@BrodieOnLinux that's a lot of words to say "I'm a big poopy brain"

@BrodieOnLinux Probably the classic "KDE is bloated" myth. I run Plasma just fine on a 2013 laptop.

@BrodieOnLinux probably the most classist way one could say that they think Plasma doesn't need to perform well on low end devices

@mitsunee @fell Most of the negative around Plasma can be traced back to the absolute disaster of a release that was KDE 4 that you'd be hard pressed to find a long time KDE dev willing to defend the state it was in at launch

@BrodieOnLinux luckily that was a bit before my time, KDE 4 was in a very good state when I switched from Windows 7 to Kubuntu in 2019

@mitsunee @fell The other reason it's "bloated" is GNOME tends to package all of it's libraries up into big bundles whereas KDE will install hundreds of little packages so if you don't know what you're looking at and only consider package count it looks bad

@mitsunee It improved a lot post launch for sure but the original release was a dev release that got tag as 4.0

@BrodieOnLinux probebly that KDE plasma is like MacOS: "Thou shalt Prove, thou hast the Qualifications to use MacOS; Prove with thy Wallet!"

@BrodieOnLinux The aphorism's author may be alluding to Matthew here."Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (5:3)Thus he suggests these people should refrain from using Plasma, as it has too many knobs everywhere, adhering to its developers intelligent design principles.Amen.

@BrodieOnLinux I think it means we should hope post-beta Cosmic is as good as some people think it will be, because both Gnome and KDE kinda suck in their own ways.

@BrodieOnLinux He just meant for the poor Gnome users. I feel bad for them too.

@BrodieOnLinux I do wonder what he means. Plasma 6 runs fine on my 2011 2nd-gen Core i3 ThinkPad T420i. Sure, it’s sluggish, but it’s entirely useable.
