Dear All,
Having in mind the discussions appeared lately about KDE Neon... I think we shall have an official postion since we still ship kde as default de. My main concern is that bugs reported from anything else than neon will be considered non-kde. Already had this experience working in a kde project with some of the supporters of neon...
for background: this is Bryan article http://www.networkworld.com/article/3032063/opensource-subnet/kdes-new-linux... a more interesting because of comments version https://plus.google.com/+BryanLunduke/posts/XfLoyBaxeea
the kde-promo mailing list (this got censored to prevent the best coming out from neon supporters) [kde-promo] KDE Neon and how to handle this?
an interesting link on reedit... In which the is kde neon a distro question is answered... by one of the neon people... https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/43tp4i/ is_kde_neon_a_distribution_or_not/ ten days ago seems the answer is: yes, and is indeed a fork/continuation of some other distro three days ago the answer seems to be yes and no...
Regards, Alin "We use Ubuntu as a base for KDE neon because we feel it offers the best technology as a stable release and the best third-party support. The KDE neon team is familiar with Ubuntu, having worked with it for over a decade. We also feel that Ubuntu users will miss out if they do not have up-to-date KDE software." http://neon.kde.org.uk/faq
Interesting; they are saying Ubuntu offers the "best" technology -- a distro that doesn't have anything to do with KDE. I guess us openSUSE users are using an inferior platform according to the KDE Neon team. Do we really need yet another distro when new Linux users are already overwhelmed by the amount of distros currently out there and learning how to use Linux? Neon is a stupid idea, and obviously the person who made that quote let his own personal bias be made public. That FAQ really should be modified. So now we have yet another fork of Ubuntu, which is a fork of Debian. Just what we needed. sdm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
