KDE is the ony alternative if you want a full fledged DE. Everything else is either amateurish (Cinnamon) or obsolete (Xfce).

funny you should say that, because KDE is amateurism incarnated

no joke what is gnome and unity?

Probably. I wish it had wayland support.

OP here. I think I'll try MATE. Any tweaks I should make to it out of the box? No wayland support either right?

>>62307015
The developer quit and gave the project to her beta orbiter, who then ignored it because it was ricer garbage and more functional WMs like fluxbox, sawfish, and awesome already existed.

>>62306680

This. It's because everyone else uses GTK or some meme library.
>>62306851
Try a good KDE bistro for a change. Seriously 99% of KDE issues come from bistro grill plebs not being able to configure it.
Except for Discover, but I still have to see a good graphical package installer for bistros.
My list goes like this:
Fedora - don't bother
SuSE - nah
Kubuntu - acceptable, but only atm, may change any second
Mageia - said to be THE KDE bistro but I fear low support
Plebian, Gentoo, Arch, GUIXSD - memes

Just switch to Sway once it stops being buggy.

Hopefully this isn't a thing. After a base netinst of Debian, `apt install kde-full` was enough. Not only installs Plasma but all standard upstream programs as well.

What features does XFCE lack that a fully featured DE does not?

The alt+f2 menu in xfce doesn't have the search system that krunner has, but I usually end up disabling most of that anyway. With a mechanical hard drive, krunner's search slows everything down a lot. The built in calculator and unit converter in krunner are also shit.

In all my time using XFCE since ditching KDE, it's never crashed on my and the only bugs I've noticed are very unusual edge cases. KDE would crash or use 100% of a single CPU core frequently. XFCE is also a lot faster.

When I tried to set my installation folder for steam, the menu was extremely slow, then after clicking ok on the menu, somehow it trapped my input preventing me from being able to even switch to a tty. I use i3 at work because I'm either in a terminal or web browser, but I'm not using it on my home desktop. This isn't the only problem I've run into while trying it.

Mate is pretty nice, I have been using it for 2 years now. Thinking about going to manjaro now

KDE is a shitty QT cinnamon, which is weird because I'm pretty sure cinnamon was aiming to be a shitty gtk KDE.

Say what you want, but I really love cinnamon.
Wouldn't trade it for anything
