Plasma 6 Laptop Experience

Hello everybody! I was thinking of switching from GNOME to KDE Plasma on my laptop. The main things keeping me from switching are

  • Touchpad Gestures
  • Dynamic Workspaces

Since I have a pretty beefy machine, dynamic workspaces are more an optional than anything but if there's something unnegotiable to me, especially for a laptop experience, is the touchpad experience which must me at least viable. So what has been your experience? Please I need your opinion

Touchpad Gestures are supported only in Wayland in KDE Plasma

Anything you can do in GNOME you can do in Plasma.

Just beware that for the first time in your GNU/Linux life, you can CHOOSE how everything works, instead of being forced into a specific paradigm. For some reason some GNOME users find it disturbing 😅 (it's a joke guys calm down).

Touchpad gestures are good, but you have to Google to configure everything. It's not done out of the box like with GNOME

I just installed it in this very moment and I'm texting you from the new Fedora KDE Spin installation - Touchpad gestures work ootb, I just find some design choices kinda... uhm, questionable I'd say. Nevertheless, it runs fine overall!
