That's nice but Microsoft is a professional goal post mover.
They even have users arguing for that the operating system must make money somehow since it's free now. :)
Plasma needs a decent graphics card so that's probably why. You can disable a lot of the effects in the control panel though but it may not help.
I guess the fastest desktop is xfce otherwise, it's so fast that apps launches instantaneously. Reminds me of how fast computers can actually be without eye candy.
You can easily install and try it on arch to see if you like it. Good instructions in arch wiki as usual.
There are more users now, some are tired of the Linux recommendations in every thread.
They are wrong of course and should just switch. :)
Good work getting through arch installer, it can be tricky too. I've been on arch for like 10 years and still don't think anything else is better.
We do, but nerds don't find girlfriends easily ... :)

Yeah I've been gaming exclusively on Linux for many years now, but sure, a few games don't work. I'm OK with that since almost all actually do work.
Yeah this is all my company cared about. They trust that it will be disabled...
Mac is a lot easier to get started with, so absolutely. The downside is that people get pulled into the ecosystem of apple, with specific chargers, keyboards, adapters... Many of my friends use macs and they also start to buy iPhones and other apple gear.
Doesn't it say more about the users than Microsoft? Seems to me that people who don't care about computers will accept anything coming from big tech...
Yeah but I think most of us have already.... We are not many enough to matter though. Microsoft and Google will continue to do what they want with 99% of users.
It happens every time....tech companies are not worried what users think because users don't care enough to switch to Linux.
Yeah the idea is nice but not with Microsoft seeing the data.
