i could make a mean comment, but i recently switched from mint to ultramarine kde and i could swear it's buggier than w11. literally every time i look at it wrong i need to reboot.

    I have experience in KDE being a bit buggy too. It's kinda crazy how powerful it is, but I guess more "moving parts" means more breakage.

    After a while, I moved away from KDE.

    In fairness, it's been more stable for me than Windows.

    I haven't used KDE Plasma since Plasma 6 came out, though. I've heard people say it's a lot less janky, so maybe my experience is no longer the case. Nowadays the only interaction I have with KDE is the 0.1% of the time my steam deck spends in desktop mode while I'm updating stardew valley mods.

    I've had very few problems with KDE Plasma (on Fedora) since I swapped to it like a year ago. Discover is being weird every now and then, but I mostly use dnf directly anyways.

    Have you tried launching Discover through the terminal? You might get some helpful logs (especially if it's immediately segfaulting, that means it's a known bug with a fix!)

    yes i have launched it from terminal. it only launches with sudo, it works completely normally then. funny that it nags that it's unnecessary to run it with sudo. without sudo it's just silent, nothing appears in terminal.

    there's also 4 updates always available, but they keep coming back after restarting discover. sometimes it gives an error complaining about color schemes, wallpapers, cursors etc. even if I remove everything i downloaded...

    I also find KDE to be a real mixed bag. Every time I have tried it, thinking "maybe it got better", it has ranged from being a bit buggy to "holy shit this is well broken". I may just have been really unlucky but I have been burned too many times and now avoid it altogether.
