Plasma was super unstable and janky, and the whole KDE desktop environment feels like developer art.

You last tried it 25 years ago right?

That's what I thought for a long time, until I tried it on the Steam deck since they use it for its desktop mode. I now use it as my daily driver desktop environment

Early days of Plasma 5 definitely can be described this way. Although I think we all forget just how fucking ugly early gnome 3 was.

But since mid Plasma 5 and on, it's incredibly stable and consistent in design. At this point, more consistent than gnome.

I was using Plasma 6 to get fractional scaling working (wrote the wrong version in original post)
