@hexaitos aaaa yeah, ive thought about doing something like that, have been a bit thrown off by folks mentioning it can lead to some weird to fix problems so haven't done so yet!
When distro hopping in the past, we've used both plasma and gnome for a bit on this computer! unfortunately ran into a lot of graphical problems that made both pretty much unusable and were not able to fix, kind of chalked up both to us being on 10+ year old hardware but am not 100% sure?
our laptop is much newer though and runs both flawlessly, we currently have gnome on it cause we enjoy it a lot as a laptop interface, but have been continuously tempted to try out kde again there :3
