Hi all,
Before I write the steps I want to give leszek a big shoutout and thanks for all that you've done for the Maui community. leszek doesn't know who I am but I know who he is due to seeing him all over the place in the linux community. I was a longtime user of his ZevenOS BEos lookalike (MAGI2, Encode, Deskbar, etc...brings back good memories) and every project that I took an interest in as a user if I saw him there I knew that the project was good to go.
As with all of us, things change...what we want to do, what our interests are, they evolve. It could very well be that his boss simply stated, "no more Maui". As it stands, Maui is what it is and won't be developed further. While it bums me out, it is what it is and there's no use getting worked up over it.
Earlier today I did a few steps to change to Neon and after upgrading I'm now running Plasma 5.13.2 along with other numerous upgrades. It's actually quite simple and didn't bork my system. Everything still looks like Maui.
In a terminal:
$ wget -qO - 'http://archive.neon.kde.org/public.key' | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-add-repository http://archive.neon.kde.org/user
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
That's it...I also did apt -f install just to make sure. Once I rebooted I was back to my beloved Maui desktop.
MfG,
Desmo
Yes, yes, yes.
Your instructions worked nicely. I confess I was worried about borking my machine but (so far) everything is working.
Thanks, Desmo74.
