Trying Plasma for a bit to see how green the grass is as a longtime Gnome user. The last time I ran Plasma on my main desktop was version 5.11, I think? It’s been a while…

    As a new linux user I was overwhelmed by plasma and all the choices. I much prefer an OS and DE that feels like it isn’t there and gets out of my way. It was all a bit too distracting, so I went back to Gnome like DEs (Cinnamon and now Cosmic).

    Something like your suggestion, with basic settings first and then a deeper layer or toggle for advanced settings would have kept me on the platform longer.

      I don’t understand. If you’re overwhelmed by settings just don’t open them? You don’t “need” them, like ever.

        Yeah this shit is weird… I guess some people just see a lot of text and say “nope” without even bothering to read if any of that shit is actually necessary?
