After Plasma 6 released I prefer KDE over Gnome every day, I found that Plasma 5 was too messy, inconsistent and unintuitive even if Gnome was lacking in functionality. Even then I decided to move to i3 “just because” and now I’m transitioning to Sway. So far I think Sway is my favorite.
MHH interesting. I honestly haven’t really given kde a fair shot since KDE4 maybe I need to force myself to use Plasma 6. Gnome has really gotten on my nerves lately. But I also know that on Plasma I will mostly recreate my gnome experience (Super key, hot corner …) since these are so ingrained in me from over a decade of using gnome.
KDE4 was a mess, and it annoys me when people that haven’t used it since 4 shit on KDE as “buggy”. Plasma has been fixing so many things since and 6 has done the upgrade to QT6 for future proofing, but it’s a bit buggier than late 5.
Give it a try, but you’re going to have to wait in more stable distros like Ubuntu and Fedora since they don’t have it out yet. If you wanted to try it in Fedora, the Nobara spin uses the latest 6. Otherwise, Arch and a few other more cutting edge distros are running it, like maybe OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
As far as my experience goes, Gnome workspaces and workflow is still more intuitive and simple. But Plasma 6 workflows has integrated modes where it can work the same if not very similar to Gnome. So in that regard Plasma has been taking notes and bringing all the good things from Gnome.
