#Plasma6 should land on your computer in February 2024 🤞.

I'd love Plasma if they removed like 2/3 of the options and made the default look a bit more modern.
Gnome is a little too minimalist for my taste, but the default is good enough.
Getting Plasma to behave and look in a way that doesn't annoy me is possible without installing anything extra, but it's a chore. And I hate that bouncing loading cursor with a passion.
I'm genuinely glad there's an alternative to Gnome, though.
Why wish for less options AND a default look you like when you could just wish for the latter and ignore the options?
I like all the options and use a weirdly high amount of them. The default look is a bit windowsy and would be nice to flip through 8 preset layouts and the default themes.
if you like the current look, then you wouldn't even have to see the options, because you wouldn't be trying to customize it.
but you're arrogant enough to assume that if you don't need them, then I shouldn't either
The point of kde plasma is extensive customizability and aesthetics at the cost of performance. I don't like default kde, but after tweaking everything with kvantum manager I can't go back
There is no sacrifice of performance. Plasma is one of the lighter desktops out there and having lots of options does not impact that. We are also increasing efficiency across the board thanks to the Eco project.
