Gdm is slow and buggy comparatively, imo. Gnome has always lagged behind on stability and speed for me, and Cinnamon doesn’t do much to fix those issues for its simplicity.
For its simplicity, were I to choose less features and the minimal design Cinnamon goes for, I’d rather just have XFCE instead. Similar look and function, more mature, if older.
This really comes out if you try KDE on a lower-powered system like an ARM phone. KDE-touch is way more grounded and quick than the gnome solutions.
Garuda is like if someone decided to tick every box they possibly could. I’m not saying they’re good or bad, it’s just, I believe in chaos theory to a degree. Something’s gonna break. It’s a bit much. I’m fine with slapping plasma on Arch and calling it a day.
I daily drove garuda for a few years when I first switched to linux and yep, you summed it up perfectly. Beautiful and cool but too many problems. Eventually broke bad enough I switched to nobara.
Perhaps. I should probably just stick with Mint for now, I really just need my computer to pave the way for my work and hobbies and every time I start to tinker I either break something or feel like I’ve wasted time.
Fair. I don’t have big opinions about desktop environments, at least not yet. What gets you so excited about KDE?

I’m lucky I overbuilt my PC then I guess. Interesting though… Looking at different KDE distros I can see the appeal of Garuda Dr460nized.
