From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm honestly thinking about going back to XFCE after years with KDE.

Idk, it just seems really buggy to me now. The transition to 6 isn't going as smoothly as it should, but it's about what I'd expect.

I keep getting weird freezes where the dock stops working.

Oh good, it's not just me with weird freezing problems. I often see individual windows hang for a good while as well, and then KWin just restarts in place.

I love kde, I love the file picker, I love window management, I love dolphin, I love the panels, I love Kate, etc... but every time I have to switch to a new tty to restart kwin, part of my soul dies
