KDE Plasma in 180 Seconds - Linux

KDE Plasma is a Linux desktop environment that gives the user a simple lightweight base with loads of customization potential.

I can make a Plasma desktop look better in 5 minutes than I can make Windows look in 5 years.

I like it! You should do a series on all the DEs as a quick walkthrough. I know people cover KDE and Gnome a lot but not as much as cinnamon and xfce and others. Could be fun!

KDE neon was the distro I chose when switching to Linux from Win10 about a month again.
As a noobie to Linux I think it's KOOL and fairly easy to navigate around.
So now I just have to learn all the Linux jargon but thanks to Google it's not to bad.

Absolutely wonderful explanation! I'm trying out Manjaro w/ KDE plasma.

To me Plasma never looks as outdated, I simply see something nostalgic and amazing each time I install it and I know I can customize it as I wish with tons of options, contrary to Gnome that I feel "Oh damn... I hope at least the few extensions I use are up to date and working to let this desktop at least useful"

Ever since the KDE Arch Gui install vid I have been daily driving Arch KDE 25th anniv and loving it. Thank you

The K doesn't stand for anything anymore, but it used to stand for "Kool" back in the early days IIRC since you had the proprietary CDE (Common Desktop Environment) and then KDE (Kool Desktop Environment)

This was awesome! Just a high level overview of a DE. I want more!

Currently using KDE on my home desktop (Garuda) and work laptop (Feren OS). So far, I like how customizable it is, it's a crime that there aren't more prominent themed KDE distro - with KDE neon, kubuntu, and Manjaro KDE being the most recommended ones but doesn't even scratch into its potential (Manjaro KDE is apparently interested in adopting Feren's desktop layout switcher implementation though).

KDE officially making a GNOME-like Overview is cool. People has wanted it for long, and they deliver (though it isn't finished yet). Hide_titles making it easy to have a Borderless Maximized Window is great too - combined with Global Menu, it's better than Unite. And system tray icon out of the box too. And with how much less drama in KDE community, I think I'm going to stay with KDE for a while.

Yes, can't wait for Gnome in 10 seconds video

i think it's just neat that i can go back to windows 7's aero style on my pc.
with the sound effects and everything.

[KuruGDI]

YES,
PLEASE DO ALL THE OTHER DEs AS WELL!!

😂 I too forget about F12 drop down terminal... I've just recently started out with KDE again, long time ago I hated it for it's bloatness, now seems actually pretty cool.

I've been daily driving KDE Plasma with Neon on my laptop since this summer and the experience so far has been positive. It is lightweight but also looks modern enough in its default Breeze theme. Some of their tools like KDE Connect are the best you can find on Linux.

The K in KDE doesn't stand for anything. Kbut Kit Kis Kabsolutely Kneeds Kto Kbe Kprefixed Kto Kevery Kapplication Kname.

[awyeagames]

Please, do more of these with other DEs!

[StormWarningMom]

Coming from XFCE it's a visual buffet of delights. Love it.

KDE is such a great desktop. It is Kool Desktop Environment. It should have been CoOL Desktop Environment but CDE was not allowed .... but it doesn't matter because KDE is KOOL ;-)
Thank you TechHut for this great video and all the videos you make!!! Such a great job you are doing!!
