KDE Plasma desktop is used by millions today. The KDE technology evolved over the years to reach a point where it is now running in desktops, laptops, tabs, mobile phones and hand-held gaming devices. It’s amazing, isn’t it, for a desktop environment? And with an active set of developers and community, it is improving every day with new features aligning with technology trends.

Since I discovered KDE many years ago (with Kubuntu), I was hooked. I progressed after that to Linux Mint's KDE version, until I found Manjaro KDE in mid-2017 (where I am still happy today).

The article below compares some of the best options, not on technical terms, but more based on use cases.

KDe seemed to be ahead of the pack from the get-go. It was my first desktop of choice on my very first Linux install (around 2004 Open Suse). Feature rich and great user experience but not requiring a lot of computing power. I use Mageia with LXQt on one laptop and ROSA Plasma on a desktop.

True, and it seems to have really matured now and also become a lot more stable. The adoption of mobile phones also says a lot.

Connecting to devices is usually effortless - smart TV shows up on Plasma - I still don't know how to do that on Win 10 - probably need a half hour to install drivers ;-). Mind you, HDMI connection is awkward - analogue must be changed to digital output audio manually. I'm sure there's a solution out there (everything's a config file ;-)
