KDE neon 5.22.5 - When you come undone

Round and round we go, over which bug do we trip, nobody knows. Here be a somewhat despondent review of KDE neon 5.22.5 User Edition, tested in a triple-boot configuration on a laptop with AMD Ryzen processor, Vega graphics and NMVe storage, covering live session, installation and post-install usage, including look and feel, super-fast setup, HD scaling, performance, responsiveness, resource usage, battery life, lots of problems and issues with visual configuration, networking, software management, some crashes, and more. Enjoy, kinda.

Now I understand why LTS versions are several releases back. Too many regressions and that sort of stuff. When you want something stable, it outweighs new features.

In an ideal world, there is no reason we can't have both. Alas, we don't live in one.

 

5.22.5 is on the brink of being passé. Expect 5.23 in a few days.

 

The Anniversary Edition now in beta. That's why Mrk didn't test 5.23 - for now.

 

My understanding is that beta testing and reporting bugs through the official bug filing mechanism helps squash bugs before the "stable" release and is much appreciated by software developers.
