KDE neon is the official operating system of the modern and powerful KDE Slimbook laptop. This OS looks very beautiful and cool. It is very stable, based on Ubuntu LTS, and --the most important thing is-- it brings the latest KDE Plasma and Applications directly from The KDE Project itself. KDE neon is a perfect OS for everyone to use the best free software technology for computing as well as to know KDE. For software engineer, KDE neon is the best showcase of software built with Qt Framework. This is my first review of KDE neon based on version 5.13.5 from September 2018. I hope you will like it. Enjoy!

Lately, I cannot add nor remove bookmarks on file chooser dialog on KDE neon 5.11 GNU/Linux. This problem is annoying as I must manually navigate to deep directories each time. If I add one bookmark, new window won't show it; if I delete one, new window will still show the deleted one. In case you don't know, file chooser dialog shows whenever we click "Open File" or "Upload/Download" button while browsing the net. In short, I find out this is because wrong permission on a certain file of GTK2 in my $HOME directory. To fix this:

1) Find this directory: ~/.local/share/gtk-3.0/
2) Delete the file named bookmarks there
3) Now browse the net and try to open the file chooser dialog and try to add/remove bookmarks

Big thanks to Matthias Clasen (one of the respected developers of GNOME and GTK+ itself) for pointing out the clue at GitHub!

KIM (KDE Image Menu) is a third party plugin for KDE to add context menu (the right-click) able to do convert and resize to image file. KIM is very useful because it adds those convert and resize options into the right-click in Dolphin when you browse image files. It can do those manipulations to both every single image and many images simultaneously. Just click and done. This article introduce how to install KIM in KDE 5 because it needs special treatment compared to KDE 4. KIM is free software and licensed as GNU GPL 2.
