I install Fedora Workstation and change nothing. I’m pretty happy with GNOME in that case. KDE has been too fiddley for me the last few times I tried it. It’s there a distro that has a default KDE setup that feels minimal and out of the way?
I have both versions of the workstation and KDE one is less broken, more functional and less annoying to use daily.
I patiently await when the projects that require my current software packages end so I can wipe my home and go manjaro or something.
ive had and heard of many bad experiences with manjaro, though they do a couple of cool things. i really wish you all the best on your manjaro endeavours, but would recommend (not from experience but rather what i have gathered) to use endeavourOS over manjaro. also that would fit your name nicely
endOS is like manjaro based on Arch. they feel closely related, hence the recommendation.
i probably wouldn’t install it because i don’t want to deal with Arch’s quick update cycle, but that’s just my personal preference and no statement about the quality of arch and its derivatives.
endOS and Manjaro are both that keep being reccomended a lot and I really want to check them out, but I keep forgetting. My big wishlist is working vr, working hotas, not having to mess around with nvidia drivers every kernel update.
Thanks for help!

Garuda KDE-lite is what I’ve been using my and it’s great
Thanks I will try it

The Fedora Workstation KDE spin and Manjaro as well as Endeavor all feel cluttered and janky IMO. Glad you like it though.

Ah thanks for the reccomendation. I’ll give endOS a go first as iirc that was not fedora based.
Strong recommendation of EndeavourOS over Manjaro.

arch probably
Not Arch, it’s 100% bog standard on Arch.
Which is great and what most people want, but the parent poster wants something pre-configured to be minimalist.
