I'm a plasma user and I would also prefer a fullscreen start menu. Ideally a fullscreen krunner with all its amazing bells and whistles.
We each have to make the compromise that suits us best. I doubt most people think one desktop or another is perfect.
You can change out the Windows-style start menu on Plasma for the "Application Launcher" button which will be a fullscreen app launcher like in GNOME. Or are you wanting something different?
I also prefer a larger app launcher. Like why should it be small, how is that actually better for usability? Why have it cramped in the bottom left, what's that all about?
It seems to me that people do it that way because that's how they're used to it ever since Win95. Not because it's actually better. But idk.
Thank you! I wasn't aware of Plasma Drawer.
I love the design, but it seems in my machine there are zero animations (not even a fade in when opening it) is this intentional or something wrong with my setup? Not a deal breaker, but a bit jarring with how smooth the rest of the desktop is.
