Maybe join us Plasma users in the dark side. Honestly, it's pretty sweet and you can configure it to look and behave just the way you want it.

- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoYeah, I’m really glad the KDE world seems to have recovered from the KDE4 disaster. However, the Linux desktop ecosystem largely feels like it’s just sort of rotting: I really like KMail, for example, but it had a bunch of show-stopper bugs last time I used it.
- dguaraglia 6y agoYeah... the desktop environment itself is pretty nice, but a lot of the apps built around it are either abandonware or just plain low quality. At least nowadays GTK applications don't look completely out of place so even using all kinds of disparate programs (Thunderbird, Goland, Slack, Chrome, etc.) results in a pleasantly consistent experience.
- type0 6y agoI do like that everything is configurable but it can be a huge timesink when trying to tweak everything.
- dguaraglia 6y agoAgreed. That's why I settled with using the standard theme (Breeze) with some minor panel changes to make the system work a bit like macOS: global menu on top, small self-hiding dock at the bottom. The whole thing took maybe a couple hours of experimentation two years ago, and I've since been running with the same configuration.
