Overwhelmingly positive.

99% positive. Wayland works flawlessly. HDR didn’t cause issues (all AMD hardware).

The only issues I have off the top of my head are

1: Some icons in the system tray and system settings menu (the ‘Clipboard’ icon on the dock and the ‘Touchscreen’ tab in settings, and a couple others) display as a blank rectangle sometimes. Other times, they display as they should. Haven’t even bothered looking for a solution as it doesn’t effect usability in the slightest.

2: Certain pop up menus for dock applets, ie the Bluetooth applet, display incorrectly. I actually saw a post of another user having this issue, where the window only shows as a small square, and can require a re-log to actually make it work.

Other than these minor glitches, nothing has given me any issues.

To 2.: I only had that issue appear when launching Firefox or Vivaldi. Might have been a custom widget. Wiped my install and now the issue is gone? Sadly wasn’t able to diagnose the issue any further

It’s like al KDE projects IMHO. Good on the surface and works well. But use it for any length of time and you will find problems, unfinished areas, or parts where it was implemented without considering why it was like this in the first place.

For example, plug your 1080p laptop into a display with 4K and watch are your desktop icon gets sorted by a-z randomly instead of keeping the order you had it.

Or try to add a calendar even to your system by clicking the calendar which is found in the date and time on the taskbar.

Online accounts added to the system do not integrate into other KDE apps requiring additional signin.

I feel this is probably caused from KDE’s team being small, but having a large suite of apps.

Sounds like you have a pretty okay experience but some specific things don’t work - please take some time to report bugs if you haven’t yet!

I’ve moved away from KDE for a while now. Been using Cinnamon since.

And most of my “bugs” are more missing features than anything.

Poor integration with Google was a major reason to go back to Gnome.

What’s the value of to do app, calendar, events if I can’t have it synchronized across devices.

I recently switched from being a long time GNOME user over to KDE Neon. It has been a nearly flawless experience.

My biggest complaint so far is the lack of NFS support in Dolphin, which I use for my NAS. GNOME Files had native support for NFS. Now I have to manually mount from CLI and then it’ll show up in Dolphin (eventually I’ll setup fstab, but haven’t done it yet).

Have you considered smb? Dolphin natively supports it.

I have both but prefer NFS over it for speed. SMB before multichannel used to choke pretty hard on Linux. It’s better now, but NFS is still the better protocol.

How is experience with mounted samba drives?

I found that apps don’t see them easily, which is a usability problem.

Argh I found out the same thing about NFS! I was so confused!

You can still put it in FStab though, if you want it accessible on boot. :)

Yeah I’m going to do that when I use my machine next. Was just nice having it as a favorite shortcut on the side and only mounting it when I needed it.

Linux

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.
