--- Comment #146 from Nick <ndor...@gmail.com> --- As a longtime Plasma user I heavily suggest moving up the ladder and using Plasma 5. If you find bugs report them; if you find missing features let the developers know. .... Swapnil Bhartiya http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/865760-opensuse-leap-421-review-the-most-mature-linux-distribution/ --- Compare that recommendation [ "if you find missing features let the developers know." ] with how the KDE dev-team handles the reported KDE-4 forgoten features ....... openSUSE Leap 42.1 Review: The Most Mature Linux Distribution ============================================================== by Swapnil Bhartiya .... During the installation process you can choose either Gnome, KDE or others and it will install that particular desktop environment (DE). KDE’s Plasma 5 is the default DE of openSUSE. Once installed you will see both KDE ‘4’ and Plasma 5 in the login screen and you can choose whichever one you prefer. As a longtime Plasma user I heavily suggest moving up the ladder and using Plasma 5. If you find bugs report them; if you find missing features let the developers know. .... In any case whether you want a mature and stable OS or a rolling release OS, openSUSE has you covered. Go ahead take a leap of faith. http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/865760-opensuse-leap-421-review-the-most-mature-linux-distribution/ Commentaries to the above article =================================== Svnset : 23 Nov 15 Guys what u don't get is, that the problems come with KDE plasma. Cannot recommend it even so i liked KDE 4 alot. Moved to leap xfce and no issues at all, works perfect, smooth and sooo fast. It looks just awesome once u're done customizing. Opensuse fully supports xfce lile KDE and GNOME :) In my opinion the author is right it was a big leap! wbm : 12 Nov 15 After a machine died I installed Leap 42.1 on a couple of machines with opensuse 13.1, including a vm. Installation is smooth - HOWEVER, the kde plasma (both 4 and 5) crashed multiple times requiring reboot - definitely not enterprise stable. Fortunately, LXDE works very well, and allows me to actually get work done. Moreover, it allows different wallpapers on different desktops, which KDE removed. I have been years with KDE and it just gets worst. I would not recommend KDE to anybody who needs to use the computer for work rather that submitting kde bug reports. I also has some sound issues which pulse audio after fiddling solved. I would recommend leap 42.1 with LXDE. Ali : 10 Dec 15 Good comment. I confirm that KDE 5 crashes multiple time Shrivathsa Acharya : 13 Nov 15 A very nice distribution. But KDE is pathetic.. They have suggested change of OpenGL or removal of Baloo indexing tool. Still no improvement. SuSE team need to really work hard to correct this... joncr : 14 Nov 15 It's a nice piece of work, but the current refusal to provide live images is a self-inflicted wound. Why can't OpenSuse do what pretty much everyone else does? Why should anyone trust OpenSuse enough to risk their current system by doing a physical install simply to evaluate the product? Expecting people to use Suse Studio to build their own live image is simply clueless, something one would expect from a product manager who thinks all his customers are engineers. Or wishes they were. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
