[KDE] Finally figured out how to rice KDE halfway decently

BTW which custom Kernel is that? What are its advantages and how did you get it?

As ducky said. As for where to get it, it came with Ubuntu Studio by default, so I'm not sure beyond that

Compared to other DE how do you find customization on KDE?

I feel like I was go back to XFCE because of how easy it is to get things the way I like

I've used xfce and honestly KDE has a lot more customization potential. This is really helped along by the massive community compared to xfce, which means you get a whole load of potential widgets for your panel and desktop

I do miss the comic widget that used to feed me a daily dose of Garfield

You see the thing about kde they nailed their motto "simple by default, powerful when needed" the thing is the path from simple to powerful is an obscure one

I am in love with the KDE System Monitor widgets. They were, of all things, what truly cemented the Linux switch for me.

I used Aquasuite on Windows to control my watercooling, and it can set up a vast amount of widgets on your background for easy monitoring of temps and other values. It will not run on Linux.

The KDE widgets give me basically the same experience, although missing a few things. It's enough that I'm happy with it, and I can check temperature and flow rates at a glance if something starts acting fucky.

I had kde installed for like 3 hours and almost made a new panel. Then I gave up and reinstalled gnome.

I just don't have the patience. I think it still might be my second favorite de.

I used to feel like that too. It took me days to puzzle it all out, but now that I've figured it out I've been converted

Can you show or write what you did with the panel? Is this the default one? What widgets are active on it? Other customization specifically aimed at the panel?

thats not decent bro, thats fucking aewsome.... and... wheres the wallpaper...??? 😐
