I love the look and feel of elementary, but I'm always skeptical of trying new Linux DEs. I want them to work well, and they often do, but 4K and scaling support is very hit or miss with the ones I've used. I'm currently using Gnome and not impressed at all, just settling on it. Does anyone have experience with other DEs recently with this? Either KDE or Pantheon, or something else? I just want good 4K support and scaling that doesn't causes awful tearing or window bugs.
Do you need a DE? Linux is my daily driver for work and home. I've tried DEs and found them bloated and slow. I have been using i3-wm for years and loving it. You can always use picom compositor on top to mitigate visual glitches.
