I love KDE too. It's so configurable and just plain powerful. And looks great as well.

I really felt so empowered when I left macOS for FreeBSD with KDE and I still do. I found I really hate opinionated software because usually I don't have the same opinions :)

How's FreeBsd on your hardware? I've been itching to try it on my ThinkPad, but with an infant and work, I'm not able to find the time to do so!

It's great for me. It runs for months as a daily driver without any issues. No crashes. In HiDPI also.

However I run it on a desktop NUC with wired everything. I don't use WiFi, Bluetooth or Suspending. I'm not sure if the more laptop-related usescases will be ok. For example I had to turn off my bluetooth controller because it hangs the boot process. I think this is just a peculiarity of my particular controller though.

Also I have one weird key repeat thing I still have to investigate :) But I think my Apple keyboard is just a bit funny.

Its like better windows! Sometimes pretty glitchy, but worth it for about 80%-90% problem free.
