This week in KDE: power management galore
This was a big week for backend work, especially on the subject of power management and energy efficiency! Plasma 6 General info – Open issues: 81 New Features Welcome Center’s first pa…
Bro Plasma 6 is gonna push Linux adoption to the next realm lmao. At this point KDE team should ditch Neon, which is a testing distro that only adds noise, and develop on Opensuse TW.
Still wonder why there are no more distros using Plasma as their default DE.
IMO “default” has to be simple and user friendly. I’m not saying kde is not user friendly but it has overwhelming amount of options which I personally think is too much. of course there are people that use these but i think something like gnome is very simple and more approachable. I think this is why many distros use gnome as default. I would consider myself to be a mid level user i started with mint linux -> ubuntu -> debian -> manjaro -> garuda -> arch -> fedora -> and finally settled on nixos. I have tried lot of desktop environments and i liked kde very much but the amount of customisation made it a chore after a while. i can use the defaults perfectly fine but if something has a toggle to choose different options i try all of them. Which i agree is a not applicable for everyone. But i think sometimes taking option away from user works example ios and macos. So, i settled on gnome. I understand it is a personal choice. I’m just trying to explain why it might not be a good default from my perspective.
