And here we have a long, thorough review of KDE neon, a distribution based on Kubuntu 16.04 and featuring the latest Plasma desktop environment build, tested on a laptop with UEFI, Secure Boot, 16 partitions, and a multi-boot setup with Windows 10 and Linux, covering live session, installation and post-install use, including look & feel, networking - Wireless, Samba sharing and printing, multimedia support - HD video and MP3, smartphone support - iPhone, Ubuntu Phone and Windows Phone, partitioning, package management & updates, applications, resource usage, performance, battery life, stability, hardware support, suspend & resume, customization, numerous bugs and glitches, various problems, and more. Have fun! http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/kde-neon.html Cheers, Mrk
Mrk, Neon is the testbed of KDE. Its rather spartan. I highly recommend if you really want to give Neon a good whirl, install Maui OS - its the successor to Netrunner and is based on Neon and is more of a beginner-oriented distro - has everything installed, except for games. I absolutely hate default KDE icons - they just don't look good and I grabbed the Moka icon theme package. Now the icons look spiffed up. Since its Ubuntu LTS-based, its going to take awhile before it settles in, bug fixes and all. We'll have to see what Plasma looks like in the future.
I really enjoyed Netrunner but I never heard of Maui OS thanks for mentioning it NormanF I'll give it a try.
