This is why I like KDE neon: solid Ubuntu LTS base (still a bit newer than Debian usually) with the latest KDE apps on top.
There's not too many open source apps that aren't covered by KDE, with the exception of GIMP. Then I just install proprietary stuff as needed (Skype, InteliJ, etc).
- shrimp_emoji 7y agoYep. Bafflingly, you'd think an older version of the DE would be more stable and bug-free than newer versions, but this wasn't my anecdotal experience: on Kubuntu, I had to reset KDE all the time. And Baloo segfaulted all the time. Two years on Manjaro, and I've never either problem once. Have you had the same experience on Neon? You still have the problem of being stuck with an LTS package list (and dealing with PPAs) though. Also, out of scope of this convo, but this is about what is >a standard ... desktop for general users but what a modern desktop should look like for general users is a subjective or moving target. If it's something like Windows 10X[0] (sandbox containerize all the things), which I think it should be, then no Linux distro currently suffices at all. :D 0: https://www.howtogeek.com/442767/what-is-windows-10x-and-how-is-it-different/ https://www.howtogeek.com/442767/what-is-windows-10x-and-how...
