Same experience here. I was getting fed up with every new gnome release taking away more features and at the same time was missing the niceties of macOS. Decided to give plasma a try and it quickly turn into my daily driver. No need for gnome tweaks, or even confit files, right-click whatever I want to change and there’s a setting to change it!



And here! I switched from Mac to a Framework with Ubuntu/GNOME six months ago. Switched to Fedora/KDE Plasma this week and it's been so much better--everything is so much more discoverable.

That said, Dolphin just got a bug where it crashes during thumbnail generation, and I'm seeing artifacts in Wayland with fractional scaling, but the KDE bug system is very visible and easy to navigate, so that I'm pretty confident these will be fixed soon. (I did know what I was getting into when I left Apple for the Wild West.)


PCManFM-Qt is highly recommended. Looks and feels right at home in Plasma and is a little less quirky than Dolphin.


I've been using X11 and everything has been flawless.


As far as I can tell there's no way to get proper pinch-to-zoom in Xorg, so I'm going with Wayland for now.

It is totally insane that this is a thing for a user to think about.
