Trying Plasma for a bit to see how green the grass is as a longtime Gnome user. The last time I ran Plasma on my main desktop was version 5.11, I think? It’s been a while…

    Takes literally minutes to try with 0 install and no risk for your data : https://distrosea.com/start/kubuntu-24.10-default/

    I’m not saying you should enjoy it (even though I do, Debian stable with Plasma for a while now) but it’s so convenient to give any distribution with any desktop environment a try that IMHO it’s wrong not to spend few minutes and see what you might be missing.

      Fedora/dnf makes installing additional desktops super easy, also with no risk to data. To hijack your comment a bit:

      To install Plasma: sudo dnf install @kde-desktop

      Logout and log into the Plasma session to use it.

      To rollback, get the transaction ID of the above: dnf history list

      And then rollback: sudo dnf history rollback <ID>

      If Gnome’s fonts/icons don’t revert, install and open gnome-tweaks and reset settings.
