PSA: KDE is broken on Arch Linux. Even with a complete default

>using kde
just use windows

>something on arch is broken
STOP THE PRESSES

When you're at the point where you post PSAs on 4chan I think you've had a bit too much Linux

>>61670252
most things arent broken

>using a distro whose developers don't bother to make sane defaults in a stock install full of lennartware
Use Korora or Fedora.

>>61670278
>Fedora

at least they update the install images heck even ubuntu do that

>>61670207
Use GNOME.
GNOME is a DE from developers to developers.

Why does my GTK2 theme look like shit by default?

Why is everything so laggy?

>>61671791
How did you install KDE? What package?

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=228585

>>61670207
proof?

>>61671137
GNOME is a set of storage occupying packages from lennartfags to lennartfags.

>>61672275
well let's be fair, Arch is a distro that uses systemd, so the lennartcancer is already present

>>61671816
so?

If you're going to use arch why use full kde? Bits and pieces of everything (largely excluding gnome) is how I run my arch laptop (which has been my daily driver for a year)

Literally functions on my device. I installed the "plasma" group package, running the latest 5.10.4 version, nothing that even looks remotely close to your error. It's probably an issue of your hardware.

>>61674056
Interesting might try that

Just use Xfce with Compton. Looks good, is light, compatible and no screen tearing.

Quit being a bitch and trying to emulate Windows' UIs with Linux DEs.

>>61674230
>no screen tearing.
wayland

if you gon use compton might as well use lxde

>>61674263
Wayland isn't on Xfce, at least not Xubuntu 16.04.

KDE is fucking cancer. I was running it on Debian Stable and jesus christ it was a piece of shit. Laggy, constant pop ups from Kaccessibleapp, applications bar not updating. This was all on a fresh install. Avoid.

Sorry to say but you are wrong OP, I would really like some proof that you've even attempted to run KDE on Arch Linux before because you honestly know nothing.
Shilling Gnome isn't going to help you either.

I just want to have a nice distro (like arch with AUR or ubuntu with large community), but nooo, all distributions which are good are actually bad!
Is it possible to have something nice with Linux?

>>61674809
Void is not too bad.

>>61674809
Manjaro with Xfce

>>61674916

>>61674832
void would be OK if I could make it work with wifi only on my laptop. Have to download some packages to make wifi work, but can't because no internet...

>>61674809
Ubuntu inside the best OS of all time (Microsoft™ Windows® 10)

>>61674983

Havent even tried linux yet because of this shit

Arch+kde was looking appealing to me

How? Only 400mb with gnome 3?....

When I use Gnome 3 it takes around 800mb o 1gb idle.
While KDE only takes 400~450mb, based KDE.

But I still prefer Gnome 3, something in KDE does not feel right.

So... How did you make Gnome 3 uses less ram?

>>61675277
Enable autologin in Users if you don't switch users (you can still lock it if you need) else gdm runs another gnome-shell for the greeter. There's a bug about it, maybe they'll make it on demand but who knows when, still at least there's this workaround which saves some 100-200MB on my pc. It starts at 440 or something and goes to about 550 or 600 and may go down back to bellow 500 some time.

>>61675357
Well I enable autologin always... Any special distro? Debian, Ubuntu, Manjaro?

it's just arch

that 450 is kinda a unicorn but it still happens, mostly it's around 550 or something

>>61670207
That can't be true
I've been using KDE on arch since plasma got semi stable and it has been rock solid. I'm not even meming it hasn't crashed a single time in the 7 months that I've been using it.
Yes I frequently update arch. The single problem I've had in years was infinality dying. Thats it.

KDE is buggy in general, not many people on /g/ bother using it these days.

LXQT literally uses the same layout and theme without the bugginess, afterall.

Cool opinion bro. In my opinion fedora is fine because it "just works" out of the box on my old ass laptop wirh 512mb of ram. It even miraclously plays 720p anime without any problems. I will definitely try it again when i run into any problems on other computers.

Nice PSA, retard.

>>61670207

>Time to install Gnome?

If you want a desktop environment, yes, you should have done that from the start.

KDE is slow buggy shit which uses more harddisk space than Windows 10.

On the other hand are you sure you want a full DE ? A window manager is lean mean but will need some tweaking, also you will need to pick and chose your components to mirror the functionality you get 'out of the box' with a DE.

>>61683390
(You)

>>61675465
for:
>pacman -S gnome
all you need is:
adwaita-icon-theme
eog
gnome-control-center
gnome-keyring
gnome-session
gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-shell
gnome-shell-extensions
gnome-themes-standard
gvfs
mutter
nautilus
xdg-user-dirs-gtk

technically you can get rid of eye of gnome (eog) as well. it be very basic though but its a working foundation. gnome-extra is of course, just extra garbage like gedit. with above you'll pull in around ~450mb worth of packages. such as pulse audio. if you really want to use gnome i would advise installing a few packages and setting them up first beforehand like pulse audio and bluez.
