  • I’m running KDE on Archlinux. I had used Linux Mint with Cinnamon before, and only Windows other than that. My advice is don’t use the arch installer script (it just didn’t work for me at all), but follow this guide. It worked perfectly for me.

    They also have a guide for installing KDE. If you want a lean system, don’t install the kde-applications package, however that will mean a few things like printers won’t work without installing the printing service, but kde-applications installs a lot of apps you probably don’t want.

    [Edit]: I also meant to say put home on a different partition. It makes life a lot easier if you mess up your system or want to reinstall or want to distro hop.



  • I can’t remember what broke, but I’m on archlinux with KDE, which gives you a choice of X or Wayland. I used X for ages, decided to try out Wayland, and immediately something didn’t work. It might have been discord screen share but I can’t remember tbh. That’s why I’m still using X.
