code. No major issues. Very excited for the final release in a month or so. This is shaping up to be even more awesome than Plasma 5 release.
This is not about SteamOS at all. GOG installers (and other DRM free methods) do work well with Wine - and with old Windows computers, no doubt about it. The question is about saving the older computers than, SteamOS itself requires a 64-bit processor with at least 4GB of RAM.
Modern Linux requirements are higher than older Linux distributions too, so there is that.
