The following commands and arguments can be used to reboot a Dolphin using command line:
- To warm boot the Dolphin use: reboot /r.
- To cold boot the Dolphin use: reboot /c.
Open any KDE related program, like Dolphin, Kmail or even System Monitor, not a program like Chrome or Firefox. Then click on the Help option in the menu and then click on About KDE . That will tell your your version.
Of course you can, please follow these steps: Go to System Settings → Startup and Shutdown → Autostart. Choose Latte Dock from the applications list.
- sudo apt-get remove kde-plasma-desktop.
- sudo apt-get autoremove kde-plasma-desktop.
- sudo apt-get purge kde-plasma-desktop.
- sudo apt-get autoremove --purge kde-plasma-desktop.
KDE applications for example, tend to have more robust functionality than GNOME. For example, some GNOME specific applications include: Evolution, GNOME Office, Pitivi (integrates well with GNOME), along with other Gtk based software. KDE software is without any question, far more feature rich.
Software architectureKDE Plasma 5 is built using Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5, predominantly plasma-framework.
Plasma can autostart applications and run scripts on startup and shutdown. To autostart an application, navigate to System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Autostart and add the program or shell script of your choice. For applications, a . desktop file will be created, for shell scripts, a symlink will be created.
They help in starting up the X servers, user sessions and greeter (login screen). You can run sudo dpkg-reconfigure <your display manager> to change between the lightdm, gdm and kdm. So if you are using kubuntu 20.04, I recommendSimple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM) . If you are using ubuntu 18.04, I recommend gdm3.
How to install and setup KDE desktop environment on Arch Linux
- Step 1: Create a sudo user (if you have only root user) You can use the useradd command for creating a new user. I am creating user named dimitrios (that's my name).
- Step 2: Installing KDE Plasma desktop. To run KDE desktop, you need the following packages:
Configuration. The default configuration file for SDDM can be found at /usr/lib/sddm/sddm. conf.
Without question, Kubuntu is more responsive and generally "feels" faster than Ubuntu. Both Ubuntu and Kubuntu, use dpkg for their package management. But when it comes to the GUI front-end used by each distribution, the differences between the two distros suddenly become quite apparent.
Several components of KDE's Settings tools are not very user-friendly. E.g., adjusting desktop settings requires the user to understand the meaning of things like "OpenGL", "Xrender", "vsynch", window "rules", etc. . Few mainstream users will, so that leaves KDE targeting "geekier" users.
KDE has a vast community of people who create application themes, color schemes, widgets, and extensions – all for free!
As for XFCE, I found it too unpolished and more simple than it should. KDE is by far better than anything else (including any OS) in my opinion. All three are quite customizable but gnome is quite heavy on the system while xfce is the lightest out of the three.
Fedora KDE is as good as KDE. I use it daily at work and I'm very pleased. I find it more customizable than Gnome and got accustomed to it pretty quick. I had no problems since Fedora 23, when I installed it for the first time.
You can also see a clear improvement in RAM consumption between KDE Plasma 5.16 and 5.17.
This Linux user just discovered that KDE is lightweight now.
Manjaro KDE Plasma 20 is One of the Best Operating System in World! I would like to really appreciate all the developers who have built this Wonderful Operating System which has won my heart. I am new user switched from Windows 10. Speed and Performance are the spectacular feature of the OS.
So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster.
- Change The Compositing Engine.
- Remove All Bloatware Apps.
- Remove All Bloatware Services.
- Disable All Animations.
- Disable The Compositor (If You Want)
- Considering The 32bit System.
Most Linux distributions not only support both GNOME and KDE but also allow users to set either as their default. Defaults matter and for Ubuntu, arguably the most popular Linux distribution for desktops, the default is Unity and GNOME. While KDE is one of them; GNOME is not.
Step-by-step instructions:
- Log out of the graphical desktop environment.
- Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to reach a text-only login screen.
- Log in to the text-only environment.
- After logging in, type ssh julia , and enter your password again.
- At the julia prompt, type lsumath-restore-desktop-defaults .
There is no such thing as factory reset in ubuntu. You have to run a live disk/usb drive of any linux distro and backup your data and then reinstall ubuntu.
