>be me>require a laptop to take with me>buy a used t430s>install linux on it>try KDE>KDE is fucking DOGSHIT and takes AGES to loadWhat the fuck? When did KDE become so bloated and slow? I remember when Linux could revive older hardware that windows doesn't work on, but now KDE and Windows are literally the same level of bloated.Btw, when I installed GNOME, it just worked. It was a little janky with animations, but it never froze and didn't take a full minute to show the window.In the end, I ended up using XFCE. But imagine! GNOME, the resource hog is BETTER than KDE. What the fuck, KDE?!
>>107248907it's kde on an ivy bridge laptop my guyi used to use Manjaro (yes i know it sucks) on a raspberry pi 4 with KDE and it was awful too. although it seemed even worse than GNOME.you should try LXQT if you want something lighter that still uses QT.
works on my machine
>>107248936Manjaro sucks btw
>>107248973Werks on my machine
>>107248907Runs fine on my 9800X3D/5090 don't know how your ancient laptop can't handle it. Maybe try Sway?
>>107248907install mint cinnamon
>>107248907kys, shill
>>107248907skill issueprobably gnome poster
>>107248907Yup. DE's are bloat, but XFCE is GOATed. Thought this was commonly understood.
>>107248907>He uses a Thinkpad>with>a Desktop EnvironmentLMAO. Skill issue. TTY or GTFO.
>>107248907my t430s with i7 and 16gb ram i got for 70$ can run kde fine
xfce users have no such issues
>>107250592post proof
>just buy more ram bro>just consoom new cpu/gpu bro>"look at those goyim they still use old hardware that just works. let's shame them into upgrading their machines, also invent new dogshit bloatware that requires more computational power"
>>107248907maybe buy a proper laptop next time like a Framework or something
>>107251062>Everything should be bound by the limitations of my hardware configuration. If my 20 year old laptop can't run it, then it's badThere's no shame in using xfce or something more suited your hardware needs

>>107251132>xfcei believe they still have that cringe gtk3 filepicker
gnome actually runs better on my old laptop lol
>>107248907Beef

>>107248907>take a full minute to show the window.How?? My X230 (same CPU gen) with a 10+ year old SSD loads the desktop in ~15 seconds, are you booting from a 5400 rpm hard drive?
>>107248907KDE is bloat for Thinkpads, that's definitely true, but either way if it's taking this long to load on startup, it means there's something wrong with the Thinkpad.I found out the hard way that the refurbisher gave me a used Thinkpad with the wrong battery model and with an SSHD Hybrid drive instead of an SSD. Even when I had TDE and XFCE, it was SLIGHTLY faster, sure. But it was way too slow than it normally was from other videos of Thinkpads running any DE, which indicated to me something was seriously wrong. I replaced every fucked up component, and now it runs pretty fast. I am not 100% sure about KDE, but I am 99% sure it'll run faster if you double check that all the hardware is correctly upgraded and that the refurbisher didn't fuck you over.
>>107251706meds
>>107251387>mem: 2.60 gigs
>>107252210That's not necessarily true. I started with KDE because I bought into all of the posts about how KDE is as light as XFCE these days and that older DEs are just obsolete. KDE consumed the most ram and took the longest to boot up, GNOME took only a bit less but was much faster to boot, XFCE was lightning fast and wouldn't even trigger my fans unless I was actually doing something heavy.
>>107252983do gnome redeem saar
i have i5 haswell is like 46 seconds boot to xfce
>>107248907>What the fuck? When did KDE become so bloated and slow?trannies, estrogen, kneesocks. also there is such a thing as race differences, and finns are not white and not really human either.
>>107248907>and didn't take a full minute to show the window.You obviously bought a laptop with 4GB of RAM and a spinning disk. Just upgrade to 16GB of RAM and a nice SSD and it will be as fast as any other computer.>inb4 but the CPU is olderCPUs are hardly ever running at 100% load for long, the bottleneck is elsewhere. Besides I have an X201 Thinkpad somewhere which is even two generations older and it's still running KDE just fine. Nothing takes a minute to open with it.
>>107248907KDE is great and you're gay
>>107251706lmaoindian fucking shits!
>>107248907you should upgrade your computer. that things kinda old
>>107251387yo there's a dead pixel or something
I have used both KDE and XFCE on all of my machines and they both have worked flawlessly.
>>107248907>>107248907>installs DE riddled with fucking bugs everywhere>wonders why it works like shitbro be serious, if you wan't it to actually work install Gnome or Xfce. If not then keep fucking around.
>>107248907>load up kde>krashesgnome is the standard for a reason guys.
