    Linux is the family, you’re just meeting different people at the different spots of the buffet

    I switched from Pop_OS! to KDE Neon because I wanted to try out the latest Plasma features. I was tired of GNOME’s bloat and needing an extension/Tweaks for basic functionality.

    Then KDE broke screen sharing, bricked my install once by breaking LUKS disk encryption, and then it booted to a black screen on updating to the latest LTS…

    So now I’m on Mint and all of my servers are on Debian because I want something that just works. Lol. No more distro hopping.

      How did KDE break your LUKS…? I find that hard to imagine

      Also KDE Neon is a test distro (they don’t call it that from what I remember) for those who want to try out newest KDE lol

      im a mint user too and every few months i start distrohopping but always land back in mint. all other distros always have something that doesn’t work or is just irritating. but mint feels like home.

        If Mint ever supported KDE plasma 6.2 I’d consider switching back to Mint. I just can’t stand how Cinnamon doesn’t give a crap about multi display users and gives them a “There. Good enough. Fuck you.” solution.

          Exactly why I won’t be on a distro if it doesn’t support kde.

          I’ve been all over I’m on arch currently for the first time. It was nice using my PC and having to install the thing I wanted.

          It was a good change.

          I came from kde neon because I enjoy apt… but yay and pacman work currently so I’ll stick with it for a bit.
