With that in mind, I LOVE how lean and fast some FOSS apps/projects are. One of my motivations to go searching for FOSS alternatives is when something seems slow for no reason.

I remeber using plasma on a weak 2016 160 usd laptop with no issue in 2018, I can only imagine how much better is now

lol my laptop is from 2012, i run gnome and kde easily. windows usually needs a round of debloating every update to be usable.
