Kwin and KDE

I have decided to revisit KDE experience from Gnome setting and say only Good things about KDE.

I know it is slow to respond (from my NUC) from Gnome base but I think I am missing a lot of Utilities from Rhythm Box to K3B to Gemini suite.

My advice for a guy or girl who comes from Windows background is to go for Kwin Window Manager and KDE Desktop. 

If YOU are in Gnome Go to Synaptic Package Manager and select Kwin and KDE utilities and select the application you need after completion of KDE install.

Everyhing is configured for you and one need not bother or fiddle with configuration files.

IF you need lot of rendering, Tiling and Stacking, one has to go for a good Graphic Card, not necessarily of the new generation.

I did not like Kile.

Dolphin is pretty Good.

Discover is pretty good.

What about Kdenlive.

What about Spectacle.

Super Tux and Tux Racer.

One could install Gnome utilities too like, Brasero , SMP Player, Celluloid, MPV, Clapper and many more.

It has a graphic installer from which one can pick and choose additional applications and uninstall that are duplicates (having the same function).

The application is Discover and there is no Krun.

Dolphin file manager is pretty good.

All about KDE Desktop of Plasma

What ever YouTube Guys say about KDE and Plasma Desktop is it is very heavy. 

It is as heavy as LibreOffice and takes about 3 minutes to boot with or without file checking.

KDE is by design immutable and cannot be changed.

Worse scenario is when mounted one cannot even format a USB stick.

Even if you want to view the files in a USB one has to give the root password as permissions. 

One cannot write an image.

Guys who are praising KDE should give its UGLY side, too. 

However, I have one instance of KDE as Netrunner to test it and compare with Gnome.

But KDE is getting better and the best current Linux distribution with KDE is Netrunner. 

I am reinstalling it again, after my mishap with Ubuntu Unity and Cinnamon corrupting the GRUB boot loader. 

The real problem with KDE is it is immutable and there is no repository to install additional Linux Utilities.

This can be overcome if one installs Kwin and KDE at the same time on top of Gnome.

Netrunner beats the other guys including Gentoo by having Synaptic Package Manager.

Installer is Calamara and installation is over. 

I am rebooting now.

Additionally Netrunner has both User and Root facility one of the basic features of Linux base.

There is no clutter in the desktop but on the right hand side the applications are nicely arranged.

The kernel seems to be old and it integrate well with Gnome 11 version desktop which I love. 

Applications are alas arranged in an alphabetical order and one need  or has to remember the applications one uses on daily basis.

Ragata OS of SuSe has the best KDE desktop and unlike other KDE clients Ragata is able to format a USB and I believe it can write Iso image, if needed.

There other distributions that support KDE.

2. PCLinux

3. Neptune

5. Manjaro

6. KDE Neon

7. KaOS
