Thanks for the info. Still waiting on the restoration of my old atom machine to run this and we have hit technical problems so it will be a while so I am very interested in people's experiences.DeMus wrote:I just love it.
The first time, some years ago, when I saw KDE 5 I hated it. It looked so different than 4, was minimalistic, was flat.
But it grew on me and now I love it. I still use KDE 4 as main system but I have Mint 18 KDE, next to others, as VM's. Everything works, I had no crashes so far, it looks amazing: I am happy with it.
Maybe you do need a modern computer for it, I don't know if that makes any difference. My computer is pretty new and it can do the job very well. I guess soon I will make the jump and install KDE 18 as my main system.
I do have an Nvidia card so I'm kinda waiting till the drivers problem is solved.
You're still waiting for the restoration of your computer? Takes a mighty long time, doesn't it? Plus technical problems. May I aks what problems they are or is this private?Jedinovice wrote:Still waiting on the restoration of my old atom machine to run this and we have hit technical problems so it will be a while so I am very interested in people's experiences.
Far too busy to try something unknown on my main use machine right now!
Yes, it is taking a long time but that is being used as the basis of a computer. It will be a prototype of something not really done before.DeMus wrote:You're still waiting for the restoration of your computer? Takes a mighty long time, doesn't it? Plus technical problems.

I know living in Indonesia can be challenging, not everything is as normal there as it is in other countries.
Good luck and success with what you're doing.
To install this using the PPA method, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one:VIP Note Tip: Using the instructions from the link above, after installing each step, my Linux Mint KDE 18 desktop did not like the "lightDM" login manager and would not come up to the graphical desktop, so I recommend keeping the SDDM login manager for that instruction. If you have trouble bringing up your desktop after installing this, then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm", select "sddm", and reboot. You can also install the MDM display manager in Linux Mint 18 from the synaptic package manager which is what Linux Mint KDE 17.x used, just choose MDM when asked during install, reboot afterwards, and it shows up as "Login Window" under the Settings Menu instead of the System Settings Menu like before.
