I wish I installed Plasma on my Ubuntu sooner (lemmy.ca)

Just installed KDE Plasma on my Ubuntu system to replace GNOME and Wayland. Mainly to get rid of an issue where my games would lose mouse lock, but now I can have two different wallpapers on both monitors and have a clock on my second monitor which is AWESOME.

I WISH I INSTALLED IT SOONER, I LOVE IT.

I want to love KDE, and really, I do, but I just can’t replace my normal desktop. Gnome makes sense to me. I disagree with a lot of their “simplification” ideology, but I can’t say they do a bad job at it.

I’m happy you’re enjoying KDE. Enjoy it even more for me. :)

ha! i'm the exact opposite! it's great that Linux provides us options.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

True! Everyone gets to use what they like. :) It’s one of the many reasons I switched from winblows.

Have you tried plasma 6?

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I have. It’s a huge improvement over 5. I use it on my virtual machines, since flinging the mouse into the corner isn’t really an option there, I just can’t get used to it on my main machine.

Plasma has mouse corner stuff, I always turn it off because I will forget that it's on and accidentally trigger something, but it's there and ready to bind to your actions!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I meant that I don’t use Gnome on my virtual PCs, because it’s not as easy without the mouse corner stuff. KDE is easy even without the mouse corner stuff.

Oh, I see lol. Early morning misread, sorry

I misread the same way and I've been awake for about 120 seconds
