@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social jackbox party pack always brings a smile
What is this? Sounds fun
@Bro666 @warriormaster basically one person hosts a game through a computer and everyone else joins via website
Oooooh, I think I might join my local party
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social ah yes, Continent.
Oooh, I wish I had time for this. :)
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Cool! Out of curiosity how does migrating from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6 work?
Your distro will package it and it will be like any other update.
I run Debian (cries in late updates)
Debian is stable and bug free. If you don’t want to have issues you should stick with it.
If you want something newer you can install Fedora in Virtual manager or replace Debian with Fedora.
I understand and its also the reason i now run Debian. I want stable, but to me, stable does not mean old. New can be more stable and also be better in many ways and kde seems to do a fantastic job. To me stable should mean the newest we got that is running without issues for everyone. So if new does not have any issues for anyone and runs smoothly it should get adopted asap so everyone can enjoy it and it becoms the new stable.
Debian stable doesn’t ship our bugfix releases. It is not “stable” in the meaning that normal people use
Its stable in the sense that it is unchanging and reliable. That means by the time it ships there shouldn’t really be much in the way of bugs left. I personally can not stand bugs that’s why I usually avoid KDE in favor of Gnome. Debian has been the only distro as of yet to be free of bugs from my perspective.
Debian ships the latest thing that’s available at the time of tagging, and that is not bug free in any way or form. In the case of Debian 12 that’s Plasma 5.27.5… There were 5 bugfix versions after that. People are experiencing known bugs on Debian stable, not no bugs.
@Bro666 Ok cool
though I live close to Nürnberg, my wife will think I’m crazy if I go to that 😅 😘
Reminds me of the Windows 7 launch parties lol
I admit that KDE Plasma is super customizable and looks great but I just cannot get over the Windows-style taskbar and Start button.
Please make something that is unique to Linux (I know, easier said than done).
As you said, what’s stopping you from customizing the taskbar? There’s a few good applets to replace the start menu with something different as well
You’re looking for GNOME.
Why? Taskbars" (really “panels” - “taskbars” are something else) in Plasma can be moved, removed, doubled up, made longer, shorter, wider, thinner… You can configure them any which way you want, or not at all and do away with them altogether.
The user said that despite the customizability of Plasma, they are looking for something unique, hence why I recommended GNOME for that expectation.
It’s important to remember that although Plasma can be customized to any whim, not every user has the patience to do so.
