- This is certainly one of the Plasma 5s of all time.
I tested Plasma 5.27 for 3 weeks on Debian 12 and 1 week on Fedora Kinite. Here is my experience.

Sorry for the delay between this video and my Debian video. I think you'll see what caused the delay when I release my next video.
KDE Plasma is pure eye candy to me
Mee too ❤
That's opposite to me. For me, gnome is eye candy.
@@bhargavjitbhuyan9394 Agreed
The one big advantage of the KDE Plasma desktop switcher and panel is that it shows what is on both monitors, while GNOME will still only show what is on the primary monitor, even if you specify that workspaces span displays.
What distro are you running? That's not how Gnome has ever worked for me. I think Ubuntu ships an option for the behavior you experienced.
im a KDE nerd, I daily drive Plasma, and i had never clicked the show alternatives mode on the start menu... MAAAN im glad I did, Im an oldschool cascading pop-ups kind of guy.
hey man long time no see just thought i stop by and watch your video and i must say im very impressed with this review for kde plasmas last release very farrow in explaning all the features and some of the settings as well hope to see more content from you soon great to see you back ^^
great video, fair critisism. you'd deserve more views
Solid review. First I've seen of your channel. Been a Linux daily driver user since 07. Got into Plasma in the past year and for my screwaround boxes that's all I'll run now. Dropped GNOME after the 3 switch. QT finally won me over though.
KDE Plasma is amazing!
Lightweight, fast, customizable and full of features.
Much better than Cinnamon and MATE!
Good cover, thank you.
I will always have a soft spot for plasma. It was the first DE I tried when I first got into linux 10+ years ago.
Plasma didn't exist 10+ years ago.
try once more. its awesome now
@danielhalachev4714 You're right, the name Plasma was actually used as early as KDE 4.
First I only used Xfce, but lately I only use KDE. KDE Neon to be exact. Fluent dark theme with Papirus dark icons. Mainly because of the theming which is much more consistent compared to Xfce. And I can pin everything I use on the taskbar without things being launchers like for instance the tarballs of Thunderbird and Firefox. So far Neon has been very stable. I had some problems at first, like not waking up after Suspend and a hard freeze. Had to do hard resets to get things going again, but with Plasma 5.27.6 everything has been running smooth.
Plasma Wayland was pretty bad for a long time, but the recent updates have improved things dramatically. You definitely picked the right time to give it a try again.
good video pizza loving nerd : )
I wonder if the visual bugs are related to NVidia GPU drivers? I run Plasma both on Neon and on Arch, using an AMD video card, and I don't recall seeing any visual bugs in the last few releases of Plasma.
OMG you've grown your hair out!
Glad to see you trying out more DEs. Next you should try Hyprland or Sway WMs.
Not on Nvidia 🤣
@@PizzaLovingNerd Hyprland should be fine. I heard it is the best Wayland compositor for Nvidia.
@@vehementham it’s not about the DE, it’s about apps not working on NVIDIA Wayland. For example Discord and Slack are both unusable on NVIDIA Wayland, both of which I need for work.
@@PizzaLovingNerd Yes, but I heard that Hyprland is the best Wayland compositor for Nvidia.
keep up the good work, what about a video about BOTTLES ?
I already wrote one for TechHut

@@PizzaLovingNerd BOTTLES??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
(inb4 nobody gets that reference)
I don't really get the part on apps. It seems GTK, Qt and Electron apps all run well on my Plasma laptop. I don't really care what framework an app uses. Yes, GNOME and KDE each have their own copy of file manager, terminal, editor, image viewer, etc. But besides these basic apps, I don't see why we need to duplicate every GTK app with a Qt version.
There is also KDE Neon distro based on Ubuntu.
My first eye candy experience with Linux was KDE but went Gnome for a very long time (like decades) due to stability and security. Kind of fell back in with KDE for a good bit but Gnome 44 is pretty awesome. Had Debian Wayland KDE login issues with my NVidia card too - had to strictly rock X11 sessions; also have run Kinoite and Fedora Silverblue with Wayland on my NVidia card without any issues. Gnome -> apps and modularization & optimization and it is showing.
If KDE gets some basic stuff sorted like three finger scrolling, it'll become hard to recommend to use Gnome but only for pros.
Mx kde is wonderful
i tried it on arch about 3 months ago on my laptop and i didnt like it that much because i am so used to the consicentcy of gnome and its apps and of course the gnome workflow
Looking like a true Linux user with the long hair. You just need some programmer socks now.
They are two paths the average Linux user will go down, the neck nerd beard fedora wearing staleman type or femboy
if you really like gnome with its appli like experience get chimeraos if you like games, its steamos with gnome
Interesting that Wayland and Plasma + Nvidia just work for you. For me it's the opposite: Gnome works 99% with Wayland but Plasma is just messed up. The cursor draws black paths in the screen, for example. Guess Nvidia + Wayland interaction is just random.
Yeah, I can't say plasma is terrible, but I just prefer Xfce due to it's high customizability and more efficient ram usage. But I gotta say the Xfce default theme looks horrible out of the box compared to plasma or gnome default layouts. As for gnome, I prefer a more traditional layout rather than one that looks kinda like a tablet layout. Also gnome takes more memory. My computer can handle the bloat, but I am a fan of efficiency.
have you checked kde ram usage recently?
@@shakilahmed4647 Indeed, KDE ram usage is getting better over time. But I have gotten used to Xfce. I don't need wobbly windows and all those effects. And there are some features missing. Such as having separate backgrounds for each workspace. Xfce needs to get to work on Wayland support though.
@danielhalachev4714 Well Done! I still prefer Xfce though. I use it the most, so I've become more familiar with it. They need to start supporting Wayland though.
@danielhalachev4714 Not sure, you might be right, but "scheduled support" is not support..just a plan of action.
I've never understood the whole gnome workflow thing, I don't really see how opening apps in their own workspace is really any different from just using one workspace and minimizing the apps you don't want on screen to the panel, you can also use kvantum themes in qt, and if you think kde is buggy, which it can be, then there's always lxqt, which is what I use, I use it with the kwin window manager, so its like running a minimal kde without the plasma desktop and panel, I've not had any crashes or glitches, its very functional without being unnecessarily complicated.
Debian being so buggy is no surprise to me. Debian (stable at least) doesn't update things to newer bugfix releases :/
I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than have to use Qt
wow. why?
"haircut" comes to mind............
Why?
want a real desktop? learn how to right click and enter edit mode lmao, you can pick different task launchers and taskbars add widgets and more, plasma is the absolute best desktop environment because it is so customizable, if you dont like it you did not set it up correctly lmao
