WHAT THE FUCK KDE
Breeze fuckin' when
Does virt-manager still have that problem running VMs off a NTFS drive?
>>45621210
Breeze will be the default in Plasma 5.2

End of January, hopefully it's possible SUSE and Fedora have it for their next release in May.
LOL Looks like Windows.
>if you can't beat, copy!
>>45621687
And Windows Vista and everything after looks like KDE4, you fucking idiot~
>>45621687
Windows copied KDE actually.
>>45621738
>>45621741
Nice try, MS has no reason to copy a failed interface that is KDE, unlike open sores fags, MS has some pride.
>>45621757
>MS has some pride.
Nice fantasy world microsoft shill.
>>45620746
I always see pictures of KDE and question why I'm not using it, but then I remember how shit it is.
>>45621757

hahahahahha, o my fkn sides.

Absolutely disgusting.

>>45621799
I don't see what's the problem? I'm in no hurry and I certainly don't want to use another buggy mess that was KDE4 at release.
Just like KDE5 now is, but in half a year that will change, hopefully.
>>45621812
epic generic response
>>45621816
I dunno I just thought there was a problem because you don't use Gentoo
>>45621839
I'm not in the business of compiling shit on underpowered hardware, it took me 4 and a half hours to compile the 3.10 LTE kernel on this laptop.
>>45621866
LTS*
>>45621687
Yes it does look very similar to Windows 10. KDE 5 was announced early this year, Windows 10 only a couple of months ago. I wonder who copied who? Let me guess, all Linux distributions copied the new Microsoft package manager and virtual desktops as well.
call me when it's stable
>>45621920
5.2
>>45620746
Just updated fedora 21 from 20, where's my fuckin plasma 5?
>>45621953
Fedora 22.
Together with DNF and Wayland.
>>45621953
KDE 5 is not done. There's a(surprisingly small)amount of broken bits, and a ton of missing bits. I had to configure my printers with the cups web interface, like some kind of savage.
>>45621994
>not using the web interface
KDE5 needs to hurry up and reach feature parity with KDE4 because I wanna get rid of GNOME already.
>>45621953
Wait, fedora 21 KDE spin isn't plasma 5? Well that just got dropped from the distro test list
>not using AIX or HP-UX
Maximum plebe
QtCurve can make KDE look good. This is how I've configured mine.
>>45621994
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as KDE, is in fact, KDE Plasma, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Plasma shell. KDE is not a desktop environment unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Plasma desktop made useful by the KDE Frameworks, Applications and Qt libraries comprising a full DE.
Many computer users run a version of the Plasma desktop every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Plasma which is widely used today is often called KDE, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Plasma desktop, developed by the KDE project.
There really is a KDE, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. KDE are the frameworks: the libraries in the system that provide UI and desktop functions to the other programs that you run. The framework is an essential part of a desktop environment, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete desktop environment. KDE Applications are normally used in combination with the Plasma desktop shell: the whole desktop environment is basically the Plasma shell that makes use of the KDE Frameworks. The so-called KDE desktop environment is really Plasma desktop shell.
>>45622016
Why do you people expect them to use an unreleased version of KDE? It comes out next year
>>45622045
I understand that you are joking, but I don't think you understand how terrible what you're suggesting is. Do not joke about such things.
>>45622065
it looks like shit
>>45622065
Eww.
>>45622081
You're not funny, and your desktop looks like shit.
Go back to your shithole, nigger.
>>45622084
Damn, that's one huge tome for a single aspect of a OS.
>>45622084
HP-UX isn't that bad. Unfortunately I never had the chance to work with the OS, just used to install Linux since our company badly needed Itanium machines for DB2 testing
>>45621920
>>45622084
KDE stopped being a whole software compilation. Plasma 5, the desktop, is stable, and so are some applications. You can use KDE 4 applications along with KDE Frameworks-based Applications and Plasma 5 just fine.
>>45622065
Here's with the QtCurve window bars.
>>45622122
Man, I'll never get used to those icons.
>>45622118
well, I tested the latest version and Ctrl+D'ing out of Konsole crashed my entire session
>>45622165
You can disable the entire bar that has them, or you can choose which ones you want. See >>45622174.
>>45622174
>no Vim
How dare you
>>45622118
It can't even configure printers, they can't ship that. Use a tech preview(I don't know if anyone but kubuntu has a tech preview).
>>45622081
kek
>>45622168
When did you? I'm running unstable version from openSUSE and it never crashed on me in the last few weeks.
>>45622195
But it does. At least on openSUSE.
I've been using Gnome 3 for awhile but I'll more than likely switch to KDE 5 when it is released. I can't stand KDE 4, looks like shit no matter how much I customize it
>>45621738
It's only fair, KDE copied Win95/XP
>>45622424
There's no such thing as "KDE 5". the software bundle formerly known as KDE has been split in three
-KDE Frameworks (currently version 5.5, new 5.x every month) as the successor of the KDELibs.
- Plasma (currently 5.1, 5.2 released in January)
- The Applications bundle (version 14.12 should be out in the upcoming week)
>>45622508
Shut the fuck up, you know we mean Plasma5 when we mean KDE5.

Plasma 5 releases NEXT YEAR
>>45622540
Is there a feature roadmap for Plasma/Frameworks anywhere? I wanna know what features are gonna go into 5.2.
>>45621791
This.
KDE seems to be the only actively-developed DE that focuses on mouse+keyboard and doesn't give a shit about the touchscreen market.
Source: I had to switch from KDE4/Plasma5 to Unity because sometimes my touchpad randomly stops working, and in such situations I need a DE that accepts screen input for everything.
>>45622540
5.2 releases next year.
The very page you linked shows 5.0 relaesed in july (first row) and 5.1 in october (fifth row)
>>45620746
Wait whoaaa, that looks beautiful. Is that KDE 5.0?
>>45622633
They DO give a shit about the touchscreen market, but they don't believe it's possible to have a one-size-fits-all UI, so there's more than one setting for plasma depending on the form factor :
desktop for desktop/laptop, netbook for smaller screens, active for tablets, Media center for TV+remote, and there was a proof of concept mobile version of plasma done 4 or 5 years ago as well.
>>45622679
Yes, but now it's called Plasma 5.
That's Plasma 5.0 or Plasma 5.1, and we'll get Plasma 5.2 coming in January.
The future already arrived while you weren't paying attention.
>>45622735
AFAIK Plasma Active isn't actively developed and hasn't seen a release in over a year.
KDE Devs just don't care about touchscreens.

KDE Frameworks is already up to 5.5 now.
>>45622758
Last I hread news from Active was in august when a GSoC student worked on porting Plasma Active to 5.
http://kokeroulis.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/plasma-active-ported-to-kf5/
How do I make i3 work with Plasma 5?
>>45622679
No, see >>45622081.
>>45622787
I think the best option to get tiling into Plasma would be installing a KWin script like this one https://github.com/faho/kwin-tiling.
>>45622787
What the fuck is the point of a tiling WM together with a full blown DE?
>>45622840
To be 1337.
>>45622122
r8?
I couldn't be bothered to remove that blue glow.
>>45622972
Because the blue glow isn't part of the widget theme, but is part of the window decoration theme.
>>45622972

Someones working on a new plasma music player.
p cool
>>45623227
Bloat, deadbeef is all you need.
>>45623227
Why is the titlebar black? What happened to the white one that blended with the rest of the UI?
Pic related.
>>45623300
I don't know who the faggot that posted that picture is, but he has some damn good taste in vidya.
This is default openSUSE 13.2 + KDE 14.4
>>45623266
Does deadbeef have:
A playlist/queue that I can easily add entire albums, genres, artists, or anything that matches a certain keyword?
Multiple shuffle options for shuffling albums, artists genres, etc. and the ability to weight them according to most, least played etc.?
Ability to edit playlist display in order to change item width, amount of information displayed, and album art display?
If the answer to any of those questions is no, I'm not interested.
>>45623227
I think its a breeze theme. A lot of other kde plasma stuff has the same bar.
>>45623372
Sounds like a lot of worthless bloat.
Let me guess, you like Amarok?
>>45623300
The black title bar is the default on, the blended one is a different setting, I think
Or it may even have just been a discarded early suggestion. most of the title bar design was made of discussions on the KDE forums
>>45623266
Deadbeef is GTK. My desktop is Qt.
>>45623431
Being GTK doesn't mean you can't run it on Qt.
And it's not even GTK3 so there should be no horrorshow, visually, with Qt's gtk2 compatibility.
>>45623449
My desktop is Qt. My applications are Qt. My themes are Qt.
Deadbeef is GTK.
>>45623408
If they are features I use, I wouldn't consider that to be useless.
And yes, I use amarok. I use whatever software gets the job done, and in my case deadbeef does not fit the bill.
>>45623358
looks cheap

What browser do you use?
