I’m currently looking for a new OS, coming from KDE neon and I like it, but the fact I have to FUCKING restart because someone decided to push an OS update that broke my previous install, now the OS freezes my whole PC (never did before!) and I have to restart.

I’m looking for good apps support so Debian? Idk Using it for daily usage (Android/games development) and gaming.

I’m also looking for:

  • Wobbly windows (yes useless but cool lol)
  • Good customization
  • KDE connect support (a must)
  • Krunner or equivalent (MacOS like search)
  • Idk?

Thank you!

      Huh? It’s been a while since I’ve used non-headless Debian, but why is it bad for KDE? Needs more cutting edge versions?

        To me, it’s a matter of:

        1. Doesn’t do anything extra. openSUSE runs automated tests and reports bugs to the KDE devs before a release. They also maintain a Firefox patch to integrate it into the KDE MIME type system. Semi-decent distros will at least still package that patch and setup xdg-desktop-portal-kde by default. To my knowledge, Debian/Kubuntu/etc. do none of that.
        2. Old dependencies, which sometimes cause bugs in KDE that you don’t see elsewhere. But also just old versions of KDE Plasma, even though Plasma gets better and more stable with each new release. We’ve got Kubuntu LTS at $DAYJOB, and you would not believe the number of times people mention something not quite working as they expected or wanted, and I get to respond that this would be fixed already, if we weren’t using such an ancient version…

      I don’t exactly know if Debian or anything else but my “requirements” is short sooo I’m open to anything I guess

        openSUSE does the nicest KDE. It also comes with BTRFS snapshotting out of the box, so you could’ve just rolled back that broken update. Downside is that not as many apps are packaged for it.
