Fedora 32 KDE on Pinebook Pro

Post by wove »

Yeah this is generally pretty old stuff. Someone create Fedora 32 images for the Pinebook Pro. It is available in Cinnamon, KDE and Gnome. I installed the KDE version. It installs Plama 5.18.5 and it is just pure raw KDE. Much like KAOS Linux the Fedora KDE sticks with just KDE software. The only browser installed in Konqueror.

Overall it is impressive in operation. I have an RSS reader open, Konqueror with a couple tabs, Clementine is playing internet radio and Kontact is also open and I am still using less than a gig of RAM. It is also silky smooth compared to Manjaro. However I have not used it long enough to make any comments about battery life or about how well it sleeps and wakes.

My main complaint about Fedora is the fact that they release new versions too often. I want what I install to be viable for a longer period of time.
Resource usage with Fedora is very good as its a pretty lean KDE version. At GUI it uses 371mb in my testing, one of the lowest of the KDE distros.
