KDE Project is a SHAM-Do not GET "Sucked In"-Please

KDE Project is a SHAM-Do not GET "Sucked In"-Please 

 I did 48 hour Survey of K.D.E. Desktop and ended up getting a copy which was more than two years old.

The best functional OS I used was about 3 years ago in Ceylon, NetRunner

I have used NetRunner over 20 years and what attracted me was, it supported Synaptic Package Manager.

Best of both worlds, meaning Gnome.

Unfortunately, it has gone dormant. It came from Germany.

Then there was Neptune, which also came from Germany but  then it could not match NetRunner.

Problem with KDE is it is a padded up Desktop Environment, and one cannot Install it on it's own.

I started with KDE being a man with an organized Table Top.

Over time I gave it up and got fixed up with Debian which has over 10 Desktops to try.

Neptune has come a long way, and if YOU want to try KDE, I have no hesitation recommending Neptune.

It can be installed.

Plus points of KDE.

1. KATE command line utility I always have but not used it for ages.

I am not a command line guy now.

KDE advanced Text Editor 

2. Dolphin 

3. Discover 

4. Spectacle 

5. Latte

Docker, never used 

6. Dark Table

7. Konqueror

Web Browser 

I moved to Falkon which is KDE based but heavy 

I am a Firefox guy but use, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Falkon and Midori.

8. KDE Partition Manager 

9. No Games 

It is 29 years old, it has everything that is needed for a Operating System, and why the HELL, they waited so long.

My guess lack of foresight. 

10. My advice for the Developer Guys is hang the cosmetic dressings, Tiling Mangers and Haskell but develop some games as in Valve, to be successful.

Do not Pop OS (cosmic desktop) and Tuxedos.

Both are proprietary. 

11. NixOS and KDE Neon are doing a pretty job and please help them instead of KDE. I have used them for only testing and not as daily driver.

12. Bottom Line is I used Debian Live KDE and installed it and it is pretty good and stable.

By the way, Gnome OS is out and I did not install it. Last time I failed.

My NUC System is in prime condition and no more testing and I m very much happy with Manjaro, both Gnome and Plasma.

My recommendation is if you want to try KDE try Manjaro KDE

ARCH with BlueStar, Endevour, Cachy OS and Storm OS rule all the desktops,

Cachy OS lets you install several desktop up front.

I still continue to say  BlueStar Linux is the most beautiful KDE desktop and I have it in my NUC System with Gnome on top.

Reborn OS is pretty good but it has not updated itself for a little while and is not in my system.
