You've chosen the wrong turn with buggy Qt5 one I belive.
I must come in and defend KDE. I've been using Gnome for years, starting with Gnome 2 which was amazing for it's time. Gnome 3 was a bit of a horror show. I would periodically try KDE just to see what it is all about and for years I was able to crash it on first attempt. There was always something wrong with it - I remember one time, somewhere in 2011, I installed it and wanted to make it look more like Unity. The settings app crashed when I selected a built-in option to have the "close" button on the left. That's how bad it was. Fast forward, last year I got fed up with Gnome's inconsistent design. I really didn't think it's a good idea to have THREE different places to have an app menu, of course each app had it's own idea which one to use etc. So I thought it was about time to give KDE another try. I found out KDE developers had their own Ubuntu-based distro with all libraries preselected - Neon. I installed it and, lo and behold, it was rock solid. I've been using it since November 2019 and it has not caused me a single issue since. Last few weeks I have been also using Qt5 in my own software development and I must say it is a very well designed framework. So I would not agree that it's buggy. KDE certainly was in the past, but not anymore. Barebones setup like TopDog describes cartainly can work for certain workflows, but don't be too quick to dismiss Desktop Environments - they have their uses and have a huge following, which indicates people enlarge appreciate what DEs provide, my humble self being one of such people. |
