Another rant because nothing ever works and the community keeps disappointing me.

Why in the world does everyone say works so good it's "the most reliable KDE distro ever, been using it for 48723698 years!" when in the FIRST day everything keeps breaking? I've been losing the whole day trying to fix KDE Neon, NOTHING works! I just want to play my games... :(

Genuinely thinking to go back to Windows after 7ish years of daily driving Linux... I've been getting disappointed more and more. I hoped for Linux to improve with reliability, but it never did. It just keeps breaking.

All this "high customisability" comes at a cost, clearly.

If you're done with KDE and looking for other options, maybe consider XFCE. Fewer features, more stability.

I swear, is the only OS where i have to set my cursor settings three times, at least. ( Qt, GTK, Flatpak )

I don't want to go back on because snapd keeps coming back like a virus. But at this point seems like i don't have choice... Maybe will work idk... Prolly not...

@Azarilh neon is really just a testing OS for anything new KDE related. You would be much better off using something like if you want a stable just works distro.

@Ryan I have to admit i didn't try Fedora yet.

@Azarilh can be a slightly boring distro since not much breaks. Though it's a good first distro with some of the best support alongside .

@Ryan @Azarilh I like to think of it that is boring in the places where you want something to be boring (eg, consistently being able to boot after upgrades) and yet moves quickly in exciting ways for the things where you generally want that to happen.

I only have experience with Fedora Workstation, but a half-step into the more adventurous, might be to use products of some of the Spins, such as KDE Desktop, LXDE Desktop, etc.
