    I recently learned about Sysrq + f to kill running processes making the computer hang. Before finding about this I had to manually restart the PC via power button. I wonder if KDE should make it easier to enable this feature considering they have something to kill processes already but it’s less powerful than Sysrq.

        I like cinnamon, but any DE that doesn’t support Wayland these days is just shooting itself in the foot. Evolve or fade away, stop hanging onto x11.

      Plasma is the best for me also. Ever since GNOME 3 went “convergence,” I’ve been looking for a traditional desktop experience. Xfce, cinnamon, and budgie all have good things going for them. I choose to use KDE because I love the customizability of the desktop and the settings menu is easy to use. The theming is also very nice on KDE.

      Default gnome has a great keyboard based workflow or the option for a pointer-device based workflow. It doesn’t copy the outdated windows workflow and actually succeeds in pushing its own ideas.

    Kde is so bloat there’s no chance gamers with optimization in mind will choose it.

      I’ve been using it for a long time. I’ve personally found that there is essentially no impact on gaming performance–or if there is, it’s so slight that it’s totally negligible on midrange hardware, especially with feral gamemode. It might be more impactful on low spec PCs, I would assume, but I’m not sure of that. In my case, it’s plenty lightweight and offers lots of customizability.

        Can confirm. Used it early on (around Suse 7.3) and it took ages to compile and was bloated and buggy as heck. I switched to WindowMaker and never really looked back. Recently gave it a whirl on steamdeck and was pretty shocked at how polished and nice it is. If you haven’t given it a fair shake recently, you might be surprised.
