Kde Updates?

I looked at the past Maui releases and noticed that they didn't come until the 3rd update of each Plasma release. So it was something like 5.8.3 then 5.9.3. So I really wasn't expecting an update until 5.10.3. Which for me I liked. It seems that after the 3rd Plasma revision things are mostly worked out and we will have a more stable release. So I am perfectly fine waiting for that .3 release. Besides, as I recall from the Plasma roadmap, the 3rd release is only about a month after the initial release. That seams like a reasonable time to wait to get the worse offending bugs fixed.

Fargo, that's an interesting observation and I fully agree. As I said in my op I'm very happy with 17.03, I was just curious about how updates work in a semi-rolling distro (it being a new experience for me).
Thanks to everyone for the input.

Fargo & Raydog, you both make an interesting point, & i generally agree. At the moment though i confess i'm itching to get 5.10.x asap coz, having played with the latest version of KDE Neon in one of my VMs, i really like the new functionality in the Task Manager bar to selectively group or ungroup with middle-click. This will be very handy for my workflow, i think.

B) Discover is a mess.I'm so glad Maui has MintUpdate! C) The Maui team rocks.

Oh yes indeedy, let me clarify myself & agree with you -- the Maui model is absolutely my cup of tea. From the moment i first read about Maui last year i knew that it sounded ideal for me... much better than Mint KDE with its unfathomable tethering to Kubuntu backports hence comparatively "ancient" Plasma versions with their bugs & missing functions, BUT also [for me] better than KDE Neon coz i am not so keen for bleeding edge that i want my OS to seriously break regularly. Having the Maui Devs curate the Plasma versions rather than just dump them willy-nilly on us is excellent. All i meant though, is that i really am rather keenly awaiting 5.10.x for the reason i said. :-)
PS: Quote:Discover is a mess.I'm so glad Maui has MintUpdate!Oh yesssssssssssssss. Strongly agree!!! |
