Plasma 6.4 will automatically become the best DE whenever you read the title, but ceases to be so, whenever your eyes look at something different. It's the "quantum clickbait"-law of video (and news) titles. So, for the sake of quality assurance, please continue to read the title indefinitely, thank you.
Love this! 🤣
Agree. Set my wife up on EndeavorOS on her laptop, and every time I go in to do something I'm impressed.
I'm a tiling, terminal, minimal mouse guy, so it isn't for me, but what I've seen of KDE it's leaps and bounds better than Gnome. Some of the minimal DEs are good if you want lightweight; Cinnamon (or whatever Gnome-on-GTK3 is called) is good, and better than current Gnome, but not in the same league as KDE.
I quite like KDE whenever I've used it. But I've broken so many systems by fucking around a bit too much. So I'm on Pop OS which uses a themed Gnome DE. I keep hearing it's easy to install different a different DE, but how do you do it safely and still keep compatibility with your distros updates?
PopOS is Ubuntu LTS so it's only getting ancient KDE Plasma and no, not worth it.
Aside, yes it’s fairly easy, but you might need to change couple of settings regarding theming and then roll back to defaults to un-fuck some desktop theming.
Never understood KDE maxis
