Trying Plasma for a bit to see how green the grass is as a longtime Gnome user. The last time I ran Plasma on my main desktop was version 5.11, I think? It’s been a while…

    Plasma isn’t as visually polished as Cinnamon. Go ahead and get your clock and CPU temp widgets in the system tray the same font size and positioning.

    KDE feels a bit more cluttered because…I’ve said this before, KDE gives you every option under the sun, GNOME software isn’t designed to do anything unless you add extensions to enable features, and Cinnamon is somewhere in the happy middle.

      I’m pretty sure you can get Plasma to look and behave nearly identical to Cinnamon if you wanted.

        I recently tried to do this because Cinnamon was pissing me off

        I gave up after ~6 hours over 3 days, Plasma Amish a beast

        Linux Mint 22.1 just came out with a new high DPI theme and some theme reworking and now my issues are fixed thank fuck
