Yes! KDE is the only thing in the Linux world that legitimately looks better than the big competitors. Not always, and not all the time; programs that are really focused on design are still a cut above, but I truly believe that KDE looks (and feels!) better than macOS
I don't understand why there aren't more folks like us shouting it from the rooftops. It's almost bizarre how good it looks.
I’m curious about which distros are working well with Plasma, as I had some trouble with stability in the past. I have the feeling Plasma works better with rolling release.
Plasma is the desktop-mode interface for the Steam Deck SteamOS, which is the only way I use it. I'm usually a Gnome person, as I'm one of the people Gnome just "clicks" for, despite all its issues, but I've been really enjoying using the Steam Deck as a mini computer and Plasma has been quite stable and solid for that. Did some minor customizing, and no issues at all so far!
I've been running two distros with Plasma: Bazzite OS and CachyOS. Both very different, and stellar with Plasma.
I use CachyOS in my ThinkPad and in my Framework Desktop, for work. A stellar OS, has great defaults, is very fast and prioritizes KDE although you can do other WMs too if you're adventurous.
Yeah, Gnome consolidates feature changes into major releases every six months, so it aligns well with fixed release distros like Ubuntu and Fedora that have release cycles that are aligned with Gnome's.
KDE drops a new point release with new features ~ every four months, and has a more flexible release schedule, so it is just to just get the changes when they are released.
I'm currently running KDE on NixOS unstable which is great, but if I weren't doing that I'd still be on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
This is rude. Don't talk to people like this. It's a self proclaimed simple tool to solve a simple, recurrent problem in my life. It also gives you a config file that lets you clone and link on any machine, pulls on sync, and puts the links in a consistent place. Nothing about it is complex or hard. But it's useful, and it's free.
Being dismissive like this doesn't make you look cool, it just makes you look like a dick.
That comment is hardly rude for HN, there are certainly no personal attacks such as yours which violate the guidelines. It may become rude to use Show HN for your Ai output, we will see.
Welcome to the pushback against the ai spam problem on HN, there will be false positives along the way back to balance
If you don't understand how the original comment and doubly so this comment are rude, then there's nothing I can do for you. Godspeed and best of luck with being angry on the internet.
Arch + KDE is pretty sweet. It looks gorgeous out of the box, and gives you a system that mostly just works but is still everything you love about Arch
You can't get perfection. The constraints / stakes are softer with what Mitchell is trying to solve i.e. it's not a big deal if one slips through. That being said, it's not hard to denounce the tree of folks rooted at the original bad actor.

Oops! Usually, I just post good stuff I find and the dupe detector catches it and does the thing where it redirects you to the existing post. Apologies!
