Just fell in love with 3.8 Centaurus

Hi forum,

I have tried Q4OS already a couple of times once in a while in the past, and was never fully happy with your Plasma flavor.

But I think with 3.8 you guys have hit the middle. I dunno why, but EVERYTHING JUST WORKS!!! Whatever I throw at it, it just works like a charm!

NVIDIA drivers
xsane scanner with my Epson Perfection V30
radiotray
variety
krusader - even pre-installed!!!
VirtualBox 6.0.12
pinta
spotify (snap!!!)
Samsung Express M2675FN (over LAN!!!): printing AND scanning!!!
Canon iP7250 (over WiFi!!!)
timeshift
wine
playonlinux

I just can't believe it... better than KDE neon, KaOS and some other distros with a KDE Plasma desktop I have tried recently. Not to speak about solus... (sorry)

WELL DONE!!! KEEP GOING!!!

YEAH!

Not to forget:
Watch TV with kaffeine and my DVBSKy S950 DVB-S/S2 PCIe card!!!
Nice installer, integrating nicely with my multi-boot system...

Re: Just fell in love with 3.8 Centaurus

Hi all.

Firstly, how do I know I'm running 3.8? Neofetch & Screenfetch just say Debian 10 Buster.

Anyway, I'm brand new here and felt I needed to agree with the OP's statement. I was on the hunt for a KDE DE as close to Debian as I could find but more newbie friendly. Strangely enough I saw a recommendation for Q4OS on the Mint forums and after trying it out am well impressed.

The installer was a breeze. The Desktop Profiler is a stroke of genius. The Excalibur menu works right off the bat. And you've even got the Oxygen theme in the repos!

Looks like I might be here to stay :-)

@Dai_trying,

I was also wondering which version Q4OS.
Thank you very much.

The KDE version is excellent and for me preferable to actually using Debian 10 given some of the added features included.

Re: Just fell in love with 3.8 Centaurus

Could I confirm how to access Spotify with 3.8 Centaurus? I usually need to download Spotify music and songs as local files with the help of AudFree Spotify Music Converter. It's a little complicated. Please let me how to use the Spotify app directly?

Use the "qrepoadd" command to add Spotify repository, and then install "spotify-client-qt" package, see https://www.q4os.org/dqa007.html#extrepo
