From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've used both and completely agree.
i used fvwm for some 20 years. but when I switched to Wayland, I had to change window managers. I tried gnome first because it was the default on more distributions. works great as long as u use it as is . any customization is hard and needs gnome tweaks or some other extension...
kde plasma was just as light weight and completely configurable
Can you even disable the alt-tab popup on KDE Plasma?
I know there are different task switchers and you can download custom ones. But not sure if there is a way to just cycle windows with alt-tab directly instead getting a task switcher.
You can uncheck this checkbox:
I love KDE.
They're not afraid to add settings, unlike the gnome team.
Yeah. It's KDE, there's a setting for that.
