Stable? Good? Bad? Annoying? Is it beginner friendly? Should I try KDE or Gnome?
I’ve only used Mint and SteamOS and from what I understand KDE should be similar to SteamOS Desktop mode because that is KDE based, right?
I don’t plan to distro hop any time soon, but I’m just curious if I ever get a new laptop I might try it to take advantage of it supposedly being descent at performance optimisation
You HAVE to use something KDE-based.
yeah KDE basically killed my tinkering interest cause it just works so well lol. wildly polished software it’s miles ahead of any other traditional GUI WM and bundles great software too
W-why
KDE is simple by default but includes many useful advanced features for when I need them.
Gnome on the other hand is over-simplified, lacking the useful features entirely.
As an example, my favourite KDE feature is that I can right click a zip file and “extract here and delete archive”. If there are multiple files in the zip, it makes sure it creates a folder to put them in, but never makes more layers of folders than necessary. Lots of little things like that really add up.
