KDE Plasma is an amazing desktop and I cannot wait until KDE6 has been released.

[@TheLinuxEXP]

Yeah me too!

[@piotrpajor997]

I'm old enough to remember introducing KDE 4 and 5. In both cases the previous branch has been abandoned already, and the new one was lacking good half of its funcionality, and they needed like a year and half to reconstruct it. So... We will see.

[@mhammadalloush5104]

​@@piotrpajor997It seems like KDE Plasma 6 is merely porting plasma 5 to Qt 6 while also changing a few defaults around

[@cameronbosch1213]

​@@mhammadalloush5104And adding basic support for new things such as HDR to be expanded on later.

I heard from posts by the developers that they do not want to repeat those mistakes. I think plasma 6 is about stability first@@piotrpajor997

And then people say Windows is productive when it locks you down to one enviroment, specific shortcuts and settings that Microsoft allows you to have.

[@jan-lukas]

As long as KDE still has annoying bugs found in all corners of the desktop, sadly no. It's definitely getting better, but sadly not at where the basic windows is. Though windows obviously has other problems (like Microsoft trying to force their accounts on you EVERYWHERE) which is why I do use Linux (KDE)

[@samuelitooooo]

There is only one thing Microsoft has - one thing - that I'd like to see in Linux. Well, besides Microsoft Office and their flight simulator, maybe. That is the file manager being able to group items, separately from being able to sort items. I loved having each folder where item types are grouped together, and each item within each group was sorted by recently modified. Only Dolphin has a "view in group" function but all it is is a toggle that groups what you have sorted, so you can't group things in another way if you want. So close! But hey, at least you can have split views and tabs in many file managers on Linux. 😂

KDE Connect is amazing. I use it to turn my SteamDeck into a media PC when it's just sitting on it's dock connected to my TV.

[@TheLinuxEXP]

It’s so good!

​@@brianflynnloldo you get the issue with other devices on your network? Because it could be a poor connection

[@brunometronome1189]

Well, one other nice native trick in KDE is the possibility to create Mouse Gestures. For example on my setup : - press middle click / move mouse to the left / release middle click = open Dolphin In the same way I open Konsole and Kate with others configured mouse gestures. - It also opens up possibilities with a touch of imagination. You could use this feature to mimic Vivaldi mouse gestures in Firefox (opening bookmarks tab with one specific gesture, ...) - You can configure this in : Settings > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts

[@alanraftel5033]

Unfortunately they will remove it in Plasma 6, it's a deal breaker for me.

You should also make a video about Hyprland tips and tricks!

[@yonifirroloni5642]

Yes Hyprland

[@mathisbuilder]

All hail Hyprland

[@SuperQuwertz]

We shall follow Hyprland

[@SuperQuwertz]

Thats simple. Hyprland, much like the renowned GNU/Linux operating system, stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts that underpin the open-source world. Hyprland, with its dynamic tiling Wayland compositor built upon the robust wlroots framework, beckons us to recognize the collective labor that has crafted this computing masterpiece. Hyprland comprises the core of a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor, much as the Linux kernel serves as the heart of GNU/Linux. But let us not overlook the substantial influence of the wlroots foundation and the majestic allure of the eyecandy it provides. It is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor with a pronounced penchant for aesthetics, offering gradient borders, beguiling blur effects, mesmerizing animations, and enchanting shadows, all of which evoke the spirit of 'GNU' - a movement to provide users the freedom they deserve. It doesn't merely stop at visual flair. Hyprland mirrors the ethos of the GNU Project with a profusion of customization options, beckoning us to exert our creative power and mold our digital domains. The custom bezier curves, akin to the GNU philosophy, allow for precise control over animations, granting users the freedom to dictate their visual experience. Hyprland stands as a monument to the open-source spirit with its robust plugin support, reminiscent of the GNU toolkit's versatility. The inclusion of tearing support, in the tradition of open collaboration, enhances gaming performance. The codebase's elegance and readability harken back to the founding principles of GNU, which championed code that is both practical and accessible. Much like GNU/Linux's fearless embrace of new features, Hyprland dares to tread the path of bleeding-edge development, ensuring that its users are at the forefront of compositor technology. Configuration changes are applied instantaneously, paying homage to the GNU philosophy of user control. Hyprland isn't merely a compositor; it's a dynamic workspace of boundless potential. Fully dynamic workspaces, reminiscent of GNU's quest for a dynamic computing environment, grant users the tools to create and adapt their digital realms. The built-in layouts and additional plugin options allow for a personal touch in the grand tradition of GNU's flexibility. As Hyprland closely follows the footsteps of wlroots-git, it pays homage to the legacy of those who have shaped Wayland's future. Global keybinds empower users to guide their applications, echoing the principles of user freedom that underpin the GNU movement. Be it the structured elegance of tiling, the flexibility of pseudotiling, the expansiveness of floating, or the immersive allure of fullscreen windows, Hyprland, like GNU/Linux, is a manifestation of user choice. Special workspaces, known as scratchpads, elevate organization to an art form, while the concept of window groups in tabbed mode adds a layer of elegance to window management. The rules governing windows, monitors, and layers are a testament to Hyprland's commitment to organization, akin to the GNU philosophy's commitment to structured software development. IPC communication occurs via sockets, fostering seamless interprocess communication in a manner that mirrors the open-source spirit. Hyprland doesn't merely stop at aesthetics and functionality but extends its reach to embrace native Input Method Editor (IME) and Input Panels, transcending language and input barriers. These are but a few gems in the vast treasure trove of features that Hyprland offers. In essence, much like GNU/Linux, Hyprland is a paean to the ideals of collaborative open-source development, where a myriad of components converge to create a rich and empowering computing experience. It invites users to transcend the ordinary and immerse themselves in a world of computing excellence, echoing the ideals of the GNU movement. @got-any-updog

I've been using KDE for well over 15 years and it's been getting better and better with every release. As for KDE Connect, one of my favourite apps ever: it's also available for Windows and, apparently, it works more or less the same as in KDE (I don't know personally as I don't use Windows).

[@wombatdk]

The Windows version is a bit behind on features. And I believe the KDE Connect SMS module only exists on Linux, but I may be wrong.

[@Progress2000]

[@guss77]

Great video, and I would love to see more Plasma tips and tricks. You should spotlight Spectacle, with it's multiple global shortcuts and on-screen annotations. For people that like tiling, I recommend setting the global shortcuts for the "quick tile" actions - I've set mine to Meta+W/A/S/D (for up/left/bottom/right) to half-tile with a quick keypress, and you can then also quarter-tile by pressing to of those one after the other, so, e.g, Meta+W then immediately Meta+D to quarter-tile top right.

[@wombatdk]

Seconded on Spectacle. It can do SO much. I was tempted to add that to my list, but I felt it's a bit niche... not sure how many people do screenshots all that often.

[@guss77]

@@wombatdk I take screenshots all the time - I work remotely most of the time and when working with people, instead of calling them to my desk to see something, I press PrtScr, crop the section I want, maybe add a few drawings, then press the copy button (or CTRL+C) and paste into Slack, WhatsApp, Matrix, whatever.

Good stuff here. I tend to lean quite a bit to KDE on my Linux boxes, but many UI's feel limited. That's where KDE shines. It never has ceased to surprise me how much features I haven't even realized it has. That's slightly its downfall too, it's quite hard to truly try to get into and sometimes it feels bit buggy. What do Nick have under KDE BTW?

I haven't fully switched because I have a prebuilt with terrible linux compatibility. Thanks for the video though, learned some new things.

The ability for KDE to reconfigure window rules on the fly is a _huge_ thing for me. I mostly use it as workarounds for apps that break in Wayland (which isn't often anymore) But it's incredibly useful for tweaking window behavior for specific apps

[@MateuLeGrillepain]

I falled in love again with KDE ♥ I was testing with GNOME and Cosmic in VMs to try to work on them for a while meanwhile waiting for Plasma 6, but up to what i found lacking in my usual workflow and specially after this video where I discovered new features that I was ignoring after years having KDE as my main DE, I see clearly that Plasma is what suits the best to my usual workflow, even if I provably would have no major issues adapting to other DEs, but the grade of personalization with kwin, the plasmoids that you can put either in the desktop or in the bar, the capabilities of dolphin, konsole (and his dorpdown alternative called yakuake)... I felt so limited trying plain GNOME willing to not depend of third party extensions that could break on the next major release... Also, with KDE, I use KDE Neon because for me gives the best combination of an LTS kernel (frankly I don care too much about the latest kernel features) and the most up to date DE experience. If I see about some new shenanigan coming to plasma, in a few weeks I have it 😋

I also felt my PC would freeze if I filled up the RAM too quickly, so I edited /etc/sysctl.conf to add vm.min_free_kbytes=240000 and that helped, I have to really try hard to get it to freeze now.

Is there anyway to replicate GNOME's dynamic workspace and gestures in Plasma? I'm too used to having a single monitor and multiple workspace but KDE has workspace and virtual desktops(?) by default, it's confusing. Endeavour installer with KDE is broken, I'm not using Fedora now since the package update with all flatpaks & system with third party repos all made it basically unusable. Xwayland apps not having an icon is going to be painful for someone like me who has lots of electron and flutter apps.

I gave KDE a try, but unfortunately I’m under the impression that KDE doesn’t hold true to their slogan „simple by default, powerful when needed“. KDE settings are an app to beat in terms of complexity. There is so much stuff jumping right into my face, it is completely overwhelming. Not necessarily because of the amount of settings but because of the lack of structure. Beyond that, KDE is very powerful but at times very inconsistent. The design is, well, subjective. But subjectively I like gnome/gtk a lot more. The KDE apps are powerful, but sometimes really seem abandoned. I wish the KDE team would focus more on delivering an amazing handful of high quality modern apps as opposed to an entire company worth of different sometimes unmaintained applications

What I see here it's just fast friendly effortless and comfy, productivity is not really the main feature or goal here, human comfort is and this feels great in terms of comfort. When I saw that dragging and dropping notes, dragging pics directly to folder Jesus why this is not a default on all systems? I mean Windows was always felt like limited in some matters but some things I see here are like why this is not a standard everywhere? Linux have it's downsides as well, like community drivers and installing them, or that weird thing that I can't install app from store if I have package manager open, but other than that I see no bigger issues with it, and with virtual desktops is way ahead.
