   After 2 years using the same desktop for editing, running #Fedora and #GNOME, I made a big switch:
   - first, I replaced both my desktop and my laptop with one single laptop for both use cases
   - I moved to #KDE plasma
   - I switched distros!

   Here is the whole new setup, how I configured KDE, and how everything works!

     @fabiscafe Well, it’s not :) It’s « hey my PC is struggling », then one click and you immediately know why, and you can take action. Compared to opening the system monitor, looking at the apps that use the most CPU, or RAM, or GPU, and then taking action.

     @thelinuxEXP Why is it that always someone presents me with KDE Plasma and shows the setup I always feel like "yeah, but why?".
     Please dont get me wrong - it's your setup, you need to be productive and feel good on it but for example the "add a 'hide windows icon' to see the widgets on the desktop to catch the moment before the PC struggles" feels kind of painful extra work to do.

     @thelinuxEXP seems like a strange switch direction

     @Joe_0237 I wouldn’t switch to something that hurts my day job for one sponsored video ;)
