yeah, the new Plasma is hard to beat. I want to like Gnome… I just see no compelling features, really.

Great song and video.

The music producer / mixer in me is yelling, “bring those vocals up to the front more!”.

But hey, doesn’t matter. Great song and vid.

I moved away from plasma a few years back. I can’t remember the reason(s) why. I think it was I just wanted to use a tiling wm. Either way, I decided to pop on the unstable NixOS channel and give plasma6 a go. I ain’t going back to no damn tiling shenanigans.

What the plasma team did here is what, I think, a lot of people have been waiting for. It feels very polished and refreshed. I’m so damn impressed by it.

Either way, I agree:

Developers: You did something amazing here.

You don’t really compile anything during or after install with arch linux unless you find something on the AUR that needs to compile? If so, just look for <package_name-bin>.

Otherwise, a really nice system is NixOS.

Another is GNU Guix.

Yeah, reaper is definitely not open.
