[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 908556, member: 88422"] I just meant KDE Plasma (which I consider plain vanilla) versus KDE Neon and all the developer stuff that ships with it. From my understanding Kubuntu is developed by a small team of open source volunteer enthusiasts. AFAIK there is no connection between Kubuntu and Ubuntu other than the Ubuntu distro itself. In the past, Kubuntu was supported and developed by Blue Systems. Blue Systems either collaborates or supports KDE Plasma, KDE Neon and Manjaro. Every single distro has an issue sooner or later. The more software you put onto it, and the more hardware you try to use with it, the problems increase exponentially. I am curious as to how all the Lenovo X1 series Fedora\Ubuntu machines will fair ? I wonder if Lenovo will do a better job of Linux support than Dell ? Even dedicated Linux machine ODMs such as System76 and Purism have their fair share of OS problems. PopOS (System76) for example is one of the better Linux distros out there, but working with it has always been problematic unless you are running it on System76 hardware... and even then... Lenovo has claimed it is doing its utmost to get Linux support up to a full level this year end and into the future. In response, Dell says it is going to up its Linux game. I am skeptical because none of them seem to get their act together and facts straight. For example, Dell says that you can buy a Windows XPS 13 and convert it over to a Developer edition by simply installing the current Ubuntu release. However, when you research it, you find that people who did just that experience problems whereas the ones running the Dell OEM Linux OS image don't have the same problems. Oh well, we're talking about Dell which is a hot mess anyway. I am waiting for a Pinebook Pro 64 with Manjaro KDE to arrive. It will probably take a month from Hong Kong due to COVID. [/QUOTE]
