Jonathan Riddell tritt als Plasma Release-Manager zurück

I wanna try #LinuxMint on my daily driver - seems to be #Ubuntu without the annoying bits - but i also wanna try #KDE.
Is there a mint-like Ubuntu-based KDE #distro?
I don't think #Kubuntu is mint-like enough - #snap and stuff?
EDIT: i'm aware "stable & rock-solid" #Debian #Linux exists; i'd like to run somewhat recent code, though.
EDIT2: see also, the thread - lot's of useful replies, already! (thanks, y'alls!)
Hey, Mastodon, let's try community recommendations. What Linux laptops do you recommend in 2025?
High-end, e.g. both good performance and long battery life. Rather better materials than plastic.
No Slimbook though, wouldn't buy that again.
Thanks!

OMG, it works. Hibernate achievement unlocked! #ubuntu #kde #kubuntu #linux #FrameworkLaptop #Framework13
Been debating for weeks now whether I should swap out my current Kubuntu Linux for Linux Mint. I really like Kubuntu but the Plasma interface has been rather unreliable and problematic, occasionally freezing or acting erratic. Guess I'll start making a list of all the Apps I have installed and take it from there. #linux #kubuntu #FOSS #linuxmint
#Kubuntu hibernate doesn't work out of the box, so this is likely more to do with #KDE in general. That said, I did find a "solution", or rather an install option that makes hibernate work as advertised. #Manjaro does give an option for "swap with hibernate" during partitioning. Why was this not exposed in Kubutnu?
Again, my complaint is not that hibernate doesn't work because I didn't RTFM and do the leet hax in the terminal, but that under default options, the hibernate feature is present but does not work when initiated and worse still, does not communicate why nor provide a graphical means of resolving. Even Windows has a GUI for managing the swap file.
If you've had a machine running #Linux for a while and you decide to utilise hibernate at that crucial moment and it doesn't work unless you reinstall your OS or re-partition your drive and rebuild the intramfs / grub, likely requiring a reboot anyway -- why is the feature even presented as available!??
Welcome one and all to the big #Linux BS thread! I get that it's necessary to switch to Linux, I'm imploring you to do so, and I don't want to discourage anyone but I need to document the ways in which Linux is just not ready for 600 Million more users and I don't think it's any technical limitation so much as a lack of design self-awareness.
Case study 1: A basic 1GHz Intel netbook with 4GB RAM. I installed #Manjaro. Keys, touchpad, wifi and screen brightness work, very impressive. I also really like that Manjaro is not dumbed down and I was able to get plenty of information about the hardware.
But hibernate doesn't work. Clicking the button does nothing -- already a design flaw in that it can't even tell me *why* it isn't working. A quick Internet search lets me know that `systemctl hibernate` is the console command for invoking hibernate and should give me an error message. The swapfile size is not big enough, just 512MB for a machine with 4GB of RAM.
Can I resize the swapfile, using `dd` and a number of other `systemctl` commands? Yes! Should I have to? No! If I enable hibernation and it can't hibernate because the swapfile is too small then it should TELL ME and provide a GUI to fix it, and that's without considering that it should have set the swapfile size big enough during installation anyway!
But still, that's not enough. Despite having a hibernate feature, the installation didn't modify `initramfs` & GRUB to handle hibernation! Can I do this manually? Yes! Do / Should I have / want to? Absolutely not!
Now downloading #Kubuntu in hopes that its own features actually work out-of-the-box :|
yay I think sleep is working again on the ol' computer. It wasn't working since I slapped Kubuntu 24.10 on there. I think it was mostly an NVIDIA driver issue?
#Linux-Partition erstmal wieder platt gemacht. Keine der empfohlenen Distributionen hat gehalten, was sie versprochen hat. Zum Beispiel gab es Probleme mit Bluetoothgeräten, Steam oder der allgemeinen Stabilität des Systems.
Offenbar ist Windows für den Durchschnittsnutzer leider tatsächlich nicht so ohne weiteres ablösbar.
Kann es sein, dass #Kubuntu 24.10 ziemlich absturzfreudig ist? Hier stürzt Plasma gerne mal ab (egal ob Wayland oder X11), oft hilft dann nur noch ein Neustart.
Bis 24.04 hatte ich diese Probleme nie.
Ich will mal wieder mein Glück mit #Linux probieren. Früher hatte ich einen relativ alten Laptop und habe #MXLinux benutzt, aber inzwischen hätte ich lieber eine Distribution, die etwas mehr Up to Date ist (die aktuelle Version von MX Linux läuft mit Kernel 6.1, der offenbar meinen WiFi-Adapter nicht unterstützt). Mir ist #KDE grundsätzlich sympathisch, weshalb ich über #Kubuntu nachdenke. Aber viele nutzen ja auch #Mint. Was würdet ihr empfehlen? @kaffeeringe @sven @fedora
Ubuntu 24.10, Kubuntu 24.10 and other Linux flavours now officially released https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/10/ubuntu-24-10-kubuntu-24-10-and-other-linux-flavours-now-officially-released/
Liebe #Linux Nutzer und Kundige. Ich brauche Support. Ich habe #Kubuntu auf einem Laptop laufen. Und plötzlich von der einen auf die andere Sekunde ist der unglaublich langsam. Meine Liebste hat in LibreOffice eine pdf gespeichert, öffnet Thunderbird und seitdem ist nichts mehr wie vorher. Einloggen dauert ca. 15 Min. Laut htop ist die CPU kaum belastet, auch alle Partitionen haben max. 50 % belegten Speicher. Ich weiß nicht wo ich ansetzen soll. Ideen?
Bitte boosten.

Hallo #Linux Bubble .
Ich hätte gerne eine Empfehlung für eine #Distribution .
Aktuell nutze ich noch #Ubuntu mit #KDE , also #Kubuntu .
Allerdings möchte ich nicht mehr auf die nächste LTS Version upgraden und suche einen Ersatz.
Ich hatte an das letzte #Debian gedacht, bin mir aber unsicher, ob das so unkompliziert läuft. Bei KDE möchte ich unbedingt bleiben.
Ich bin eine pure Nutzerin. Installation, Hardware und Drucker werden erkannt = fertig.
Bei #Fedora bin ich mir noch unsicherer, da es ja wirklich halbjährlich upgegradet werden muss und ich das scheue. Außerdem brauche ich es nicht sooo aktuell.
Seems like I am not the only one having this issue. Also I have tried both flatpak and snap. Currently have snap version installed. I did noticed that with Beta version of snap I don't think this behavior happened with @thunderbird
Also I am on newly installed #Kubuntu 24.04.
