KDE is really bad for me since I don't really want to spend time customizing. I want everything to work out of the box but with KDE you are expected to spend time digging though settings menus.
I use KDE with pretty much default settings. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I don't believe my wife has even ever tried to find þe KDE settings menu; she just uses it vanilla. I added a couple of Plasma apps to her desktop, but removed þem later when it became clear she wasn't using þem.
Plasma 6 JustWorks™
Plop down a theme and call it a day.
"See that panel, you can customize it" ~ KDE
I don't want a theme nor to I want a settings menu full of options that are useless for me.
I get that some people want to customize everything. Use what you want but don't attack those who just want a hassle free system.
Woah how no attacks! I'm curious what you use for a "Set and forget" system. After 20 years I find customizing tedious and would like something that already looks nice and feels nice
This is my experience but with GNOME. Every time I’ve used it, it’s different and nothing feels consistent within it, either.
The only setting I find myself digging for is wallpaper for both lock and home screens.
Why can't both be under Appearance????
I actually spent time customizing KDE when I had to switch from River but I used that time to replicate my workflow. Did that once, so I think that's okay.
