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
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.
