  • I've recently had to use KDE from Ubuntu 18.04 (Plasma 5.12) and my daily driver is Arch Linux with the current 5.24 beta. Improvement in Plasma is really incredible. Kudos to everyone contributing to make it better. It's such a stable and powerful system.

    What's still lacking is unfortunately the application side: baloo indexer ist still a mess that hogs cpu and likes to corrupt itself every other day. Replaced it with mlocate. KDE Mail, Organizer, Akonadi are very powerful concepts and ideas and I hope some talented devs take on them and make them more stable and robust. The approach to use PostgreSQL/MySQL on the desktop has failed maybe there is a lighter way i.e. something like oxigraph (https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph) for implementing the Nepomuk/ Semantic Desktop ideas in a fast and stable way. For now I'm using evince and evolution for mail and reading PDFs.

    Still hugs and love to everyone involved in Plasma I can't imagine using anything else and lately I'm replacing GNOME with Plasma everywhere I'm allowed to.
