Give an up-to-date KDE a shot.
- yoz-y 10y agoKDE certainly is powerful and the Kparts system is amazing. However, in the beauty category I would put it at the bottom of the bunch.
- dom0 10y agoSo, did you use a recent version?
- ccozan 10y agoI have to concur, the latest Fedora 25 with the KDE Plasma is a beauty to use. Put it on a new Thinkpad X1 Carbon, screen is amazing, fonts crystal clear, all very smooth.
- ufo 10y agoKDE Plasma 5 is gorgeous. I couldn't stand KDE4's "windows XP" look but now KDE is one of my favorite DEs.
- saghm 10y agoI used Plasma 5 for a while and really loved the interface and the ability to customize almost anything, but what got me in the end was trying to sync settings across multiple machines. From what I can tell, there are a bunch of random files with names starting with "k" dumped in ~/.config that store most of the settings, but copying them to different machines didn't seem to work. Of course, it's not much easier to sync settings with something like Gnome, but it takes me a lot less time and effort to set up Gnome with the exact settings I like than Plasma. If I didn't switch around machines/distros a lot, I probably would have stuck with Plasma though.
- bluedino 10y agoKDE was trash when Ubuntu first started and chose GNOME but I'm sure they are kicking themselves now.
