I just did a fresh install of windows 11 last week, after my attempt to switch to Plasma on Debian Fedora did not go very well. While it’s absolutely true that some de-bloating must be done right after install, it took me like 15 minutes. I spent at least that long just finding the three different goddamn places I had to go to change the wallpaper in Plasma.
The problem is you used Debian which is missing bug fixes for KDE, and is on a frankly ancient 5.27 - I have had nothing but an awesome experience on KDE 6, with both VRR, and HDR, working under Wayland.
Whoops, I was actually using Fedora. I had to go check the kde website, as that is where I got it from and thought it would be weird if they recommended something so out of date.

You spent more than 15 minutes changing wallpaper in Plasma? I smell bs because it’s really simple.
Right-click on desktop:
Pick an image from the list, or add your own images (“Add…”):
After you click “Add…”:
The last windows I used was 10, and I remember the process being very similar.

Recommend trying a rolling release
Unironically, I find Arch easier to use than Debian
With the CLI guided install the barrier to entry is also super low now. The only thing I’m still battling is GPU video acceleration with Firefox.

fedora kinda sucks for people new to linux. I’ve used it a few times in the past and hated it each time.
Finally actually made the switch to linux permanently a couple years ago with mint and it’s a much nicer experience overall.
