For the most time I’m using tiling window managers on my Linux installations. It lets me use the screen real estate in a very efficient way and I also don’t have to use the mouse that much. Ever since the meltdowns of Gnome 3 and KDE 4 I’ve been wandering around trying different desktop environments. KDE 4 was even more horrific than Gnome 3. So for a very long time KDE wasn’t even an option for me. This weekend I tested out KDE 5. It was a lovely experience! It was far from the nightmare I remembered from KDE 4. In a way it felt like this is the way Linux desktop environments were supposed to go. It is very customizable, it ships with great applications and tools and it is a very pretty desktop environment. I tried out the Plasma Desktop edition of Manjaro. I normally enjoy the Manjaro themes and the Breath theme was no exception.
From now, whenever I feel like using a desktop environment, I think my desktop environment of choice will be KDE. I didn’t see that one coming…
