Hello everybody! I was thinking of switching from GNOME to KDE Plasma on my laptop. The main things keeping me from switching are

  • Touchpad Gestures
  • Dynamic Workspaces

Since I have a pretty beefy machine, dynamic workspaces are more an optional than anything but if there’s something unnegotiable to me, especially for a laptop experience, is the touchpad experience which must me at least viable. So what has been your experience? Please I need your opinion

    Anything you can do in GNOME you can do in Plasma.

    Just beware that for the first time in your GNU/Linux life, you can CHOOSE how everything works, instead of being forced into a specific paradigm. For some reason some GNOME users find it disturbing 😅 (it’s a joke guys calm down).

    Touchpad gestures are good, but you have to Google to configure everything. It’s not done out of the box like with GNOME

      I just installed it in this very moment and I’m texting you from the new Fedora KDE Spin installation - Touchpad gestures work ootb, I just find some design choices kinda… uhm, questionable I’d say. Nevertheless, it runs fine overall!
