We now live in a world where KDE looks nicer, more professional, and more consistent than the latest macOS. I don't know how that happened, and KDE isn't even particularly nice looking, but here we are.

For many years now KDE has focused on polish, bug fixing and "nice-to-have" improvements rather than major redesigns, and it paid off.

I agree. ElementaryOS was showing similar promise but their latest major release was a step backwards, tripping over new whistles and bells instead of maintaining rock solid stability with their polished UI.

What happened with ElementaryOS ? I'm not in the loop, just check in every few months and last time I checked t was the most popular go-to Arch spin with batteries included.

Is CachyOS better now?

Elementary isn't an arch spin, it's a Ubuntu derivative

Am my bad, I was thinking of EndeavourOS the Arch based one.
