    As I've noted above, I had a very, very different experience between Kubuntu and installing KDE on top of Ubuntu.
    Of course, being so easily messed up during packaging isn't exactly a testament to KDE's resilience either.
    ???
    Where is it "easily messed up" again? Everyone else gets it right, someone in Ubuntu or their community is a noob (not the first time Ubuntu fucks up packaging of something), end of story.

      Great article... would be interesting to see how LxQT stacks up...
      When I've tried GNOME it has been fairly responsive... too bad it's so hard to customize.
      LxQt seems pretty much dead , last commit was 4 months ago: https://github.com/lxde/lxqt

        Well, this isn't an isolated incident, I ran into this like two years ago and the problem still persists. And like I posted above, Kubuntu using the packages from the same repo yields very different results.

          To be fair, Fedora people can be a PITA (not my words).

          This is the blog post I was talking about: https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/bl...s-the-quality/

            For that matter, Ubuntu fucked up packaging of systemd and pulseaudio in the past too. I personally blame Ubuntu more than KDE.

              fixed.

                Ignoring KDE and Deepin, and also Budgie in the future.

                    It's not mainly about that. I use KDE daily on four totally different computers (two desktop PCs and two laptops, all from different years) and I'm not seeing all this bloatware and slowness. The problem here is that this benchmark was conducted poorly in one way or another. Seriously, those boot times are hilariously long. For comparison: my father laptop with a rusty spinning drive takes almost 30 sec to boot (to desktop), with btrfs and KDE. Here I've SATA SSDs and some BLACK series WD disks, nowhere near the performance of that tested NVMe.

                    Maybe, some code lacks audition. So is the case with other software. The real issue here is the clickbait headline and the "take these numbers with a grain of salt, which are not representative but carry on reading".

                    EDIT: Ok, this guy is a troll. What a waste of writing.

                      Oh goodie. Another poster of insightful comments. What would Phoronix do without these.
