    Everything that people try to convince me is good about it just feels so counter intuitive. It also looks like it should be touch friendly, but I tried it on steam deck and it just absolutely wasn’t. We have decades of touch interface design on phones and tablets yet somehow it’s worse than the flop tablets that came before ipad. But to each their own I suppose. Some people absolutely love it and it works for them. That’s a big part of open source computing, one can chose the desktop environment with the most unlikeable devs if it makes them happy.

    Anyway spin up a vm when you get a chance and try it. Try all of them if you can find the time. I find a lot of them kinda nostalgic and I really like tiling wm’s for feeling like a power nerd and making my computer completely unusable to my friends. Mostly I just use kde though.

      It’s actually touchpad-and-keyboard-friendly. IMO the perfect UI for a laptop, especially with a small screen.
      If you use a 27" monitor and a mouse, it makes absolutely no sense. Use KDE für that.
