What's your opinion about KDE Plasma? Has it become the best DE available for Linux?

I like it because it has all the features I want, it's reasonably lightweight and the defaults are quite usable, so I don't have to customize it too much
Oliver Allen
I'd post a longer reply but KDE crashed

i was later asked how i managed to install "apple" on an ideapad. Guess im a computer wiz now

Been using it for a few weeks with Kubuntu 18.04. I like it a lot.
Tyler Allen
It's easily the most fully featured DE, it's pretty stable in recent versions, it's not dependent on GTK fuckery yet integrates GTK applications well and it's the only DE I can think of that makes their own themes that actually look nice.
So yeah, I'd say it's the best.
Justin Wright
Plasma is quite nice because it is not resource heavy at all (runs nice even on a shitty laptop with a single core celeron and 2GB of RAM) and absurdly customizable. The only instances of instability or crashing has been whenever making some sort of change to the D.E--this is rare but the D.E. may crash even the window manager or shell if you do some sort of interaction with the D.E. under extreme load (I had kwin crash on me when I changed to another virtual desktop under extreme load). I'd recommend it because the times instability rears its head isn't too often--I'd assume--for a desktop user.
Jace Davis
Too many settings. Needs a retardproof mode for newfags and grannies.
Brandon Carter
If you go with a DE, KDE is the best and the most sane choice. Xfce comes as a good second but I like Qt more than GTK. In addition, KDE even has more features than Xfce and it has a low memory consumption, too.
Levi Cruz
Somehow it has.
I wish it wasn't so bugged on Wayland, though. On AMD, X11 is noticably laggier than Wayland, especially when scrolling.
Jack Ross
3windows5me and I'm not a fan of the design. How's hidpi and wayland support nowadays?
Joseph Wright
hidpi is Good. Better than gtkbased on Nvidia on my 4k display.
Wayland on ayymd is fine but on Nvidia do not bother cause this fuckery with EGLStreams its not working at all. But its Wayland related problem on NVidias
Zachary Collins
became my favorite after unity died. i like it.
Jonathan Kelly
It's OK, been using Gnome 3 on Feodra since 20, and I thinks its improved a lot. I'm testing KDE on my laptop and it's fine, but I still think I like gnome because I know how to change to my liking.
Adam Sanchez
Ryder Jackson
DUH no shit.
Nothing beats KDE and i3.
Tyler Ward
they really need to solve the Nvidia issues
Nathaniel Kelly
KDE is a fucking mess of a project by autistic krauts that think adding new features is a substitute for improving existing ones. It may not be GNOME Shell, but being better than the eternal spic's Javascript abomination is not an achievement.
Carter Cook
yes
Liam Brown
This image is so funny because the camera doesn't even have a flash on it in the first place.
Bentley Torres
GNOME is way better
Nolan Ward
No, Nvidia needs to solve their issues.
Jeremiah Gonzalez
In what possible way is GNOME better?
Kevin Scott
I don't have any issues with nvidia and KDE.
John Richardson
I didn’t like how jank the bars were including the menu applet, or whatever they call it.
There are settings all over, but not settings that were useful to me. It required a ton of tweaking to use screen space efficiently and to look good.
