    More lightweight than Windows 10 for sure. I was avoiding switch from 7 for a long, but it's EOL so I didn't have a choice. However, there's just very few things I need it for and in not so distant future I'll remove it completely.

    How usable is the low latency patch with wayland? As far as I know it didnt support wayland before. I might build it myself instead.

    I used KDE plasma X11 with low latency patch. There is no low latency patch on my distro for 5.19 for the time being.

    Cue the four Yorkshiremen
    Those were the times.




    Sadly, it's 2020 and Average Joe hasn't grown up in the 8-bit computer era anymore.

    it is the year 2020. i've been using unix since 1982. i've been using linux since the late 90's (daily). and i'm *still* waiting for a desktop environment that can save my open applications, their screen position and sizes, and their virtual root window placements as part of a persistent session. i'm old. and at this point i feel like i'm going to kick the bucket before this ever happens :-).

    Why do you need the terminal? If you started Plasma already, Alt+Space->info and open Info Center. It will show you a lot more info
