A new version of the KDE neon live image based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has been released.
KDE neon is our installable Linux with continuous integration and deployment. It’s based on Ubuntu who had a new Long Term Support Release recently so we’ve rebased it on Ubuntu 20.04 now.You should see a popup on your install in the next day or so. It’ll ask you to make sure your system is up to date then it’ll upgrade the base to 20.04 which takes a while to download and then another while to install.
Afterwards it should look just the same because it’s the same wonderful Plasma desktop.
The installable ISOs are also updated and this time they all use the Calamares installer.
Testing and Unstable edition, these are built from the soon-to-be-released Git branches and the untested Git branches. Alas trying the installable ISOs today we found some bugs in the Git Calamares installer so they’re not published yet but the upgrader will still popup on existing installs. Update these are up now
We implemented OEM install mode in Calamares so the other way to get neon is to buy a KDE Slimbook III and it’ll use that.
We also implemented a full disk encryption tickbox in Calamares.
The Docker images are still to be updated and the Snap packages also need moved over.
