The latest and greatest of KDE software on a rock-solid base of Ubuntu.

Sounds very promising, isn't it?

I installed KDE Neon on my office computer two months ago and in this video I would like

to share with you my experience and answer the question:

Is it the best KDE distribution?

When KDE Neon was released for the first time, I thought Wow!

This could really become the best KDE distribution

I have finally got a chance to install it on my computer,

test it extensively for two months and share my experience with you.

By the way, if you are new to this channel consider subscribing and I also encourage

all my subscribers to activate the bell notification, so you will never miss any new video.

After using KDE Neon for two months and I can say it is going to stay on my production

machine at work for a while.

Overall, it is a very good distribution.

But it isnot the best KDE distribution.

Let's have a look at its pros and cons.

Let's start with the positive sides of KDE neon.

It is stable.

I have not experienced a single crash.

And believe me I use it heavily every day.

To give you an idea.

My work assumes 4 virtual desktops and many applications open in each of these desktops.

The processor often has to work really hard

performing computations at 100% load in all 12 threads of my processor

I often load almost all 32 GB of RAM.

And this computer with KDE Neon works 24 by 7 with a reboot maybe once per week.

So, you can rely on KDE Neon to do a lot of work.

It based on Ubuntu.

Whether you like it or not, Ubuntu has become a standard as a Linux OS.

Many developers first create a deb packages specifically for Ubuntu

and later for other distros.

There are many third party repositories created for Ubuntu specifically

Also, if you have a problem, it is way easier to find a solution for Ubuntu than any other distribution.

So, you can install any Ubuntu package in KDE Neon and if you have difficulties installing

a program, you are also will be able to find a solution relatively quickly.

I use KDE Neon for work, so Ubuntu base was a must for me.

It comes clean.

KDE Neon comes with no applications per-installed

except these applications you can see in the menu now

This may be a negative side for new users,

but it was a really positive side for me.

I prefer to have a clean desktop with minimum packages, so I can install only what I need.

These are the graphical programs I installed

There are also some command line programs I installed in addition to these,

but I cannot recall them all.

KDE Neon has a recent Plasma 5 desktop.

If you are my long term subscriber, you already know I am a big fun of KDE.

Plasma 5 is the most powerful and productive desktop for me.

I used to run LM 17 with KDE 4 desktop at work,

but when I installed Arch Linux with the latest Plasma 5 on my home computer.

it was little uncomfortable to look at KDE 4 when I knew there was Plasma 5.

So, having a recent version of Plasma 5 on a solid base of Ubuntu is a perfect set up for a working machine.

During the last two months KDE Neon upgraded their Plasma 5 desktop several times.

It is Plasma 5.13.3 on KDE Neon User edition at the moment of recording this review.

Which is the same version as Plasma desktop as on my home computer with Arch Linux.

So you can have quite a recent version of plasma 5 desktop

If you want to be on the bleeding edge of Plasma desktop

but you don't want to install Arch Linux,

you can also install KDE Neon Developer edition.

However, I can say KDE Neon User edition is also updated regularly and the difference

when a new version of Plasma comes to Arch and KDE Neon User Edition is not that big.

Maybe a few weeks.

So, the whole concept of latest and greatest of KDE software on a rock-solid base of Ubuntu

is the most appealing feature of KDE Neon.

That's all I wanted to say in terms of pros.

Now, lets have a look at some cons.

It is not a distribution for new users.

You need some experience to run KDE Neon.

There are almost no pre-installed applications.

You have to install everything you need.

Of course, it can be both pros and cons.

But I think some new users may have difficulties finding and installing programs they need.

Software Center is still not good enough.

This is related to the previous point.

New user will most likely use the Software Center to install programs and to update their system.

From my experience, it doesn't work really well.

The Software Center doesn't crash, which is good.

But it is very-very slow regardless whether you install programs or update your system.

For me it is ok, I mostly use Synaptic package manager to install programs

and I update through the command line.

But it may be a problem for those who want to use the Software Center exclusively.

Confusion between the package manager pkcon and apt.

KDE Neon recommends using pkcon as a command line package manager.

This is different from Ubuntu package manager apt, which is also present in KDE Neon.

Most user will assume they can use apt because KDE Neon is based on Ubuntu,

but KDE Neon recommends using pkcon.

I found this information accidentally on the KDE Neon website.

It says that pkcon is more reliable to handle the updates.

So, I use pkcon to update the system.

It updates the system but its command line interface needs to be polished.

For example, after the updates this line shift happens all the time.

This is not nice.

But to install packages I use a well familiar apt or the synaptic package manager

My understanding is that you need to use pkcon to install updates,

but apt is fine for the rest.

KDE Neon is little outdated in its core.

Because it uses Ubuntu long term support base, the developers need some time after the release

of Ubuntu LTS to port it to KDE neon.

For example, when Iinstalled KDE Neon it was based on on Ubunutu 16.04,

while there was Ubuntu 18.04 already

It is not a serious problem if you don't need the latest kernel, for example.

My computer has very recent processor

It's Intel Core i7-8700 with integrated Intel UHD Graphics

To work correctly, it required the kernel 4.15 or later.

But KDE neon had the kernel 4.13 at that time.

Luckily the kernel 4.15 was in the repositories, and I was able to install it.

Currently, at the moment of recording this video, KDE Neon comes with the kernel 4.15 by default.

But It was not the case when I installed it two months ago.

So, if you need the latest software, you may experience some problems from time to time

I have two more complains about KDE Neon, which I hope will be fixed soon.

Non QT apps have problems with tooltips messages.

I have mentioned this is as a bug in my 7 annoyances of Plasma 5 video.

It is still not fixed.

As you can see in some applications, tooltips are simply not readable.

You can fix it by going to Settings -> colors -> and disable Apply colors to non QT apps.

Now, the tooltips are shown normally.

It is still supsurprising to see this problem in KDE neon.

I have seen other distributions fixed this problem.

Bug in favorite apps.

I was not able to remove some of my favorite apps in the KDE menu.

Normally, you can also remove some of these apps and add you own.

The problem was that after reboot or logout, some removed favorite apps came back.

In my case, Kate was showing up again and again after I removed it.

I fixed that problem by removing these files

I logged out, logged in, and set my favorite apps again.

After these steps everything worked fine.

It's not a big bug but I still think it was worth mentioning.

To conclude, KDE Neon is a great distribution if you like Plasma 5 desktop and Ubuntu base,

but you need to spend quite some time to set up and configure it.

Not as much time as you would spend installing and configuring Arch Linux,

but still sufficient amount of time.

Unfortunately, KDE is not the best KDE distribution

Actually, I would say there is no the best KDE distribution at the moment.

If you need something sort of install and start working, try Kubuntu.

It is a more user-friendly than KDE Neon, but it also not perfect.

Whenever I try Kubuntu I always find obvious bugs in it.

You can also install Linux Mint 18 KDE,

it has little older Plasma version but it is Plasma 5 and

the it is supported until 2021.

It is better than KDE Neon and Kubuntu in terms of user-friendliness and stability

But it has an older version of Plasma 5.

I may make a video comparing all these KDE distributions, but for now,

what is you favorite KDE distribution and why?

Please, leave a comment below

and thank you for watching.

THIS IS: THE MINI DOC - Duration: 8:42.

My name is Cedric, I am 25 years old. I've been producing for 10 years now, mainly Hardstyle.

I chose Hardstyle because I like its unique sounds

There are complicated sounds, a lot of sound design and stuff

and that's what I like and continue to do.

When I switched from duo to solo,

I had no idea for a name, I didn't know how to begin and what to do.

I needed help so I asked the B2S manager «what can we do?»

We did kind of a brainstorm and he gave me a list.

There was «Brutality» in it,

and that name was also an idea from E-Force

The B2S manager asked E-Force: «I have a new project»

«Do you have an idea for a name?» and he said «Brutality»

so he put it in the list and that's the one I chose.

and few years later, I was a part of his first album and it was really cool

and that's how Brutality was born

I thought it fit my personality, my way of thinking, etc...

So we kept this name and we started to work on the project

for social medias and stuff... and I have no regret.

My first release was on Q-DANCE NEXT, a Q-DANCE sub label.

It was cool to release it on that one because it's a plateform

which is made for new projects and for upcoming talents,

and it was the perfect place, the track was: «THIS IS WAR»

I didn't know what do to exactly

I didn't know if I wanted to go for Raw or Euphoric

but I thought it was just in between and I said: «I will keep this style»

of course with my own touch

and the result was pretty cool

to see all the reactions on socials.

EMF last year was really sick!

Honestly, when they contacted me,

I was like, it's a true challenge

because they told me «Hardstyle in the south of France» and it was kinda strange to me.

I was like: "What the ..."

I believed them 80% but I had doubts like 20% as an artist

will it work?

They worked really hard on that project,

If it didn't work, I would have been sad for them.

But it was a successful challenge, it was full packed

it was also "WOW" on socials

«Hardstyle at ELECTROBEACH, number one electronic music festival»

David Guetta on the main stage, that was amazing

It worked, it was crazy,

it was a huge first experience

I played there last week-end,

today we are the 19th of July and it was really sick!

Last year I played pretty early, second artist

I played from 6:00PM to 8:00PM

and this year I did the closing

I can tell you closing down the stage was huge

there was an atmosphere

It was also a true challenge for me

because I was wondering if I had to change my set a little bit,

Should I go harder?

Should I finish with Hardcore?

And at the end, I just stayed myself

I played a little bit harder than usual but I stayed myself and everything went ok

and thanks again to everyone, that was really cool!

DOMINATOR, I've been waiting for that festival for a long time now

I didn't expect it

I can't wait to play there. A lot of people are waiting for it and it makes me happy

It will take place on the 21 of July

and the funny thing is that it's my first gig with Q-DANCE and ART OF DANCE

and a lot of people think I play a lot in Holland

but at the moment, that's not the case.

I played in Belgium, France. I mean I already played in Holland 3 times at LOUDNESS some years ago

but DOMINATOR is a festival which is important to me

and I'm really proud to be a part of the line up and it will be sick for sure!

PARTY ROCKER, THE MINI ALBUM it's a long time project

when I started producing, I always wanted to do an album.

It was a true challenge for me, I didn't know how people would react on socials

I was like: «Is it too soon in my career?»

And then I was like: «Let's do it and let's see what happens.»

I took the risk, I announced the artwork, I put everything on socials and the response was really cool

It was almost like a big name which would announced it

I was honored

and you're producing so many tracks you don't even know which track you wanna put in it

I had a lot of tracks

I was like: «HUH» should I go for...

6 tracks, only solo music

maybe 1 or 2 collabs

but I had to do it,

I put everything on socials

now let's see how will people react after the release on download portals,

I can't wait!

It's a great opportunity

to express everything I want.

I can produce experimental music,

or I can go more melodic

and at the end I stay free to do what I like

you have more freedom in a mini-album

than you have with a solo track or an EP.

That's just my opinion. Curious if people are thinking the same...

It's a nice experience, I can't wait for it to be released!

Inspiration is a really wide subject...

I think that people have different inspirations

many people will say...

For example a painter will hang out in a parc,

he will be inspired by something he will see...

A musician can be inspired by everything in my opinion.

My inspiration is my family, my daily life,

things I see in my life... That's definitely a wide subject.

In music, my inspirations are...

The first name I would give is DJ SNAKE

I have to much respect for him, he is like a model to me,

and for so many people who are listening to his music

because he has an incredible story! It took 14 years for him to get into the music industry!

Respect! That's just sick!

There also other artists like...

DILLON FRANCIS, DIPLO...

But if we talk about Hardstyle

I would say: «NOISECONSTROLLERS, HEADHUNTERZ, WILDSTYLEZ...»

For me, they are on top, they are the best ones!

TECHNO PARADE was a huge challenge (AGAIN)

because last year, at TECHNO PARADE

our friends Hardpulz hosted their own stage

It was incredible, no one could expect it...

When I was there, I said: «Wow guys, you really did it!»

I was looking around me and I said: «Respect!»

This time, we are doing it again together

and this time, I have the opportunity to push my artists, I'm really excited

It will be a sick experience again for sure

and I have a lot of respect for Hardpulz

They are 3 guys, less than 30 years old

They invest a lot of time, energy, their own money

Everyone starts to have huge respect for them

and I think we will have a lot of projects with them,

and I can't wait,

as Brutality but also as Mandala

I think there is a huge future for Hardpulz in France!

For now, thanks to everyone for following me everyday.

People on socials, at gigs and stuff

I'll keep working really hard because I am doing it for 10 years already and I won't stop!

I can't wait to introduce you new projects,

I have many things to show you so, thanks again to everyone and...

Peace, bye-bye!

Just In Obama is Hiding After His SICK Secret Gets Out - Duration: 13:21.

Just In Obama is Hiding After His SICK Secret Gets Out

The Obama secrets are tumbling out like a ripped bag of cat litter.

In recent weeks, we have discovered unbelievable revelations about what the Obama White House

did during the 2016 election.

And it's only getting worse.

It's clear that Obama's DOJ and FBI were abusing their power to stop Trump.

They hatched schemes that were aimed at discovering dirt on his campaign; their goal was to expose

Trump as some kind of fraud, destroying his chances at becoming president.

The only problem? Trump was no fraud.

The accusations that he was working with Russia were never true.

What really happened?

Obama's Department of Justice violated laws and the Constitutional rights of Americans

for political purposes.

Even worse, they knew what they were doing was wrong, but assumed it could be covered

up—once Hillary took the White House.

Now we are discovering the conspiracy might have been much worse than we thought.

Turns out, Obama himself might have been leading the bogus investigation.

From Conservative Tribune:

"The latest muddiness comes from a series of text messages sent in early August of 2016

which indicate that the Obama administration was trying to take over the FBI's investigation

into alleged links between low-level Trump campaign staffers and Russia.

The messages were also revealed as part of a longer report by The Hill's John Solomon

which detailed an unsettling pattern of an FBI that may have violated its own rules in

regard to contacts with informants during the Trump investigation, and which hasn't

been completely forthcoming about the timeline of the probe.

'They voiced alarm when an FBI colleague — 'Liz' — suggested the Obama White

House was about to hijack the investigation,' Solomon wrote.

'Went well, best we could have expected,' Strzok texted Page after an Aug. 5, 2016,

meeting.

'Other than Liz quote 'the White House is running this.'

Page then texted to assure Strzok of a paper trail showing the FBI in charge: 'We got

emails that say otherwise.'"

The FBI and DOJ do fall under the president's authority, but their work and investigations

operate independently of the White House.

That's by design.

Although the president oversees what they do, he's not supposed to interfere.

But from what Strzok texted to Page in August 2016, it seems like Obama had much more control

over their attempts to undermine Trump.

More and more is coming out that shows us just what the last administration was trying

to do: they seemed to violate a variety of laws and safeguards, just to steal the election.

Obama was so determined to prevent Trump from winning, he'd do anything to stop that from

happening.

The White House was leading the DOJ and FBI to greater and greater extremes; they pushed

the boundaries of what they are legally allowed to do.

For what?

To infiltrate and destroy a campaign over unproven allegations, and the real reason:

to stop a Republican from becoming president.

Now's the time for every American to wake up.

The Democratic Party does not believe in our government, democracy, or freedom; they almost

destroyed our way of life, just to win an election.

Think on that, fellow Americans.
