I run windows 11 on my t430s, and it works just fine. i7 3520M, 32GB ram and a modded 1440p display.
Sure, I don't use KDE on my actual Linux system, frankly if you want a taskbar and start menu that bad then run windows.

why does valve, a billion dollar company, use KDE on their SteamOS? Surely they would know if it's stable enough to be used on handhelds sold to millions of people.

No beef? You've been politely asked countless times to post beef over the past week; that's more than enough time to procure some beef. The lack of any beef being posted on your part is an admission of being Indian.

>>105986451

No, it would suggest one doesn't have access to antipsychotics, in much the same way you don't have access to beef due to being an Indian.

Hm... I tested Debian GNOME online via distrosea yesterday and I expected to have difficulties. But the only difficulties I had were windows not minimizing and DistroSea suddenly disconnecting.

>>105986310
it docks when you tile windows at the bottom or maximize a window.
I think this is default kde behaviour but I'm no expert on kde so could be some custom thing cachy is doing

No, they created it to eek out every bit of performance possible in game mode. This is possible when you can limit scope.

GNOME is actually good. KDE is literal dogshit. I don't understand why people don't see this.

can someone explain this beef posting bullshit? are KDE trannies mentally mind broken or something?

And now I'm testing Tumbleweed with GNOME. No problems, except for perhaps the fact I can't maximize windows, only resizing. It's mostly a matter of time to adapt, I guess, since it's weird.

>>105986358
I admit i've not bothered to check kde in years but i'm pretty sure you just need to disable a couple of services for having kde running well enough on old machines, lxqt runs kwin afterall.

>>105986534

double click the window to maximize, or install gnome-tweaks and add the buttons back

Works on my machine (Debian 12, KDE on x11 session)

LXQT uses openbox bro

Discover is probably the worst part of the whole KDE suite.

Ah, thanks. I even forgot I can do this in KDE and Windows as well, sorry for being a boomer, I'm taking my time to adapt.

>>105987299
all good brother

>>105987275
No, that's lxde, lxqt by default uses kwin (picrel)

>>105987230
Can't you just drag the window to the top edge of your screen? It should maximize automatically (at least it does on every other DE).

KDE has been fucking trash since its inception. Why the fuck would you believe a bunch of random people on the internet?

Lmao, I remember first trying out Linux after retards telling me it is lighter than Windows, it is faster, all of the memes. Installed Mint, ran like utter crap, even with drivers installed, switched to a couple of other distros until Xubuntu worked out of the box for me.

Paedophiles like Jeremy Bicha are welcome in this project.

Non-programmers like Brian Lunduke; who doesn't code Free Software; are not.
Since they don't code nor contribute anything.

Jeremy is a Free Software programmer, so he is welcomed.

Random women who do not code are NOT welcome to take over this project and kick all the MMAALLLLEESSS out.

Murderers of adulterous women, such as Hans Reiser are also welcomed.
Also Loli lovers such as Richard Matthew Stallman.
All programmers.

He is probably mistaken, legally--but that is unfortunate. All of these acts should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness."

Ackchyually we're both wrong: lxqt doesn't have a default wm, each distro packages it with one of their choice, debian uses xfwm (picrel) and, yours, lubuntu uses openbox.

and? you gringos care too much about who the fuck write the software and too less on how is the code doing, i dont give a fuck about the sexual preferences of whoever the fuck write the code of my apps, but hey, whatever makes you feel like you are right...

Just use simple programs with minimal code like what do you expect from the biggest desktop environment on Linux, and the one with the most features? If you prioritize speed, I'm talking about using something like DWM, not a bloated setup like KDE

>>105990906
And there's IceWM for people who come from Windows.

They don't understand that castrated serfs have been used to since the civilizations of old. The tool functions that is the only thing that maters, if you want make them seethe just fork the shit they make copy the main project and add what you want, all they can do is cry

>>105986257 (OP)
KDE looks and feels great but the motherfucker is bloated as fuck.
For me they should eliminate all the meme configurations and shift it to a config file because most people don't tune their desktop and those that tune it prefer it being config based(i know that everything is stored in ./config)

This would lighten the burden of having to put a fucking menu for everything and enable the devs to focus on actually not Krashing their DE, also maybe their chose of language has a role on it crashing, GNOME uses javascript for lots of things maybe that has to be the reason why it crashes less.

>>105991198
Plasma also uses javascript through QML, KDE devs are just incompetent

I just installed Kubuntu 25.04 on a fucking ancient shitheap of a machine (i5-4460, 8GB, rx580, basic SATA SSD). It works great, very fast and smooth.
What are you people running it on to find it slow or "bloated"?
