KDE Plasma 5.15 Released (kde.org)
jrepin writes: Today, KDE launched Plasma 5.15, the first stable release of the popular desktop environment in 2019. For this release the Plasma team has focused on hunting down and removing all the paper cuts that slow you down. Plasma 5.15 brings a number of changes to the configuration interfaces, including more options for complex network configurations. Many icons have been added or redesigned to make them clearer. Integration with third-party technologies like GTK and Firefox has been improved substantially. Discover, Plasma's software and add-on installer, has received tons of improvements to help you stay up-to-date and find the tools you need to get your tasks done. For a more detailed list of features/changes, you can browse the full Plasma 5.15 changelog.
I used to love KDE. Still do actually. I love the fact that it's open source and looks beautiful.
Unfortunately, KDE and Linux in general just can't compare to windows 10 these days. Way too many crashes, general slowness overall, and of course that's not to mention lacking windows software (anything specialised like the music creation software I use is windows only, and even I'd the software is for Linux, the plugins are windows only in most cases so it's pointless. And yes I know of wine but that's no solution).
Such a shame too, as I'd love to go back to Linux and KDE, but they really need to get their act together.CDO they even have their own browser anymore? Last I looked Firefox was their browser lol. Seems the project is dying, and that's a real shame.
