KDE Releases Plasma 5
KDE Community (3396057) writes "KDE proudly announces the immediate availability of Plasma 5.0, providing a visually updated core desktop experience that is easy to use and familiar to the user. Plasma 5.0 introduces a new major version of KDE's workspace offering. The new Breeze artwork concept introduces cleaner visuals and improved readability. Central work-flows have been streamlined, while well-known overarching interaction patterns are left intact. Plasma 5.0 improves support for high-DPI displays and ships a converged shell, able to switch between user experiences for different target devices. Changes under the hood include the migration to a new, fully hardware-accelerated graphics stack centered around an OpenGL(ES) scenegraph. Plasma is built using Qt 5 and Frameworks 5."
sfcrazy reviewed the new desktop experience. It would appear the semantic desktop search features finally work even if you don't have an 8-core machine with an SSD.
Wow, you really need to get up from the computer, take a step back, and go fuck yourself. There are plenty of names for brands and products from all over the world from different languages that sound good, but FOSS developers typically pick the gayest, stupidest, most asinine sounding names they can find. Naming a program after an existing city is fucking stupid, no matter where you live. Here's a typical Linux developer: "Ohh, I just put together yet another text editor. What should I call it? I know! "Ohhstapicolambaweibinstibo!" It's a great name and it's totally legit because my retarded uncle babbles something like this when he loses a poker hand! It's a great name! Anyone who doesn't like the name is an obviously troll because FOSS is so awesome and so must be the names! Yaaaaah!"
Again, FUCK YOU. Assholes like you that downplay an obvious problem are why we still have problems. No wonder you idiots can't get mainstream. You morons couldn't market clean drinking water to people surrounded by raw sewage.
