5 was a bit rough at the start, but really was pretty nice by the time 6 came around.

6 has been great. If you are a windows or mac user, it's very close to that experience and very familiar.

What I really like right now with 6 is the updates: you kind of don't even notice. Things just work better and faster. Your system works the same as yesterday, updates are not a biggie at all.

Can't say the same of Windows or Mac OS.

I love reading "This week in KDE" on KDE's blog, it's just a cool list of small incremental imrpovements each week, along with credit to MR authors.

I really enjoy that it showcases all the work that goes into making a desktop actually good, even the small things you bearly notice, things like "When a grouped Task Manager task is flashing to get your attention, opening its group popup now reveals which specific window wanted attention. (Christoph Wolk, plasma-desktop MR #4225)"

A change doesn't need to be big and flashy and make headlines, even small changes deserve to be showcased and credited

Oh for sure. Putting KDE linux on some old hardware and it feels like a brand new computer. Updating from windows 8->10->11 on the other hand was always punishing.

It's crazy how slow and bloated windows has become over the years.
