I run KDE on an old Intel NUK. It’s got 4GB RAM, 32GB SSD and a decade old i3. KDE still flies on that system.
The only time I’ve found KDE not feel responsive was in Kubuntu. I have no idea what is different about Kubuntu vs other Linux distros but the slowness in KDE on Ubuntu is down to Ubuntu and not KDE.
- doubled112 4y agoI've found that a barebones KDE is fast, but KDE with Akonadi and file indexing is resource intensive, especially until everything is indexed.
- bayindirh 4y agoWhen baloo finishes indexing its load on processor is practically zero. Akonadi is just a centralized account management framework which works on events coming from these accounts. Baloo uses a lot of RAM depending on what you index, but neither Akkonadi, nor baloo takes custody of the processor(s) and degrade system performance.
