KDE has a ton of bugs that I don't like, but it's the DE that I always choose when using desktop Linux because it treats you like an adult. The ability to customize it is unparalleled unless you're building your own DE with a tiling window manager or something.

One killer feature is KDE Connect. Saves me from having to grab my phone when I need to copy an SMS OTP code. It's similar to Phone Link on Windows, minus the privacy violations.

> KDE has a ton of bugs that I don't like,

I have yet to use a desktop environment that doesn't come with annoying bugs. KDE offers so much utility and gets in my way so little, though, that fixing a couple of bugs myself has been very much worthwhile.

I guess that makes it not exactly free-as-in-beer in my case. Still a great value. :)

Absolutely agree on the KDE Connect part, but can you share a few examples of the "ton of" bugs you don't like? As a long time user myself, with nothing really coming to my mind as outright bugs, I am genuinely interested

One bug that comes to mind is when you edit your profile in Konsole and click Apply, then close Konsole, the setting is lost. But if you click Ok instead of Apply, the setting is saved. However, sometimes the setting is saved when you click Apply. I think this bug has been around for years now.

Nothing major, but there are small annoyances like this that diminish my experience as a user. Still the best DE anyway.
