  • KDE is the best if you want customize without editing yaml or xml or you just new to Linux
  • XFCE, LXDE, MATE, & CINNAMON are the best if you have very old system but still want to have some customization.
  • I3, SWAY, & OPENBOX are the best if you feel need little bit challenge to customize
  • NO GUI (CLI) is the best if you feel DE is bloat or systemd is bloat or wanna feel like Hollywood movie hackers

I think latly, especially in plasma 6, KDE got as viable on old machines as XFCE and surly mint and cinnamon.

I brought my KDE idle RAM usage down to 500MB just by using the GUI options that come with it. That’s about the same amount a default Xfce or LXQt needs.

Damn can you list some of the options you remember changing?

I disabled all animations, the baloo file indexing and all services that start automatically at login.
I also installed not the full KDE Suite but just Plasma Desktop and then uninstalled all parts I don’t need.
So technically, I’m not running KDE but Plasma. From the KDE application Suite I use Dolphin, Konsole, the archiver, the image viewer, the PDF viewer and the system settings tool.

Yes baloo is a hog. Note that the background services systemsettings page will be hidden in the future but accessible from the global search.
