Trying Plasma for a bit to see how green the grass is as a longtime Gnome user. The last time I ran Plasma on my main desktop was version 5.11, I think? It's been a while...

How is it??

I last used it a little while back but there were some issues with polish. I'd like to come back and check it out again now that there's been a major update if I remember right

I love the GNOME user experience and apps (I know many don't, that's fine) but don't so much love the way GNOME as a project often struggles to play nicely with others 😅

How is it? Well it feels like an environment where developers actually care about users. I love it.

i hadn't used kde (on my own systems) in over twenty years. i downloaded a bunch of ISOs over the last month or so, mainly looking to see what installs easiest and runs best on some old systems here. among them were several with plasma 6.

one of those kinda 'stuck' in my head and i had to go back through several until i 'found' it again. been messing around with it now for a couple weeks trying to figure out what i'd want for a 'working' setup. might just end up switching one of my 'working' desktops over.

its very customizable, not just in appearance.

Just looks like windows to me […]

That's because Windows copied KDE Plasma, obviously. /j

I last tried KDE when it was KDE3. Then Gnome, xfce, and finally settling on i3/sway

But I got given an old Windows tablet so decided I’d see what is usable as a tablet and I was pleasantly surprised by KDE.

So much so, I’ve ostree-rebased all my machines to it.

The tiling could be better (and it sounds like it was, then wasn’t?), but it’s passable. And simple stuff actually seems to work. Unlike the gnome+sway kludge I have now.
