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

  • DE is just personal preference, you can’t really go that wrong with any of the popular ones plus you can easily change it later without a reinstall.

    If you like the look and feel of mint then you can just use cinnamon on cachy.

    I’d recommend KDE to most people.

    I’m using cachy on my daily driver/gaming rig. Personally I like to use debian LTS on my other devices because I use them intermittently and don’t want to worry about keeping them up to date.
