- | For this review, I choose to check out KDE Neon. The first Linux DE I ever used was a KDE DE, in Knoppix Linux. That live CD included KDE 3.x, and it didn’t really impress me. Within weeks, I jumped ship to Ubuntu [Dapper Drake, so you can do the math to figure out how long ago that was, lol] which ran Gnome 2.x at the time. | + | **For this review, I choose to check out KDE Neon.

+ | **I was impressed at the low low low cpu and ram usage. During my testing, I kept top open [less resources than the gui system monitor] to keep an eye on things. Considering KDE has, in the past, had a rep of being “resource hungry”, it seemed to be just the opposite to me. I know that when I tested pop_os, which runs Gnome-3 as its default DE, it used measurably more ram and cpu cycles than KDE did. I can only imagine how snappy it would be if I had it installed, even with my measly 4 gigs of ram… So, no longer can I suggest steering clear of KDE if you have limited resources on your machine. Then again, I wouldn’t go so far as to suggest it on “older” hardware, like stuff built to run Windows XP or earlier. [My laptop is a Windows 7 era machine].** | ||

+ | **While I know that having the ability to tweak everything may scare off some noobs, however, in my opinion, that ability is one reason Linux is so good! Windows and Apple/Mac severely restrict what can be changed, Linux on the other hand, in theory, encourages you to experiment. KDE excels at that idea. ** | ||

+ | **The settings program is well laid out. The flow makes sense. The options are clearly stated. There are very few complaints from me on this front. One thing, though, I didn’t care for the wallpaper changer. It honestly took me a few tries to figure out how to change the wallpaper properly – I didn’t notice the watermark type icons for ‘folder’ and ‘delete’ over the preview of the selected wallpaper. Maybe those options should be below the image, or brighter. I also didn’t like the lack of choice for how to set the wallpaper. In many DE’s, you can change aspect ratios of the image to match the screen IN the wallpaper choice. Granted you can open a photo editor, like GIMP, and do it; I feel there should be the capability built into the chooser. I also didn’t like the lack of “explanation” of the difference[s] between “folder” and “desktop” choices in the same menu. ‘Folder’ seems to make an allowance to have, well, folders, on the desktop, whereas ‘desktop’ seems to not allow that… so that’s what I used as I like a clean desktop! | ||
