 KD developers should watch this video, mandatory viewing for them. I am a KD developer. I watched the video. Sam messed up a lot. Hey everyone, welcome to a terrible experiment. As a Proud Mac user, I've done the unthinkable and installed Linux on my beautiful, beautiful little Apple computer. This is absolutely crazy. I was watching SamTime's channel way before I even knew what Linux was. And now I'm actually contributing to KD and SamTime is doing a video all about KD, which, you know, kind of features part of my work. So to me, part of my work being on that, it's just insane. That said, I've been told that SamTime did get a lot of things wrong with KD. So I don't know, let's just get started with it. So yes, I have installed not just Linux, but Arch Linux, which by the way is a mistake. Now, I do understand why SamTime did this, because obviously he has a MacBook and probably he is using Azahir Linux, if that's how it's pronounced, which means he has to use kind of Arch Linux. But that is not a good idea for somebody who's trying out Linux for the very first time, probably. And it is very likely that he's going to meet a lot of issues just because he's trying out something that's not meant for beginners. So let's just hope everything goes well. I'm just wrong, you know, by the way, which the people in the comments say is the most advanced, most greatest software in the world for experienced users. I don't use Arch Linux. I would never use Arch Linux. Don't use Arch Linux if you know what you're doing. And this is in fact installed on the bare metal of the computer. This isn't running in parallels. Yeah, that's a MacBook. He's running Azahir Linux. Something bad is going to happen. Believe me, I tried to install it as a virtual machine, but the Parallels tutorial on how to install Arch Linux basically gave up and said, look, just go on to the website. The Arch website is the most Linux website. I okay, you know what is the most Linux website out there? It's Ubuntu's because every every time I meet somebody who doesn't know what Linux is, and I said, oh, do you know what Linux is? They always go Linux now, but Ubuntu, Ubuntu I've heard of it. So, you know, if just you tell somebody go install Linux, they're gonna go on Ubuntu's website. Ubuntu websites kind of represents Linux, to be honest. So to say that Arch Linux website is the most Linux website out there, it's because you're getting yourself into a project that's meant for super experienced experienced users. It's meant to look like this. It's not Linux. Linux is not that complicated. He installed Plasma from scratch in Arch Linux. This is not gonna go well. I knew it. But made a little bit simpler. But even then, I was sweating my pants. By the way, I totally love his style of videos. Like, you cannot say anything to him. Just look at this frame. I mean, come on. Because it's had a pre boot thing going on. I almost pre booted my pants. Luckily, the Kitai helped us out and cracked Arch Linux right onto this computer. So follow along people at home, especially Linux users and tell me everything that I'm getting wrong. Oh, I'm going to do that. I am going to do that. So this is SDDM. It's not looking correctly because it's not defaulting to the bridge theme, which is something that works out of the box on any modern opera distro, not any modern, sorry, but any user friendly out of the box distro. But you know, you're doing everything from scratch and SDDM is not using the crack theme because you did not configure it properly. I don't know, but it should be looking much sexier. This is not how it's supposed to look. It's not a good first impression, you know. Apparently it's best to use the Wayland version of a session. Depends. Wayland was a bit of a tough guy to get along with. But he was living life on hard mode and so is using Arch Linux. Logging in. Was that a login sound? Did he had this in editing or what? Nice, clean desktop. Ha, he said ha, nah. And yes, you might notice that I am recording this with a separate camera back here because I don't want to risk igniting the atmosphere and blowing everything up like Oppenheimer trying to just screen record this business. So it's actually really easy. I'm doing it right now to do this video. It's just whatever. Let's open the Firefox web browser. So we've got it. That worked. A bit of a task bar down here, a bit of a Windows-esque vibe. With the classic semi-colon launcher. Semi-colon launcher. This is beautiful. Semi-colon launcher. I mean, that's what I'm going to call it from now on. The Plasma Logo is a semi-colon. Sure. Do I click start? I hit semi-colon. Why doesn't that work? Okay, fair enough. Now that said, he is a Mac user, which means that he doesn't have a Windows key. He has this command weird thingy that usually does not open the list of applications in Mac OS. If I recall correctly, maybe there's like application launcher, but who cares? So it's fair that it wouldn't like out of the book. But he's joking. He's joking. That said, yes, you just have to press the meta key, which is I think the weird Mac command thing. Okay, we get ads volume. Okay, now I did hear or more to the point I didn't hear that volume is apparently still a problem. You can't hear things with the internal speakers, which is... Yeah, that's probably due to some... I mean, you're running Linux on a MacBook. It's probably Apple Silicon, because he is using has a Linux, so it's Apple Silicon. I'm not surprised that some things don't work out of the box. If he were using some much more supported Windows laptop, then probably he wouldn't have any issue. But sure, technically speaking, the fact that there's no volume is on us. Very considerate Linux users. No one really wants to hear from them in general anyway, so they have it just being quiet in public. I'm a little mean to Linux. I love Linux, but I love you too. But it's a love hate relationship. Let me try some headphones. Okay, okay. So audio does work through headphones, just not with the speakers. I don't know why that can be figured out. As a Hellinx problem. This is currently running now with hardware acceleration. They've managed a backwards engineer to make that work, but I don't know how to enable any expose A, isn't a thing on Linux. I'm doing the gesture. That's okay. I'll do another gesture. Didn't understand that one either. Sorry, what? Make that work, but I don't know how to enable any expose A, isn't a thing on Linux. So he's trying to do some touchpad gesture, and he is on Willand, which means they should work. Based on the wallpaper that looks like Kiri Plasma 5.27, which does have gestures. I have no idea what's going wrong because it doesn't actually show his fingers. Now, I actually have no clue what's going on. Maybe he's doing something with four fingers, which should left and right. Probably that's gonna try to change between virtual desks. And out of the box, it does not have multiple virtual desks. So if he's doing left and right with four fingers, probably that's not gonna work because it just has one virtual desktop. However, four finger up is desktop grid, four finger down is the overview. You know, anything else should have worked. Doing the gesture. That's okay. I'll do another gesture. Didn't understand that one either. Okay, so the file explorer is called a dolphin. Beautiful, very responsive. Beautiful and very responsive. Are there any cool effects? Maybe command tab, control tab, option tab. Oh, cool. Interesting. I've never seen somebody so excited to have found the way to switch between applications through alt tab, but okay. I don't know how to make it look cool. What does it mean make it look cool? That's what every Linux guy says to himself. I don't know how to make myself look cool. Contact with a K. Oh, so it's a contact book. Here are my contacts. Yeah, it's not the best application to try out just after booting Linux. Probably it's not gonna give you an awesome impression. I'm sorry. I just don't like contact suit as a whole. Sorry. So I have no one. He's my calendar. Oh, now doesn't that look lovely? That doesn't scream nerd at all. Lift. It does. Let's be honest, it does. But if you try out Mercuro or, you know, calendar back then, which, you know, is the new kind of Kuri Gami suite with calendar task manager contacts and emails, that's going to look much sexier and much less for nerds because, you know, that's what we've been working on for the last, I mean, not me, but somebody else. Let's have a look at the app store. Discover. Look at here. Discover is currently cannot be used to install any apps. And you know what that is. You know why? Because it tried to use Arch Linux without actually setting up everything properly. So in this case, it's not discover's fault that is not able to actually see any application. It's his fault for choosing Arch Linux. But of course, the message doesn't quite transmit that. I think we did change the message. I mean, Nate changed the message after looking at this video to make sure that it really says it's your fault, not us. You configured this incorrectly. The app store can't be used to search for apps or install apps because Linux. Not because Linux, because you, because you, you should have used the boon too. Okay, thank you. Because none of its apps backends are available. Yes, because it did not set up any app back end on Arch Linux, because if you use Arch Linux, that's your responsibility. What are you doing with the apps backends? What dirty... What are you doing? When people say Arch Linux, by the way, do they mean some sort of innuendo, some sort of sexual maneuver? You can use Pac-Man to catch a little borage and run away from ghosts. To install the optional dependencies. Oh, this is just lovely. Here's the thing, Linux. I know I'm using the most complex of all Linux. Yeah, you are. But instead of a learn more button, why don't we program a fix it button? Yeah, because you're using Arch Linux. You are supposed to know how to fix this. Just like that. If you were using boon too, or anything else really, it would be working out of the box. Or better yet, just fix it in the first place. Or use a different distro that is meant for what you're trying to do. I can't press this. Why can't an app store open apps because I want to look at people's butts? Because you did not set a command. Apparently, there are apps here, like the fresh apps. I don't want to break things up. These are not actually apps. These are app store, decadie store for plugins, which means they are now looking at plugins and is thinking they are applications instead of plugins. This is not going to handle well either. I don't want to break things too much. I just need a writing app. Will that be under... Yeah, no, these are plugins. You're not going to find a... And you do have one already. Pages, graphics page, network status. No, pages is pages for like... What was it again? The manager? I don't remember actually. I want a KTurtle. Second degree equation solved. Yes, but it's a plugin for KTurtle. But those terms, they don't go together. So I have... I'm in the third year of a bachelor in mathematics. I could start talking about simple second degree equation solvers, but I'm not going to... Oh, a cursive fractal. Look at these dirty little penises the Linux people are doing. Okay, I'm already sad about this. Hopefully, it came pre-installed with some sort of writing app. Let's have a look. Yes, KT. KT or Libraphis, I don't know. Ghostwriter, what the heck? Oh, Ghostwriter. Great example. I didn't know we came with Ghostwriter out of the box. That is surprising. But I think he installed like everything from Kenny, just like that. I am the ghost in the machine. And I'm sad to be here. Male, I could go to Congress. I don't think I'd listen. You are? I want to have a document creator. Oh, what am I missing? Yes, this OS does need a little bit of development. Um, Kate, help me, Kate. Kate, Kate. I found Kate. Oh, let's learn, shall we? What can we learn? We can get our marbles back. I'm a little too late for one of mine. Okay, interesting. So this is like a Google Earth. Okay, the default size is probably something we should fix. It was made by Encarta95. Oh, whoa. Whoa, Montenegro. Is that politically correct to say? Well, how about that? It comes with Linux maps installed. Historical map. You can go back in time and look at it. Oh, that's actually really cool. I didn't know about that. Historical map. Ha, ha, ha. Cool. Did Australia... Ah, half of Australia didn't exist. Damn it. Bring it back. Bring back Australia. That is not an option. Games, yes. Oh, finally. He's the Pac-Man I needed to install... Yeah, the game section of Kitty isn't quite maintained, but this is not going to handle either. All games. Okay. Guys, should we make the game the size of an ant? All right, so let's... Yes, again, we should fix the default size of application. That's on us. I will admit it, that's on us. But again, we are not really maintaining a lot of those applications. Yeah. Find out how we install apps. It's said to use Pac-Man, but with terrible graphics. Ah, s***. There's Oppenheimer. We're going off the atmosphere. Delete. Cancel. Get out of here. All right, let's try Kagaldrunner. Play. Oh, why put this boring text box over everything? Come on, it's not fun. Oh, don't have multiple things. Just let me play the game. Oh, why do I have to get a law degree? Just to play the running game. Yes, those games aren't quite what I would use to showcase the powerful features of Kitty Plasma, but whatever. Press the key. That's actually pretty funny, though. It looks just like the old Microsoft Paint. Yeah, for enough it does. Look at this. Actually, let's just keep it at hell. That's where I feel like we are right now. Falcon Web Browser. Oh, Falcon is a free and open source web browser developed by KDE. Whoa. Wow, such a cool animal. It's such a boring application. Is it? Order. Let's see if we can record with the inbuilt microphone. Hello. Hello. Can you hear? Can you hear? Yeah, when you opened the audio app, it was clear that the microphone isn't working either. Again, probably because it's using a Mac and the support isn't quite there yet. What's so far? I'm incredibly impressed. Hulse audio volume control. That is too cool of a name for such a boring app. Whoa. Look, the silence makes a noise. No, no, no. Silence is... Ah, he's putting together things that shouldn't be put together. Cool. I don't think it understands how silence works. Info center. Welcome to the info center. We're using up two gigs doing something. I don't know. Energy. How do I get more energy? Oh, oh. Oh, I see why it's called the energy page. It's... Energy. How do I get more energy? Lol. That is actually a pretty funny bug, though. Lol. The energy page. It's pulsing with power. Look at that. You know, I really do admire him, though. He's able to just pull off jokes like the energy page. I can see why it's... You know, it's a good channel. Oh, dark mode. Okay. We do have that. It's looking cool. Workspace behavior. Well, is this telling the computer what to do or telling me what to do? No, no. It's telling the computer. The boring explanation of everything I've ever seen in my life. It makes me want to... You know, the system settings should be boring because they're supposed to... You know, just work. You just open them. You do what you're meant to do. It's... They're not supposed to be exciting. Probably, KDPLASMA settings are exciting for most people, but they are not supposed to. I think I might invert. Oh, I better not do that. That's all right. So I might die. This makes my head sad. Use the feedback. Disabled. They don't want to hear. They don't want to hear from you. That's a pretty good take. If it was enabled by default, though, Kiri would be dead. Of course, there's not one, but two. Calculator app. Yes, because you is told to calculate later applications. So I actually do not recognize the top most calculator apps. It almost looks like it's an Android application through Android based on the icon because there's also the clock. But the clock I do recognize. Maybe the calculator app is the new one for Plasma Mobile. Maybe. And Kcalc is the old one. But regardless, we should remember that you decided to install two calculators. You did the setup. You used Arch Linux. You decided what applications you wanted. And you decided to have a couple of applications because why not? Apps and a floppy drive. I'll tell you, I've never been more floppy. Take me to DOS. At least I think I know how to run DOS a little better. Okay. And that has been fun. Thanks for watching. Was it? My Linux adventure on Mac. And now I pray that I can get Mac OS back on this thing or else my career is over. Thanks for watching everyone. Me obviously. Just stop peeking and just stop. We're dodging the Nazis. Stop peeking and just. I click this button and it tells me off. It says, stop peeking. Hey, you're the one who wanted this. Okay, for enough. Oh, that's actually interesting from the comments. Audio will be enabled once it is guaranteed to work flawlessly. The speakers are one of the few components that you can actually physically damage if a bug causes the wrong signal to be sent to the speakers. If you crash your computer, that's one thing, but blowing out your speakers will mean that you have to get repeater done and we all know how bad Apple is with repeater. For enough, I can understand why the project decided not to support immediately out of the box the speakers. Yeah, but I gotta say almost the whole video can be summarized by this comment, which is tell me everything I'm doing wrong. You installed Linux. Everything else is just a logical consequence, which, yeah. But I do have to say it was pretty funny to go through and watch. I hope, I really hope, that he is not gonna make any more videos about Linux because this is not great advertisement. There are a couple of things that we could improve on. Some things were rightfully a bit confusing, such as, as I said, the default sizes. That wasn't perfect. And also, yeah, some applications are not as simple as it should be, but again, we are really working on it. It's something that takes time. And again, I do feel like contact is out of the box very overwhelming, but if you do need a much more simple and sexier version, then you can just use Mercuro or X Calendar. Those work great. Like, they're awesome, honestly. So we are improving a lot. This video does not showcase anything cool about Linux, even though, believe me, there's a lot of cool stuff. But, you know, what can I say? I love this comment. KD developers should watch this video, mandatory viewing for them. This exactly shows what new users experience is with most Linux desktops, but KD takes the cake with most not user-friendly desktop environment. I am a KD developer. I watched the video. It is mandatory with that. That said, that said, Sam messed up a lot. Honestly, I don't think this really shows how much better and more intuitive KD Plasma has been for years now. So, yeah, yeah. Let me actually reply to that. Thanks, everybody.
