I loved KDE 3 and had my doubts about the switch to 4.0, but I wouldn't go back. Nowadays, KDE has so many configurable features. It can become your very own work of art in a functional desktop. If Windows had this ability, most users heads would explode.
Naah it ill never happen because Windows are too.........Wobbly....
I love KDE plasma. It a light no-nonsense desktop that has everything you want and allows you to turn off things you don't want.
KDE should receive the Linux DE mainstream treatment, instead of the other one that sucks so bad that it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
unlike another DE that literally makes you install third party software to do basic tweaks (You literally can't even disable mouse accel by default) + changes fundamental settings/UI that ruin your workflow just because the developers think they know better than you
now that I think of it, that sounds shockingly similiar to other mainstream operating system(s), how coincidental!
@@smishyt I really like kde and use it on a daily basis. But it's kind of buggy compared to GNOME.
@@AbhishekBM GNOME is a cancer growing in the Linux community for nearly a decade now. All these years resuscitating a dead old man on a wheelchair, forcing yourself to like something that acts exactly the opposite of what it claims to be, IT'S OVER. I'm grateful for choice in the Linux world, because I'm never touching the GNOME mess ever again.
All the others are clunky, awkward, and they can not be configured for a streamlined work flow. They seem to have been created by sheep. Sheep don't think, they just follow the crowd, never considering there may be a better way, and never knowing what they are missing.
I've tried so many distro back and forth and this is is by far the most stable, fast and elegant distro that you can find trust me
Can it games?
@@NekzLvL yes but oonly steam games unless youuse WINE
The kde distro 5.2 Aquarius is a absolutely beast, i tried no less the 10 other distro, this is by far the best, the most stable and lightweight had installed! Don't think people just install it and give it a shot!!! 👍👍
I was going to read it like CHAOS rather than Q-FOUR-O-S, but you know better than me because this is the first time I am hearing about Q4OS.
I can't unsee chaos now lmao
DT your tee is rad XD getting one from your store!
Nice, i'm installing Arch and i get some entertainment when i install it :)
love your vids DT :) - just showing the commands zoomed in on the CLI helps me learn so much :) - swap file partition, i hate it! - an ssd has only so many writes,so a tiny partition on it will be written to all the time,kinda worries me a little = right or wrong?
Hello DT, I find your review a little unfair as you miss to mention the initial ambition of the Q4OS team, which is to deliver a lightweight linux distribution that invites MS 9x- and XP-Windows users to emerge themselves into the linux world with only little hazzle and conversion pain, and that can run on pretty old hardware too. While TDE offered just that in the past, and so was the right choice to begin with, its succesor KDE plasma has meanwhile come a long way and can almost serve the same purposes, so switching the default desktop from one to other just makes perfect sense in my view. You still have both options to chose from. Second, the Q4OS welcome app is much more than a software manager or repository. It comes with a windows-like look-and-feel on purpose, and offers the newcomer a very easy and convenient way to chose and install a handfull of the most popular and useful applications that probably everybody wants to have on their PC. The selection the team made is really very good and if you don't want to use it, don't use it.
Fun fact about konqueror the webbrowser: this is the father of apples safari!
(The apple engineers really screwed the KDE 3.x community a couple of times. With konqueror they even found a way to turn OS software into something quasi proprietary.)
Could it be that the Install Applications on the greeter is for installing applications that you have a different sources than the Discover package manager?
Hey DT, what's your opinion of QubesOS?
bom video, será que vai ter um sobre o sistema Big Linux base Manjaro?
i got q4os installed but i have a small problem,i dont like any of the 3 start menu styles.
how do i install a custom startmenu?
Sir, can the labels/text on desktop icon been removed/disabled? (such as "My Computer", "Trash", etc). I am using 4.10 Gemini Trinity version.
Can you explain how to install exherbo distribution? Thank you DT
Hey DT it will be great if you have a look at the Task Switcher looks
Q4OS Plasma was one of my first Plasma experiences. Then there was Kubuntu, Neon, Xerolinux, Ubuntu Studio (Atcheeew!, sorry I have alergy to bloat) and few others. Q4OS was the fastest and smoothest of them all, whatever machine I ran it on. RAM, CPU, snappiness and speed of starting/running apps.
Concerning the proprietary bloat:
At first boot you should've been asked to choose the Profile of your application-set that you prefer (The Desktop Profiler). I dont remember the names of the profiles, but as I remember you had to choose one of three. 1-Unbloated, 2-Slightly-Bloated, 3-Bloated-quite-too-much.
If you do not like the bloat, just at the first boot choose the lightest option in Desktop Profiler. Which also allows you to remove all the bull when switching them..
Defending the Software Centre:
Q4OS is basically Debian, so it does not come with snaps, flatpaks and other modern pack-mans.
And Steam few years ago was not available easily as a one-command installation through apt/synaptic.
So Q4 Software Centre was a time and hassle saver, installing Steam with one click, which then you had to follow a long tutorial to install it.
And as far as I know, many other complicated apps available in Q4 Software Centre solved some apt problems back then.
Maybe now this might be unnecessary. But I remember how it made me install the steam when I did not know shit about how to use apt, snaps, flatpaks, and there was no one good steam apt package..
Q4OS is great, maybe because it is a debian that tries to give a little helping hand to users (It also has a from-windows-linux-installer). I also didnt have any significant issues when installing additional Desktop Environment (xfce for example), unlike on other some distros. I did not try out the pure Debian KDE Plasma edition, so if I will see that it does perform just as well as Q4OS I will move all my praise away to Debian KDE.
KDE Plasma is wonderful. I've been on XFCE for a while considering it had been my first desktop environment on Linux, and while I have a soft spot for XFCE, Plasma has a much better workflow.
I disagree with you about the workflow part, but other then that I wholeheartedly agree, they both are amazing Desktop Environments.
I completely agree. KDE is seriously amazing, in almost every way possible.
Q4OS/Trinity is wonderful - simple, elegant, stable and snappy as can be. Boots in like 15 seconds. The only thing I wish it offered is a simple start-menu organizer of some sort.
It really is great, especially for reviving older systems, as was said in the demonstration.
This message is being sent from a 2010 MacBook Pro running Q4. She does almost everything I need to do - and well I may add - stable as can be and lightning fast.
@@thomaseliason8376 I'm not too familiar with Mac PCs, but if it's from 2010, that sounds pretty impressive. I had an ASUS Eeebook running the Trinity 32-bit version of Q4OS. It ran even better than the 32-bit Windows 10 from what I noticed. I seem to remember what you mean about the lack of a simple start menu organizer. Still, very good lightweight distro.
From my experience that I've tried and used several dozens of Linux distribution I think Q4OS Trinity desktop environment is the best one I've ever used on my ten years old or more computer.Due to amazingly light and smooth feeling in browsing by Firefox and few freezing in this OS,I am gradually fading my interest away in new Linux distros installing except Arch Linux,which I hesitate to install due to seeming difficulty in using CUI.
about burning ISOs, do you know about Ventoy? it's amazing to have multiple live systems or installers on one USB Flash disk
Ventoy is truly is an amazing tool. My favorite feature is the ability to replace any ISO with a new version at will.
Nice advertisement
Yep, I definitely sign on that.
Ventoy totally rocks,you make a pendrive once,then drag any iso over to it at will - its great for testing any live distro (or for booting cloning,recovery tools) i have maybe 12 .iso`s on mine :)
Hey DT! Can you make a video about rolling release distro, the ones you think are better for desktop users, being the most stable and the easiest to maintain? Thanks in advance.
Just waiting for DTOS to release.
This is a pretty cool distro now that its updated to be based on Debian 11. This is the only distro I know of that offers Trinity Desktop, its interesting to look at and reminds me a lot of Windows XP
KDE 3 was the next natural step beyond xp, the way KDE should have continued instead of cloning vista and then tweaking off of that in my opinion...before plasma debacle my slackware + kde3 was all customized up with transparency and all the prettiness and gui configuration menus of modern guis, but none of the bloat and bugs of vista/plasma--could easily run on 196mb of ram and any ole 3d video accelerator...plasma has definitely cut down the bugs and improved on the system usage, kind of like win 7?
Q4OS is the most mature distro with a very stable trinity for about the last year+ (we use q4os 3+ trinity on all our desktops at home now, including my toddler)...but the two community versions of pclinuxos trinity are definitely worth a try for those who want something a little different
I would like to see you make a video about Taffybar with xmonad.
Waiting for DTOS 😴😴😴
this seems great for people like me who have new hardware but want wifi etc working otb on a debian system, without extra fluff... next to Neptune and maybe MX
I evaluated 3.12 Q4OS plasma version maybe as a option besides Kubuntu . I plan to see how it compares to Kubuntu 20.04. The software center is Q4OS software app ( its very limited) not KDE.
When I was evaluating 3.12 release I used discover more than software center or I would install synaptic. Discovery would not find applications I know existed. This still could be a alternative to Kubuntu. Though I have a few friends with older computers that run Linux Mint which 200MB less ram idle. one is a Lenovo 57m and the other is thinkpad T410 with s SSD.
@DistroTube Clementine hasn't had an update release in 5 years despite receiving git commits consistently. I would highly recommend Strawberry over Clementine until Clementine gets a binary update, or build Clementine from source yourself.
Thanks for bringing Strawberry to my attention! I used Clementine on my Mac a while back (since foobar2000 will never be ported) but, after a couple of builds from source since the discontinuance of releases, lost interest in it.
@@jorgicostava7217 Unlike Clementine, it doesn't offer podcast support.
Q4OS KDE 590M, Ubuntu 21.04 Gnome on my computer around 612M. And they say Gnome is heavy.
"Let's create a strong and complicated password" (only types two characters lol)
I'm a bit new to Linux, and have used Zorin and Ubuntu. I have a very underpowered tablet with an Atom processor 1.33 (boost to 1.86 GHz) with 2GB, would I be able to use this OS on the tablet?
yes. also look into bodhi Linux, I might have the same tablet as you and I use both of these operating systems on it with no issues. I have one of the Asus transformer books.
Hey, DT, I've loaded q40s and can't for the life of Me, put icons, computer, rubbish, home etc on desktop? done heaps of searches - can You Help??, Please
Right click desktop>Configure Desktop/Wallpaper. At the very top of the wallpaper list, there's a dropdown box that may say Desktop or Folder View. Make sure to put it to Folder View. This way yo can add any application icon to desktop by right clicking the app in the Start Menu. If you need the Trash bin there, add it as a Widget.
Q4OS Plasma should be on every list of "good distro if you're new to linux". Among Linux Lite, Kubuntu, deepin, Mint, Pop, and Zorin, Q4OS is my best newbie recommendation.
Yes, Q4OS is basically debian KDE....BUT:
It gives a helpful hand to new to Linux users, with the desktop profiler, the quick-install software centre, nice icon theme, and very small iso size.
It is basically a friendly improvement on Debian KDE for newbies.
(newbies get headaches and choice paralysis when trying to install and use debian)
I'd say it looks pretty good for us lazy old heads who have already gone through arch, slack, crux, gentoo, whatever ... I'm tired of messing with stuff xD
DistroTube Hey DT, could you review NomadBSD, a FreeBSD Distro, any time soon?
Yes i have Q4OS on a 32bit Laptop ... and tried the Q4OS 4.6 on another Laptop ... But coming from using Solus 4.3, KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 i think keep Q4OS for the 32bit and slower systems for now...
Q4os Gemini still has trinity desktop and also has KDE
I really like Solus Plasma, however, my Nvidia display graphics driver, and TV screen do not, lol instead of the blue screen of death in Windows, its the blank screen of death for Plasma.
I have a partition with Arch and KDE Plasma installed. I have concluded the Plasma is ultimately configurable and amazingly polished. BUT it doesn't require config files, which means menus everywhere. Its not meant for DT, bit Linux Scoop
4:42 What is a swap? and why is it so bad?
The password for the sudo command is the user's password not the adminstrator (root) password.
0:40 - 1:04 And that's basically the same reason GNOME 2 was forked to MATE.
Not bald gentleman to devote his life to kde.config. News on wednesday. How's it going Derkek ?
You can use neofetch to see ram usage and installed packages
But only for the moment you fired up neofetch. RAM usage is highly wavering so he uses htop. And the counter in neofetch measuring the installed apps on your system is not that fool proof either so that's why he sticks to that method shown in the video. He also taught you some simple bash scripting as well as some key principles in bash scripting (piping) subliminally.
@@Elhamidi0249 well thx for this useful info! Btw i love to make things easier but some times more effort=better results!
Were you from? Your name is in our country!
@@Elhamidi0249 you can use bashtop, which is better
GamerKing That's your decision. I just wanted to defend DT and explain why he uses tool X and not tool Y.
Discover. Count that crap out for me.
sudo requires the users password, not root password; su does that
Ubuntu could offer a pure Debian-version with the intent to help Linux-nerds build their own distro. All they would have to do not add all that Ubuntu stuff, but just updated software.
News, news. Debian 11 already not testing, aug 14 released and to be honest kde install of debian 11 much better experience for me instead of that distro
I'm no KDE guy. I think it's nonsense. The best flavor of kde I have run, it's Titan; Debian, of course
using trinity btw
Where can i find that wholesome T-Shirt?
I scan documents at least once a month.
the "gemini" triggered you in the first place, right?
Ah.. here we go with another new distro added to a bunch of already existing distros that does...uh.. does what? A bunch of pre-installed apps? Or..
Hey DT... Bedrock video when?
You keep calling it K4OS :D
To the audience out there, if you want to try out or review this distro, don't put it on youtube and review for you and not for your audience. This guy is one of the reasons why the market rejected the Linux desktop. And.....don't install it on a virtual machine for god sake.
Looks so 99

you should watch some british channels then
