    Green Wednesday: Here's a fairly chipper review of KDE neon 5.12, an Ubuntu-based distribution with the latest Plasma desktop environment build, tested on a laptop with UEFI, GPT, 16 partitions, and a multi-boot Windows and Linux setup, covering live session, installation and day-to-day use, including look & feel, fonts, customization, network support - Wireless, Bluetooth, Samba sharing, printing, multimedia support - MP3 and HD video, smartphone support - Android, iPhone (iOS) and Windows Phone, package management and updates, applications and extras, hardware support, webcam, suspend & resume, resource usage, performance, battery life, various problems, other observations, and more. Enjoy

    Thanks. Interesting beast, KDE Neon is.
    In a couple of months it'll be fun to compare Kubuntu 18.04 LTS, KDE Neon 18.04 based (it should follow soon) and Manjaro KDE. I'm sure there's a fair number of Kubuntu 14.04 (KDE 4) users waiting to decide on a replacement.
