    I just ditched my old Windows 10 PC for a raspberry pi 5, and am running KDE Plasma.

    It’s refreshing to have an operating system that doesn’t suggestive sell to me.

      That seems like a odd choice. Raspberry pis are limited and require the raspberry pi kernel and proprietary binaries.

      Couldn’t you have just install Linux mint on your PC and called it a day? It would likely have better performance.

        It was a specific choice. My PC is a little long in the tooth, sucks power, and is overly loud for where it was situated.

        The pi is doing fine for my relatively non-demanding usage. If I do set up the old PC again, I’ll probably wind up installing Mint or something, rather than buy upgrades and crap to support Windows 11.
