From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Praying they bring back different backgrounds for different desktops. 🤞🤞

On Neon in Wayland it moved the application launcher and notifications to the center of the screen. I saw an issue opened for it just now, so hopefully it will be fixed soon. But I'm expecting it will likely just be a thing until Plasma 6 because that is likely where 100% of their resources are right now.

Try to recreate the panel?

And yes, Plasma6 is usable now, it seems like everything is just working and I am close to rebasing. There is a Fedora Kinoite variant which is in my experience way better than Neon Unstable

Except for the fact that several major programs (dolphin) crash on a regular basis. It's definitely not ready for the average yet.

Did not happen to me when I updated on Arch. So might be a Neon quirk.

Not really looking forward to KDE6.

KDE5 is great and does everything I need it to. I feel like upgrading is just going to introduce issues while bringing nothing new to the table.

The only thing I would like to change are bigger scrollbars or have the ability to easily resize them. Something tells me this isn't going to be included in KDE6, though.

Don't upgrade then.

I for one am looking forward to it. They seem to be fixing a lot of issues that I currently have with Plasma that prevents me from using it.

I'm on Manjaro, so I think it'll be included shortly after it's released :(

Sounds like a good thing to me.
