Look! No ads!

Take back control. Choose Plasma.

Looks nice. Can you modify a lot of things?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's Linux, and KDE at that. Yes you can customize pretty much everything.

You can customize shit you didn't even know existed.

The amount that you can customize is actually insane.

If you tinker at all, you would be floored at why you didn't use it before.

It's also really easy to move from Windows to a KDE distro

I've been a Windows user for 30 years and switched to Fedora 40 (kde spin) 2 weeks ago. Can confirm the switch was easy. It's been a long time since I had that much fun with my computer.

To a genuinely disturbing and annoying degree.

The default customization is ~windows levels, but radical Linux desktops have some completely insane shit going on, customizing things you didnt even notice existing in truly weird ways. Anybody want to post some?

That was the thing that drew me toward KDE, super configurable. It seems like gnome tries to hide advanced stuff for users or just not offer it. That and it's beautiful and full-featured.

That sounds great. I had to use several apps to modify gnome into something that works for me. I don't want to change my workflow just because a UI designer came up with something new.
