A quick look at Kubuntu 24.04 Beta

taking a quick tour of kubuntu 24.04. kubuntu is great if you don't require the last and greatest of packages.

Running Kubuntu plasma, on several computers, 1 for a few years without a problem, and for me it is the most stable Linux distro I've tried, and that's what matters to me. I finally got Debian to install on a system, that is touted to be so great and stable, and it lasted about 4 hours before it totally bombed just while changing back grounds. Went back to Kubuntu and I don't' think I'll look elsewhere. It may not be the prettiest environment for some, but it's easy to install and it just works.

Haruna is basically plasma front end to mpv. Fcitx5 is useful for inputting non Latin language characters such as Asian languages like Japanese, Korean etc - multilingual people have to use it (available as a flatpak too). Personally, I use strawberry as a music player over Elisa. I prefer to have a swap partition instead of swap to file (Microsoft Windows uses a swap file). If you want Ubuntu and plasma 6 without snaps, use the upcoming tuxedo os.

Nice installer yes. And I am a big fun of KDE. But they did not replace the slideshow screenshots during installation, as they're mostly still referring to Lubuntu . I assume that's the icon at the beginning that reminded you of something.
