#2For more background in general I recommend the blog of one of the main developers, for this wayland news specifically this article: https://pointieststick.com/2023/11/10/this-week-in-kde-wayla...
This article from september goes into wayland (and KDE) much deeper and is worth a read: https://pointieststick.com/2023/09/17/so-lets-talk-about-thi...

#3I use KDE for a year now with Wayland. Works absolutely fine for me. My requirements are probably simple, just a laptop but it works.

#4KDE is pretty feature-rich, but it is just ugly. Look at the poor use of spacing/margins, the ugly black & white icons, the ugly font, the square edges, and just the overall look & feel. It needs a major face-lift. I dislike the attempts to dumb down GNOME but KDE being ugly makes it really hard to switch to.

I don’t care as long as something is capable of solving issues, but for those who have the needs to have pretty DE, kde has a lot of custom themes and customisability, otherwise its just a boring old guy complaining at the sky, the linux world is better off without those kind of people

Excellent spacing: no useless wide margins. Stylish icons that can blend in with various themes, which are clear and easily distinguishable. Font: most distro's actually default to Noto, not KDEs own. But you know what: this you can change, KDE didn't remove any and all options for customisation after all.
You can pry Plasma out my cold, dead hands. Gnome, Macos, and Windows: now that's amateur hour.

Honestly I don’t need my DE to look pretty, I need it to do is show me information, not crash and not search bing so all in all KDE is just fine in my opinion.

I am not really sure how your comment is a reaction to mine? Having said that, opinions are opinions. I much prefer KDEs UI/UX choices over those made by Gnome and have no problem with the general look and feel of the interface.

I used to think the same as you, and I would still agree that out of the box, KDE is probably uglier than Gnome is. However, I've grown to be rather impressed with what you can do with KDE, and more importantly that KDE allows you to do it. Using Gnome was a slow descent into watching all the plugins and UI choices I liked be slowly removed or break over time.

#10> - Plasma's start time is up to a few seconds faster.
On the one hand, this is impressive. On the other, this is a vague indictment of modern software. Plasma logs you in, draws a background and the taskbar thing across the screen. There shouldn't be seconds involved in that to shave.
This must be a recurring feature, every few years someone goes through and fixes up load times.
