I’m currently testing Fedora KDE on a VM (windows host) before eventually switching over to Linux completely.
Xmonad!!! (And in 25 years, Waymonad!)
Plasma definitely. Xfce is second.
Any preferences on the distro? I’ve been enjoying Fedora but I’ve also tested Ubuntu and enjoyed that
You should try Arch btw
Fedora Plasma is truly awesome!
KDE
Gnome
Hyprland
Honestly, this is the first I’ve heard of Hyprland, but it looks sick.
Personally I’ve been on KDE for a few years, I love the way I can customize my workflow, from the default apps to the panels layout. The KDE team has made fantastic progress since I’ve started using it, and it’s now very stable and feature rich. I’m very excited for the upcoming Plasma 6
And as a reminder to everybody, please donate if you can, no matter what software you use. Especially if you’ve been using that DE for a while. Open source projects like these are always in need of funding!
Every time I hear this, I’m tempted to try KDE again, but every time I do, I run into stability issues.
I really like the customizability, particularly being able to set up the workflow you want. But then I hit stability issues and that just kills it for me - pun only somewhat intentional.
I guess it’s a hit or miss depending on the hardware. I’ve never had a single stability issue with plasma ever since I started using it
I doubt it’s a hardware issue. That said, fair enough re: experiences may vary.
Gnome. Feels most polished and least cluttered to me.
Gnome, KDE is also nice but the default doesn’t function in a way that makes sense to my brain anymore after using gnome
