I’m new to the world of Linux as a main OS, and I ran Mint for a while, wanted to try KDE Plasma, installed and ran it on mint for a while and blew away mint for a distro with KDE Plasma once I knew it’s what I wanted.

To say I had jank is an understatement.

If you want KDE, why not use a KDE-distro? Any time I’ve installed a different Desktop Environment, I’ve found it pretty janky.

About the only semi-exception is immutable distros, which can easily swap out the system layer. I’ve done it, and only had minor jank.

Still, it’s better to know what you want ahead of time, if you want an opinionated installation; VMs and live ISOs are good for testing other DEs. Otherwise, you might as well get ready to do it the way Arch users do it.
