I want to like kde, I really do. I've tried running it on my main beefy PC for a few years now and it's always so much slower (like UX of random things like opening windows and moving things around). On vm's it's just horrible and has known issues

I recently gave up on kde and went back to Ubuntu/gnome and damn it's nice

Just to stress how much I want to like kde, I've contributed quite a bit to kde open source apps.

The polish of kde vs gnome is noticeably missing but the performance is what kills me the most. I've tried it on multiple devices and I was determined to make it work but after years I'm going away for it for a few years
