Hello,
I installed KaOS for first time. I like KDE, so I wanted to try clean distribution focused on KDE desktop. I have to say I em impressed - KaOS is nice, clean and quick. But I also have a few problems.
First problem was with installation. I didn't have empty DVD, so I wanted to install it from USB. I run dd like manual sugested, but I was not sure whatever to use /dev/sdc or /dev/sdc1 as usb path. Finaly I figer out it was /dev/sdc. But first USB flash I used was not recognized by BIOS as available to run system, so I tried another USB flash (it was before used as multi boot with YUMI - maybe it helped). And even it is USB 3.0 the system was very slow. I almost wasn't able to run installation. Installation itself then took about 2 hours.
After installation, the system is quick.
On midna login screen texts are overlapping (maybe because I use Czech language and date and time are too long).
I was not able to find wine in repositories and then I find out that it is not included - OK I can live without it, but I used it to run winbox a lot.
I tried to open few .ods files I have and about 50% did not open in Calligra (it hangs while opening these files). So I installed libre office. And I also find one PDF that did not open in ocular (it hangs during opening).
Video files opens without problem. Audio (analog and HDMI) works like a charm. It was first time I tried SMPlayer and I like it. Youtube functions work great. I have only one small problem with subtitles in mkv container - VLC show characters of music note, SMplayer show gibberish - maybe wrong fonts or encoding.
I also like Qupzilla - it feels faster then standard firefox.
I used czech language as system language and some part are not translated (I did not check - but it seems to me that more parts then in kubuntu I regullary use).
I have a huge problem with PIM (kontact) - with its email part to be exact. I use this application very offen in kubuntu. I have IMAP server and also Owncloud server and I love how can KDE connect to anything. But under last KaOS I run into problem after adding IMAP server (Czech description of IMAP selection is broken - like it has wrong encoding). I also tried under new user - with email wizzard and also by manual configuring, but after adding IMAP I can see IMAP folders but no emails and then it hangs - if I close it, it still runs as a process and I have to kill it.
And also under system setting there is online accouts section - which has "Google, Live, Owncloud" in its title, but no owncloud is available after trying add new account.
