Messed with it very briefly while distro hopping, actually. Found that it did a lot of things UX-wise very nicely, but I ended up not keeping the distro for whatever reason, then just never came back to the DE. (I think it was the Kubuntu LTS not playing along with my laptop?)

Try manjaro kde. It has pretty good auto detection and configuration for hardware. Looks like ubuntu messed up release 16 and it rears its ugly head on many ububtu based os. It feels so brittle. Debian based netrunner kde is also nice but I like manjaro better for its excellent ux.

Maybe if it wasn't such resource hog and not segfaulted every few minutes...
