WesMason<p>Happy Thursday!</p><p>So here I am in KDE (kbuntu 25.04) and I'm looking at the notifications. Is it just me or do they really suck. The design to start feel old.</p><p>Second, if I have three open, I close the bottom one, the ones above it do not slide down. They just hover there. If I go to close the one above that, as soon as I hover over it, it moves down, but the one above that does not...</p><p>So I go to close that one above and it also finally moves once the mouse touches it. The entire system is designed that you cannot easily close any of them, what am I missing? </p><p>KDE 6.3.4<br>KDE Framework 6.12<br>Qt Version 6.8.3<br>Kbuntu 25.04, Wayland</p><p><a href="https://lifergeek.social/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kde</span></a> <a href="https://lifergeek.social/tags/kbuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kbuntu</span></a> <a href="https://lifergeek.social/tags/kdeplasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kdeplasma</span></a> <a href="https://lifergeek.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>

(It's a pretty cool concept overall, but I think giving KDE Plasma for Linux newcomers isn't really the best idea, because the tons of customization options, and occasional bugs here and there might scare away some Windows users. I would rather give them Zorin OS with their customized version of GNOME, or Linux Mint / LMDE with Cinnamon. (No, I'm not a KDE hater, I think it's a great option for those who want to fully customize their desktop experience, or the PewDiePie type of guys who already adopted the mindset of tweaking around, playing around with the options, not wanting to go back to Windows when encountering a bug, but it's not for every newcomer.))

Introducing KDE Linux!

Recently, an immutable Linux distribution that was made by the makers of the KDE desktop environment has been released! The distribution has the same name as the desktop environment, called KDE Linux, that showcases the latest and the greatest development versions of KDE Plasma desktop and its applications. It’s a volunteer-run project that aims to solve problems related to experiencing the latest and the greatest version.

Currently, it’s available only in the Testing version, but other editions that are more suitable for the general public should be available soon. You can download KDE Linux here.

Download KDE Linux

This immutable Linux distribution allows you to try out the latest and the greatest version of KDE Plasma and its applications. It uses immutability to ensure that no core OS files will be modifiable, thus making your system safer. It offers reliable system updates and takes a snapshot before every single update so that your system can be restored in case a faulty update caused problems.

KDE Linux gets its flexibility from the KDE Plasma desktop, with high customization to let you show off your style. The operating system is also intuitive, because KDE Plasma offers panels, icons, and menus in places where you expect them to be. Additionally, it offers a rich library of high-quality software that are free to get.

Based on Arch Linux, KDE Linux is an immutable operating system that provides atomic updates and snapshots to give you ability to restore the system to how it was before the update. For software that is not available through Discover, you can install them using Distrobox, Toolbox, and Homebrew. You can also use AppImage files to install more software.

For developers, KDE Linux makes life easier by reducing the need of rebuilding the entire set of dependencies, saving both disk space and electricity. It also provides more deterministic builds, ensuring that your app gets built exactly the same way as you want it to be; no more inconsistent functionality or appearance!
