I have switched my daily laptop to KDE neon since 5.12. Am I happy? Well 100%.

I have been using Linux on and off since I think Ubuntu 8 or 10 days so a long time but this full time experience has been much better.

I can do bash and am not scared of terminal. That is nice.

I always read planet.KDE.org and its a fun place.

KDE now with steamdeck means more people are going to get exposure to KDE which is always a good thing

Plasma doesn't support Wayland yet, so there's lots of issues when using external screens with a different DPI. That's why I'm moving to gnome, even though I like KDE better.

> Plasma doesn't support Wayland yet

Plasma does support Wayland and has for some time. Some distros are even considering defaulting to Wayland now. There have been substantial improvements to Wayland support in the last few months making it an acceptable daily driver, at least for me with 1 HDPI screen.

Do you mean specific Wayland support for multiple screens? I have played with the KwinFT fork and found it be better for screen management.

Kubuntu 21.04 defaults to Wayland.

Plasma has supported Wayland earlier than GNOME did (although GNOME's Wayland session has reached production quality earlier than Plasma did).
