     @mitsunee @fell Most of the negative around Plasma can be traced back to the absolute disaster of a release that was KDE 4 that you'd be hard pressed to find a long time KDE dev willing to defend the state it was in at launch

     @BrodieOnLinux Probably the classic "KDE is bloated" myth. I run Plasma just fine on a 2013 laptop.

     @mitsunee @fell The other reason it's "bloated" is GNOME tends to package all of it's libraries up into big bundles whereas KDE will install hundreds of little packages so if you don't know what you're looking at and only consider package count it looks bad

     @mitsunee It improved a lot post launch for sure but the original release was a dev release that got tag as 4.0

     @BrodieOnLinux luckily that was a bit before my time, KDE 4 was in a very good state when I switched from Windows 7 to Kubuntu in 2019
