Thanks for the encouragement, I will! I’ll report here in case anyone is curious.
Thank you for such a thorough and informative answer! And for sharing your user experience too. I had not heard about GnomeOS. As soon as I have some days to experiment, I’ll give Neon a try.
Thank you for sharing this! Yesterday I was searching online for Tumbleweed user experiences on Thinkpad, but I only found info about older Thinkpad models. I’ll try it from a live disk. I might also switch to Framework later on…
Thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask which machine you’re using? (I’m on a Thinkpad.)
That’s a neat description.
Never heard about Garuda, cheers!
Great advice, thank you! I’ll give a first try to the first three through live disks :)
Exploring and learning are the essence of life :)
Thank you for the info. From what I understand, one only sees up/downvotes from one’s own instance (lemmy.ca in my case). When I posted it I saw it going down to -3 in a couple of minutes, so I was wondering if my question was really dumb…
I got lots of great advice in this post!
I’ll delete my edit :)
Thank you! I was hoping to hear about this kind of user experiences.
The fact they they listen to users’ preference is a great plus for me.
Advice much appreciated!
Very informative, thanks! Also for the heads-up about install scripts and the cause.
Cheers! I’ve heard that one can install Debian and simply choose KDE there. I’m weighing my options… Undecided among Debian+KDE, Kubuntu, and KDE Neon. Although it also depends on how each deals with my machine. Will have to try some live disks…
Now I understand. Kubuntu instead makes modifications to the Ubuntu core. Although Neon must be somehow removing Gnome, I imagine.
Good to know, cheers.
Thank you, very helpful! May I ask what you use now? Do you know if they add their software via snaps or flatpaks?
Very helpful, thank you so much!
PS: they say “most other software is not supported”. Have you ever had any problem installing other programs? As examples, I’d prefer using Firefox to Konqueror, and other programs to KDE connect.
Thank you for explaninig what they mean by “base”! But then what’s the difference with Kubuntu? In the FAQ they say “as there is vast overlap in the base offerings of both Kubuntu and KDE neon”, but what do they mean with “base offerings”?
Thank you for sharing your experience with it. Good to hear from many people that it was reliable.
