KDE is great!

After Windows 7 I jumped to various Linux distros but the desktop UX/stability always felt like a downgrade until I ended up with Manjaro+KDE. It just works and gives me peace of mind.

Once I was on a long-distance train and worked on my laptop when some businesswoman sat next to me. She also had a laptop but became visibly enraged over time. Turns out she was fighting with Windows 11 network settings, constant virus scanner popups, cloud sync problems in her office suite and whatnot. This was when I realized how much superior the Linux desktop experience already is.

I tried it multiple times and never felt it was as good as people claimed it to be. Not sure if anything changed lately, but from the screenshots, I get the same vibe. Used Ubuntu for the last 15y, but now tried Arch (omarchy) with hyprland (I never heard about hyprland before), and that one felt natural for me. Had some issues (same as on Ubuntu), but resolved them (Nvidia card). Super happy now, I barely use my Mac now.
