KDE Plasma 6.6 : still the best Linux desktop environment, in my opinion - The Linux Experiment

I gotta give plasma another try now that we're on 6.x, I keep hearing good things. I think I'll probably still be a gnome person but if kde was in a better place than last time I used it that'd be rad. I don't always love the way gnome is run as a project 😅
KDE is great. It's one of my favourite DEs. It used to be that KDE was VERY resource heavy, but it's leaner now.
I started with gnome, because I disliked the style of plasma, but with latest major change I made the switch, first I themed it to be macOS style (dock + top bar) but maintaining a themed desktop (especially missing icons) was a PITA, so now I just use endeavourOS plasma theme as it comes out of box 😂
Guess I got old
@Cris_Color @meldrik for me gnome is just... no.
Thats okay. I have generally found plasma aesthetically unpleasant and really unpolished in the past. My hope is that the graphical polish and jank have improved, even if the default styling isn't really to my taste. I do kinda expect UI theming beyond icons may still be somewhat jank, but at some point I'll try it out again and I'd be really excited to find out I'm wrong :)
Ultimately I'm glad there's stuff you can enjoy using. For me, gnome has been excellent in many ways (though certainly not perfect), I mostly just don't love how the project is run at times
I love KDE and it's great that they're adding more polish to it each time they update.
@meldrik
I don't know if KDE is the best desktop, but I have 6.3.6 and I'm happy with it.
