    I just did a fresh install of windows 11 last week, after my attempt to switch to Plasma on Debian Fedora did not go very well. While it’s absolutely true that some de-bloating must be done right after install, it took me like 15 minutes. I spent at least that long just finding the three different goddamn places I had to go to change the wallpaper in Plasma.

    *Edit: wrong flavor of linux

      You spent more than 15 minutes changing wallpaper in Plasma? I smell bs because it’s really simple.

      Right-click on desktop:

      Pick an image from the list, or add your own images (“Add…”):

      After you click “Add…”:

      The last windows I used was 10, and I remember the process being very similar.

      The problem is you used Debian which is missing bug fixes for KDE, and is on a frankly ancient 5.27 - I have had nothing but an awesome experience on KDE 6, with both VRR, and HDR, working under Wayland.

      Recommend trying a rolling release

          With the CLI guided install the barrier to entry is also super low now. The only thing I’m still battling is GPU video acceleration with Firefox.

        Whoops, I was actually using Fedora. I had to go check the kde website, as that is where I got it from and thought it would be weird if they recommended something so out of date.

          fedora kinda sucks for people new to linux. I’ve used it a few times in the past and hated it each time.

          Finally actually made the switch to linux permanently a couple years ago with mint and it’s a much nicer experience overall.
