> Although, still some annoying bugs, the most annoying being when I open an application on my 1440p screen, KDE often opens it on my second monitor for no real reason. This here is my most hated thing about KDE. I run it on Debian so my version is pretty old compared, has it been fixed in newer versions? I have been thinking about switching to Neon, but I don't care for the Ubuntu base verses vanilla Debian.

No it hasn't, it's very inconsistent though. Emacs and some other software does it everytime, although most seem well behaved. I'm on 5.20, probably not the latest version I'd have if I were on Arch though.

Neon is not that much better and doesn't fix a lot of the issues. I've found XFCE and cinnamon are the most stable/reliable DE's. I'm rocking Manjaro cinnamon right now.

  XFCE had some weird virtual desktop behaviour where when I opened an application from the tray, it would open in my current desktop and not the desktop that I'd placed it. Aside from that it was great, and there was probably some configuration option to stop that behaviour but I could not find it. Actually I quite enjoyed Cinnamon, I cannot even remember what things I disliked but I'd just saw the new release of KDE and those small niggles were enough of an excuse to switch back to KDE hah.

    I love KDE and think it is the best Linux desktop in terms of features and customization. Unfortunately it's just so damn buggy. Not in in unstable way, but there are just enumerable ways you can break it. It gets to the point that when you try something new that it has, you pause and think "Is this gonna break or stop working thus ruing my workflow again?" It's why I went back to cinnamon. I mean in the realms of the phrase "Fuck, marry, kill", I'd fuck KDE, marry cinnnamon, and kill MATE.
