Bonum Certa Men Certa

With KDE Plasma 5.22 Having Just Been Released It's Time to Give KDE a Try (or Move to GNU/Linux, Leveraging the Best Features of Any Operating System Out There)

Video download link



Summary: A quick recommendation of KDE based on a reasonably recent (but not latest) build; there's this myth about KDE being difficult and flaky, but for a number of decades it has been the most advanced desktop (on any operating system) and its developers managed to hide the complexity while offering users all the power they may want/need

THERE is a new version of KDE Plasma out in the wild. Over the past few days , as the media caught on (some examples of coverage, including videos of this release), more and more distributions of GNU/Linux built and integrated it into repositories and/or ISOs. KDE remains by far the most powerful desktop environment (I've used plenty over the years, even for very long periods of time) and this video shows some of the extensive sets of features that KDE comes with by default, even without further add-ons or applications.



"It's not daunting and complicated, at least not by default."If you're not a GNU/Linux user, KDE isn't a bad way to start. It's not daunting and complicated, at least not by default. It should not be scary anymore. It's also very stable (it's rock-solid in Debian 'Buster'/10). If you left KDE or rejected KDE in the past (around a decade ago), maybe it's time to revisit and reassess.
