My son bought a second-hand Windows 11 PC for games, and has been having BSOD issues with the graphics card since he got it. Out of desperation he tried installing Bazzite on it, which I encouraged, but was also trying not to get his hopes up, telling him that the some things might not work. But he reports that "absolutely everything works better than Windows".
I suggested he use KDE for the desktop, and he is blown away about how good everything looks, and how easy the user experience is. He has used Linux for a bit probably 7 or 8 years ago when he used a salvaged laptop at uni that had Ubuntu on it, and he remembers that being a bit janky and frustrating, but now he's decided that he'll wipe the Windows partition and stay with Linux.
So keep it up, clever people that are making Linux distros and software, you're winning.

I picked KDE just for the tagging file system.

Hierarchies are inadequate.

Interesting. What's a tagging file system?

@stib

You can add tags to files and find them by tag, as well as the traditional hierarchy.

I find that it makes it much easier to find things.

Most photo management apps support this, because people have so many pictures and it's hard to remember if you filed the picture of Fred in Newtown under Fred or Newtown.

This extends it to all files
