EDIT: I MADE A FOLLOW UP VIDEO ruclips.net/video/-3H6sGNsVbk/видео.html This video was entirely recorded and edited on KDE Neon with Plasma 6. Ran into a few issues with audio processing, cursor capture, and some flickering. I wanted the full experience. It will take some tinkering (or a few version updates) to get everything right. 😅
Could be an issue with the bad packaging specific to KDE Neon that's mostly fixed now or changing the scaling at the beginning without logging out. I haven't had these issues on Arch.
Audio on FreeBSD is actually miles ahead of Linux for a number of reasons… might be worth an experiment if you want to try it out. KDE works, but getting your desktop application stack sorted on FreeBSD takes a bit of work, lol
Same. When fedora 40 appears, I will probably do a clean install of KDE. I've made too much garbage to have no doubts whether the problem was KDE's fault or mine.
I did it too. Definitely way nicer now. Finally got a reasonably vanilla install that is still very customized. I hated how unstable it got with a bunch of 3rd party extensions, so having a bunch of good default settings really helped.
cant agree, have had so many issues regarding proper recognition of graphic drivers. Its just nothing more than Beta State, X11 was old, but way more stable at all!
@@CJ123in direct comparison to good old x11? i think it is to early to tinker with wayland at this phase! RAM Usage is absurd, to many glitches, mouse pointer issues, xkeyboard issues...and so on...
I had no plans to switch to Plasma 6 so soon, but after coming back from a walk just now Plasma was entirely broken. I hope this will be more stable now!
I'm glad Wayland is getting pushed on users like it is with KDE 6, hopefully it'll result in more bug reports and fixes, because I really want Wayland to be stable at the end of 2025 if there is a mass influx of Windows users when they're kind of forced to make a decision as support runs out.
A lot of people wanting to make the switch to Linux are likely NVidia GPU users (like myself). This complicates swapping a lot since I think Wayland support for NVidia cards is spotty in general despite how well it may seem to run for anything else (such as my multiple Linux laptops, which run Wayland seamlessly). Could just be a skill issue on my part with not knowing how to properly install the appropriate drivers, but I don't seem to be the only one having issues with NVidia and Wayland. X11 is still functional in the meantime, even if deprecated.

Fedora 40 KDE Plasma prerelease is what made me switch from Gnome back to Plasma. I will try Fedora workstation when it gets released too but I don't see myself switching back to it. Something about this release makes it a game changer. Can't pinpoint what it is though LOL
What do you use for having continuity of your workflow, documents, and basic needs when switching between OSes so often? Some kind of cloud or NAS? Any particular synchronization software?
Excellent question!! I would like to know the answer to this also as I’m in the process of being forced to do a clean install of Win11 Pro in newer laptop. But May just go with Debian 12.5 with KDE ( just dnld last night ). My older laptop Dell Inspiron 5570 also need a new OS as the NVMe slot screw base is fully defective ( Dell engineer’s horrible design, newer ones Much better ) & I have to Try to build that up for an NVMe to work. Might as well put a bigger one in and install a Linux Distro in ( had Debian in for like 2-3 weeks it seemed ( Win10 Hm before, but got bad BSOD that couldn’t fix, 1st one couldn’t in 17 yrs ).
ive been switching to this and that distro for the past few days trying kde 6 and also 5 since some of them failed to install. but im back to solus budgie. more comfortable, everything works and no stutter.
lets hope you have a good journey on KDE Neon! the beginning of Plasma 6 was rough, but should be stable again. im tempted to try it, however - im not sure if the explicit-sync patches are already in KDE Neon (or if theres a simple way to compile that for it) as i have a NVIDIA card and want to make sure that xwayland applications dont rubberband around...
Is there a way to have the themes switch to dark mode at night and back to light mode in the morning? The ambient light in my room makes it challenging to see anything during the day with the dark mode enabled.
Use command 'lookandfeeltool -a theme_name'. Set up keyboard shortcuts for the commands one for light and one for dark using add commands option from the keyboard shortcuts settings. That's how I do it :)
kde neon 6 broke my computer after update, plasma wouldn't start so I had to use aptitude in a tty to reinstall plasma and then flatpak firefox sound stopped working until I did something to fix it
Are we just ignoring the mouse cursor being displayed way off target with where he’s clicking? Also “Wayland is great!” then it fails to render OBS correctly….
It installed like a breeze on an old rig with an i7 4790K CPU and an ATI R480 GPU but it took three installations before I got the Nvidia non-free drivers to work on an old HP Spectre Laptop with a 940MX GPU but very happy with the results.
Been using it since the day it was released. Performance wise its been stable and good. BUT trackpad gestures wont work, I couldn't find any native finger print auth
Looks interesting, but after I switched to Debian 12 in August last year I installed KDE Plasma My almost on all the time computer started getting system freeze ups which forced me top power off every couple of days. I thought I had a hardware fault brewing or it was a problem with the Nouveau drivers as I'd not yet researched installing Nvidia on Debian with it's default quarantining of non-free. but when I finally reinstalled i3wm and got it set up much like I had on the previous distro the problem hasn't occurred since. I'm not sure I'm willing to chance returning to random UI lockups, maybe too much software complexity is a bad thing.
They say Wayland has matured enough to offer it as standard, but be ready for a rough ride if you've got a NVIDIA GPU. Had zero problems with X11 but now in Wayland I have to get accustomed to a UI that occasionally flickers, slows down or drops away completely. Doesn't sound 'mature' to me! The upshot of this does seems to be that devs are scrambling to fix these issues so what otherwise might've taken years could now be done in weeks.
They say KDE is the most customizable desktop, but still no full transparency option for the panel and you can't change the app indicator from top to bottom. You can with a theme or through svg I believe, but it's not an option. It was a total disaster on KDE neon the upgrade from 5 to 6. But that doesn't matter anymore because I went back to Xfce. 6.0.1 is already available BTW.
I just installed nixos and went with plasma 6 to get up and running, but the olan was to switch to sway, but . . . wow is plasma 6 nice. I might just stay.
which version of nobara are you using, I only see 39 on their official site which seems too old for plasma 6, is there a testing version or something that you're using?
@@fantasypvp 39 is the latest version, once you do your install you'll have to perform a manual update to get Plasma 6, in the next release it will probably be pre-installed, I say maybe 2-3 weeks for that. takes at most 30 minutes from downloading ISO to having Plasma 6 in your device.
@@fantasypvp I'm on 39 and did my weekly update on Sunday and was surprised I got updated to KDE6. It's not without issues. You need to make sure any themes you're using are compatible with Kdecorations or you'll have dependancy issues. There;s issues with some SDDM themes. Also SDDM has issues so at the moment they're recommending users enable autologin.

Last June, after running Kubuntu for 14 years, I switched to Debian 12. Unfortunately, Debian 12 will never make Plasma 6 available. I'm between a rock and a hard place. Debian 12 + BTRFS is so rock sold stable and quick that I am hesitant to switch to a distro that will make Plasma 6 available.
Still not useful if you cannot start a new user session from remote, or does it do this by now? Linux Desktop does not even offer WindowXP functionality in many aspects, which is an OS from 20 years ago for those who don't know! o) And yes, the missing features and general messiness in the Linux world is unfortunate.. o(
@@barrupa The system being locked, still means I need to have a running session to be able to connect from remote, correct? If I don't have a running/locked session yet (which is the regular case in professional/business environments like servers or shared desktops), I would need to get to that physical machine first (in the server room maybe? o), log in, lock the desktop, go back to where I want to work from remotely and then finally connect back to it? If this is still true, you probably see that it makes no sense this way. Linux is actually capable with a proper xrdp setup to not require a running session and still be able to connect from remote, but finding a distro which does this correctly out of the box is not possible it seems. People focus more on colorful icons in the Linux world it seems! o( Having sound within the xrdp session is another mountain to climb, almost impossible to achieve, requires compiling xrdp audio related modules on your own and a matching distro and even then, it probably does not work. I spent a lot of time, trying to make Linux do the things you need/expect nowadays. I hope that xrdp gets recognized, pre-configured correctly and requested more often to push its development and adoption. People still rely on outdated VNC too often, which does not cut it anymore. Other remote desktop solutions require 3rd party servers and accounts, already running sessions as well or have other drawbacks. RDP or xrdp is the most advanced solution from my point of view and it's quite an essential feature these days. You can even have a local session and another session running remotely for the same user if setup correctly. Desktop sharing (which is not necesssarily remote desktop) is possible in theory as well (on recent Windows at least). Somehow it's also possible on Linux, I saw a video recently. But uuffz, settings this all up is taking too much research and time. Thank you! o)

Why does no one use GPU Screen Recorder vs OBS Stuido? Sure the file sizes are bigger, but handbrake will cut it down A LOT. Plus, GPU Screen Recorder is easy to install (if it's available in the software center).

It absolutely is. My speculation is the dev deny it for legal reasons, like *well well, it's technically not a distro so we're not responsible bla bla..*
Upgrading to it from 5.27 on Arch Linux is rain of crashes and just not a good experience and ruined even the system tray let alone Wayland session is not working at all
For a second I thought the audio was AI generated😅. But then I saw the pin comment. I still feel like there are some bugs here and there so I will wait. My next distro will be fedora kinoite. great video btw!
@@purplelord8531 Arch for some reason is very slow when it comes to updating DEs, usually takes 2-3 weeks before a new version is available on stable branch.

Is Stupid This Wayland Buggage while we Should improve X11
Reinventing the wheel is just the theme in the Linux world.
X11 > Wayland
init.d > systemd
Regular package manager > Snap/Flatpak
alsa > pulseaudio > pipewire
GNOME > COSMIC DE
no matter what linux distro i install on my custom made pc. it have one issue with linux, audio popping sound. at first i thought it has something to do with the audio servers like pipwire but when i reported the bug to them they told me it's the problem with the linux kernel. and the issue still exist in the latest mainline kernel. i just comment here just to let any linux maintainer see it and try to fix it ( i hope ) . I have a Gigabyte A320M-S2H motherboard with AMD athlong 200GE apu. and got no dedicated graphics card or sound card installed. i am an audiophile , so this is important. i'm trying to switch to linux so that i can try making beats with DAWs like bitwig , reaper, qtractor etc. or else i just have to buy an audio interface
Do the pops happen at the start of sound activity? I had this issue on my laptop. I fixed it by disabling power saver for the sound device.
@@ruulrskybound6713 yes, it's exactly what it seems to be happening
Does remote assistance work?
KDE plasma 6 is the only os to offer true HDR support
What video editor are you using?
For this video it was Kdenlive, in general I use Davinci Resolve.
Is NEON a Distro or NOT? I have to say my experience with neon is by far the best than other kde distros. Saying it is not a distro is wired and sad.
It absolutely is. My speculation is the dev deny it for legal reasons, like *well well, it's technically not a distro so we're not responsible bla bla..*
if kde plasma gets an overview function like gnome then I would also switch
check the video time stamps 👏
it did!
Is it using pure Wayland by default and not XWayland
XWayland is a compatibility layer for running X11 apps in Wayland. Its not its own thing separate from Wayland, its part of it.
XWayland only works for apps that do not have native Wayland support.
can u share ur wallpaper in high quality.
it’s default wallpaper of KDE
Switching back to Windows, that's great!
Is that EDGE I see..
Upgrading to it from 5.27 on Arch Linux is rain of crashes and just not a good experience and ruined even the system tray let alone Wayland session is not working at all
Im glad you are using Edge because use what you want and dont give a fk what others think(especially considering this is focused on Linux community)
Fedora is just great! Everithing works for me and I'm very happy to say bye to windows
Ppl talking about compiz cube like grown people can't enjoy it should stop being so smug. It's fun.
For a second I thought the audio was AI generated😅. But then I saw the pin comment. I still feel like there are some bugs here and there so I will wait. My next distro will be fedora kinoite. great video btw!
Why does the audio sound Ai generated
Unfortunately I can't use Wayland because of Nvidia. Explicit sync is a bitch!
Ditch Nvidia!
TechHut redemption arc
👍Yes!
[Cries in Arch]
btw
I'm about to join the collective. I just want hyprland too badly!
?
what happened?
@@purplelord8531 Arch for some reason is very slow when it comes to updating DEs, usually takes 2-3 weeks before a new version is available on stable branch.
I think its available if you enable the testing repo.
Can confirm its available in testing repos, im using it now
its still nowhere near as consistent as gnome... and I just don't understand why, why its so easy for a talented team to figure out an amazing desktop environment but have no idea how to border a radius consistently!
Qt is pronounced like "cute", not as separate letters like "Q-T"
Amazing video
Ms Edge..?!?! Another one; why not mention the weird mouse offset :shrug: It looks all buggy to me. And I 'm not a fan of the breeze icons.
I will stick with Sway for now.
Your voice sounded like AI generated 😂
Lotta glitching in the video.
it adds spice (lol)
Plasma 6 is nice, but not ready for me. Plus Gnome is just too reliable to fully give up.
This is irrelevant but you're the first person on the Internet I've heard say "Ubuntu" the correct way.
I'm South African...its a South African word so I approve lol
Did you use AI modulating for the voice? I hate it whatever it is
we are so back
its over
Praised be THE CUBE !!!! Praised be Burn my Windows !!!! ^^
actual edge user?
no way hello edge bro
