Off topic, but what's with the overprotective DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION statement on the article image? It's a screenshot of KDE, not the author's own work...
Sue me
I dub thee: Susan!
Kde connect will finally have the function to connect via bluetooth, I've been waiting for this for a long time.
omg really? I've been having to add my device by up bc for whatever reason my uni's wifi, kde connect, and my phone do not play well together
Neon works great for me.
- I prefer Debian derived distros (RH derivatives are fine as a technology, but I've been using Debian derivatives for so long that RedHat feels like coming home and finding someone has rearranged your cutlery drawer and all your plates - I don't care if your system makes more sense, in sure I'd get used to it but right now I can't find anything!)
- I do most of my work in Docker or using tools I install from upstream
- I don't really play games so don't care about marginal performance gains from newer drivers
Pretty much I just want a laptop that just works when I need it to, while still having a nice, friendly, modern interface and Neon does that.
Would you say that RH makes more sense than Debian? If so, in which ways? I"ve been using Debian for the last 10 years, so it feels like home to me too, but recently I've been curious about other distros.
Debian makes more sense to me because I've been using Debian and Ubuntu since people were getting excited about Debian Wheezy coming out soon.
What little I have used of RHEL and CentOS they seem to be pretty logically designed, just different. I hadn't come across any real WTFs trying to use them. RHEL makes Debian look bleeding edge and reckless with their updates by comparison
it's like linux mint but for kde
Yeah ut does anyone know when it will arrive in other distros' repos, e.g Fedora, Arch and NixOS?
Not sure about Fedora, but it's already in extra-testing in Arch and has already been merged into master in NixOS apparently, so it should be hitting the general channels pretty soon hopefully.
Edit: apparently the Fedora 40 beta has Plasma 6 but I didn't check that myself, I just saw someone mention it.
Seems you're right, as I saw The Linux Experiment was using the Fedora 40 Beta to test Plasma 6 for his review
For those upgrading, you might run into some bugs but there's a lot of documentation of them on their bugtracker now thankfully.
In my experience, my main panel disappeared and I had to re add a bunch of the dbus services that disappeared too but I think they've been sorted with hotfixes since yesterday.
Does Neon provide beta or stable packages of Kde 6 ?
The have 3 editions: User (stable, released packages), Testing (using stable version branches with updates, but not released/tested yet), Unstable (using development branches with new features, untested and not released yet)
Yes (to both).

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.
