plasma 5.13.0

[benny_fletch]

I actually hope not too soon. Now that there is no more Mint KDE I am really relying on a solid LTS KDE distro which is Kubuntu 18.04. There's always Kubuntu 18.10 to see how the desktop is evolving.

I agree... this is the primary reason I installed 18.04, I wanted a rock solid LTS release for both kubuntu and KDE. I wouldn't be against the option for those who have the drive and the time to experiment, but at the end of the day I just want a reliable system with as little headaches as possible.

Plasma 5.13.2 released today:

That won't be immediate, as we are waiting on the required new Qt version to be done for Ubuntu.

Is there any indication when that might be?

Qtcurve is still not available in user edition

[gnomek]

Can anyone check for me please if you have qtcurve package in Neon user edition repositories. It wasn't available sometime ago:

It is my favourite style, must have for me.

So when is it coming for Kubuntu?

So is Neon still the best KDE distro for playing around with Wayland?

Amd HD7790. I'm writing this from Tumbleweed Plasma 5.13.0 on Wayland!!! I see Neon's still using Ubuntu 16.04 base so I'll wait for Kubuntu backports.

Here's one review: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/kde-plasma-5130

Thank you exploder and chimak111 for your responses! I will check out the review and the video tomorrow. At the moment I am happy with 5.12 (especially since it is an LTS), but I am always happy with KDE getting better

I'm waiting patiently for Kubuntu 18.04 to catch up. But 18.04 is working well for me so won't change just yet but must say 5.13 looks great.

[chimak111]

I have been quite pleased with Plasma 5.12.x, so I am curious if you could expand on your comment that 5.13 is awesome.

Memory use is better and the look of the new lock screen is really nice! After opening and using several applications memory use goes right back down after closing them. My installs of Kubuntu 18.04 with plasma 5.12.5 are not changing anytime soon. I will wait for a point release or two before making a decision on upgrading them. The laptop with KDE Neon on it is staying though!
