Look! No ads!

Take back control. Choose Plasma.

@[email protected] @[email protected] is there any distro for Raspberry Pi with KDE? I’d love to give it a try 🙌🏻

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

@in_sympathy @kde @[email protected] I recommend Fedora KDE Spin

For installation instructions, checkout: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/raspberry-pi/

Note: Current stable release of Fedora only includes Plasma 5. Plasma 6 will be included in the upcoming stable release, Fedora 40, which is scheduled for release later this month.

@triskelion @[email protected] @[email protected] I guess that’s what I’ll try then 🙌🏻

KDE slaps. Easily the best desktop experience of any option.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I would love to use something like Plasma, but there is no equivalent of windows-rs for me to write my own tiling window manager on top of the DE in a sane language 🙃

@LGUG2Z
Assuming you are implying "rust is the only sane language",
take a look at what @kdab is doing, they have been posting quite a bit about #rust #cpp #Qt interop lately.

They might also be able teach you sane C++ 😉

@[email protected] @[email protected] actually i've been curious about this for a while. what would it take to port X or Wayland and all the other stuff needed to run a Linux desktop to Windows? could be a fun project for someone with a severe lack of sanity

Some of it already works through WSL.

KDE already has Windows apps but I suspect making KDE work outside of Linux would be really challenging and probably impossible on Windows

@soop @[email protected] @[email protected] you already said what it would take, their sanity.
