Installation af KDE neon

Om KDE neon

KDE neon er et sæt af arkivet til distribution af KDE. Det er også et sæt af disk-imagefiler, som indeholder en let installérbar version af Ubuntu med et minimalt sæt af programmer og et KDE Plasma-skrivebord samt et forudkonfigureret KDE neon-arkiv efter dit valg.

Hent neon

Neons hjemmeside er neon.kde.org. Gå til "Download KDE neon". Du vil se fire tilgængelige billeder: User, Developer Testing, Developer Unstable og Developer. Docker-billeder anbefales ikke til nye brugere.

Developer Unstable Edition er til de, der kan leve med mærkbare fejl og som bogstavelig talt ikke kan vente med at få de nyeste funktioner. Til Developer Testing Edition følger kun fejlrettelser til den seneste version af KDE. Forsøg på at rette fejl kan dog forårsage nye fejl. Den normale Developer Edition er til KDE-udviklere og har udviklingsbibliotekerne installeret på forhånd.

User Edition anbefales til almindelige brugere og også til de, der er overvældede af det forrige afsnit.

Installation

Når du har hentet billedfilen har du to muligheder: skriv den til USB med KDE/ROSA Image Writer eller brænd billedet til en DVD. Brug din sædvanlige DVD-brænder til at brænde et billede til en DVD. Hvis du ikke har et optisk drev eller hvis du synes at det er for langsomt, så download ROSA Image Writer og skriv billedet til et USB-drev. Genstart så din computer..

Information

If your system currently has Windows 8 or above, then search for "Advanced Startup" on the desktop. Navigate to the Advanced Startup Settings menu. Choose "Use a device," followed by whatever medium you wrote neon to.

You should be greeted with the Plasma desktop of KDE neon after a couple of loading screens. Click "Install neon User" and wait for the installer to appear. Follow the steps of the installer until Disk Setup. At this point, you are given a choice. Use the entire disk, or install alongside existing OSes? More advanced disk setup can use existing home folders and overwrite OSes; future versions of neon will make overwriting OSes easier.

If you haven't backed up your Windows files and/or you are unsure if all of your needed applications have equivalents for Linux-based systems, install alongside Windows. Otherwise, use the whole disk. This will begin the installation. Quickly but carefully, select your timezone and set user data. Then wait for the installer.

If you want, play around with KDE until you see the message that installation has finished. At that time, restart your computer by clicking the icon in the bottom left corner, then going to "Leave" and clicking "Reboot." If all goes well, you should see a menu with the options: "neon GNU/Linux," "Advanced options for neon GNU/Linux" and "System Setup." If you installed alongside Windows, you should see an option for it as well.

After installing

After installing, browse the software manager, Discover, and find any applications you need. Most likely these include an office suite, a finance manager, and an email client. We recommend installing either LibreOffice (unofficial, but works very well with KDE) or Calligra (developed by KDE) as an office suite. For an email client, there's KMail and Thunderbird. For a finance manager, KDE creates Skrooge and KMyMoney, but GNUCash is also available.
