    I switched from Pop_OS! to KDE Neon because I wanted to try out the latest Plasma features and was tired of GNOME’s bloat and needing an extension/Tweaks for basic functionality.

    Then KDE broke screen sharing, bricked my install once by breaking LUKS disk encryption, and then it booted to a black screen on updating to the latest LTS…

    So now I’m on Mint and all of my servers are on Debian because I want something that just works. Lol. No more distro hopping.

      How did KDE break your LUKS…? I find that hard to imagine

      Also KDE Neon is a test distro (they don’t call it that from what I remember) for those who want to try out newest KDE lol

      im a mint user too and every few months i start distrohopping but always land back in mint. all other distros always have something that doesn’t work or is just irritating. but mint feels like home.

        If Mint ever supported KDE plasma 6.2 I’d consider switching back to Mint. I just can’t stand how Cinnamon doesn’t give a crap about multi display users and gives them a “There. Good enough. Fuck you.” solution.

          i read that mint used to have a kde option too but they discontinued that to reduce workload. didn’t know multi monitor setups were a problem for cinnamon though. does it work at all or lacks controls or something? are xfce and mate equally bad?
