Embrace the dark side with Plasma 5.12: simple by default, powerful when needed
|
Plasma 5, the new generation of KDE's desktop has been developed to make it smoother to use while retaining the familiar setup. The Plasma 5.12 LTS series is the default in this version of Kubuntu. |
KDE Applications 17.12.2
|
Kubuntu comes with KDE Applications 17.12.2 containing all your favorite apps from KDE. This is the 17.12.2 update with bugfixes and translation updates. Most applications have been ported to KDE Frameworks 5 but those which aren't should fit in seamlessly. |
Other highlights/notes
- VLC now replaces Dragonplayer as our default media player.
- Muon package manager is now shipped by default once again, as an alternative to Plasma Discover.
- KTorrent has been updated to the Qt5/KF5 version 5.1.
Cantata Qt5 music player replaces the unmaintained KDE4 based Amarok as our default for this beta. Please test this change. This is a Music Player Daemon frontend, so configuration & usage may be unfamiliar. Most users will want to select the 'basic single user setup' in the first run wizard.
- Telepathy instant messaging client has been dropped from our defaults as it is no longer maintained upstream, and it has numerous issues. This is still available in the archive to install.
- Many other updated applications, such as new versions of Krita, Kdevelop.....
