I've been using Kubuntu on my main laptop for a few years now, and I really enjoy having an environment that just works, doesn't get in my way, and I don't have to think about. That's just the way it should be.

This is my experience, until I go to use my docking station on my desk. I cannot get it to reliably dock nicely and move to my dual monitor setup like I can in windows. Everything else is great, but that needs some serious work if I'm going to move over full time.

Hey, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time to someone using Kubuntu- Does it also shove snaps down your face like mainline Ubuntu?

odin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Nope. Which is good because I hate snaps. A media player that can't play nfs-mounted media or a browser that can't read my remote KeePass file are just useless to me.

That's great, at least for now I guess.

Very very happy for all the fixes related to fractional scaling and mouse fixes related to sizes and themes.

Still not excited for KDE6. Idk, I'm on a rolling-release distro so I'm afraid I will get it before it's ready just to keep up.

KDE5 is really all I need, so if KDE6 introduces issues without solving problem then it will be a complete downgrade in my mind.

This comment reminds me of the early days of KDE4. Fun times.

Plasma 6 seems to be sorting out some of the things that has made me steer clear of Plasma 5. It's a good thing.

Plus, using a rolling release but not wanting software upgrades? That's.... unorthodox.
