    #2 gave it away because you’d have to royally screw something up in Arch to get KDE to lag like that lol.

    It might be minimalist but it’s not unperformant out of box.

      The only time i had issues with KDE when i was using a PC with 384 MB RAM (plasma 4)

      I wouldnt blame that on kde

        And KDE Plasma isn’t even one of the lightweight desktop environments. It’s honestly impressive how sluggish Microsoft made Windows feel.

          It still had a pretty low requirement for ram… like 500Mb or so. I solved it switching, first to xfce4, which i loved and later on with i3wm whoch i believe asks like <4Mb. I may be wrong
