I switched from Pop_OS! to KDE Neon because I wanted to try out the latest Plasma features. I was tired of GNOME’s bloat and needing an extension/Tweaks for basic functionality.

Then KDE broke screen sharing, bricked my install once by breaking LUKS disk encryption, and then it booted to a black screen on updating to the latest LTS…

So now I’m on Mint and all of my servers are on Debian because I want something that just works. Lol. No more distro hopping.

How did KDE break your LUKS…? I find that hard to imagine

Also KDE Neon is a test distro (they don’t call it that from what I remember) for those who want to try out newest KDE lol

No idea. It could no longer unlock the LUKS encryption after rebooting from an upgrade. I had to work and just nuked it and started fresh. It happened on both my laptop and desktop after updating, so seems like a bad update.

im a mint user too and every few months i start distrohopping but always land back in mint. all other distros always have something that doesn’t work or is just irritating. but mint feels like home.

If Mint ever supported KDE plasma 6.2 I’d consider switching back to Mint. I just can’t stand how Cinnamon doesn’t give a crap about multi display users and gives them a “There. Good enough. Fuck you.” solution.

i read that mint used to have a kde option too but they discontinued that to reduce workload. didn’t know multi monitor setups were a problem for cinnamon though. does it work at all or lacks controls or something? are xfce and mate equally bad?

Exactly why I won’t be on a distro if it doesn’t support kde.

I’ve been all over I’m on arch currently for the first time. It was nice using my PC and having to install the thing I wanted.

It was a good change.

I came from kde neon because I enjoy apt… but yay and pacman work currently so I’ll stick with it for a bit.

Why do you need a DE for your server?

KDE bricked my install on my main desktop after updating to the latest LTS too. No idea how that happens. I’m on opensuse leap now.

Yeah I tried Tumbleweed, but I really don’t like RPM-based distros. Mostly because I’ve been a Debian-based boi most of my life.

Sticking to Endavour OS I think, but I said the same thing about Archlinux and Mint and Neon and Debian so who knows!

Ah those days when I was all fired up and re-installed Linux at the drop of a CD-R.
