What I still need to do is find out again where I can configure custom shortcuts to quickly switch between desktops using the keyboard

There's one thing I had not done in a long time which is install a distribution of my choice with a full KDE desktop manager. I haven't done that in more than 2 decades. KDE has been wonderful at it's infancy and KDE is still wonderful now.

Since MX Linux is my distribution of choice, it's logical that I installed the KDE version of that distribution even if it's just for a test drive.

I've allocated just 20 gigs for KDE which means it's tight with space but it's still usable for a test run.

One tool I immediately missed was gparted the powerful gnome UI, which puts the precision of partition manipulation at your fingertips, without the chances of making costly mistakes if you don't pay enough attention or are not affluent enough with the commands in your favorite shell.

I missed that tool during the installation of mxKDE because I needed to add partitiond before the installation could proceed I just left Blank Space on an SSD.

Apart from that I can tell you from the initial view that KDE has not just matured, advanced and elevated itself. KDE has become so lightweight in resource usage that it can complete with very Light Desktop managers.

You can still edit your widgets up to & icons almost the pixel. The things that I love about KDE from decades ago are still there and are even more powerful.

Since I started to use KDE when GPU usage on the desktop was not even a thing, you can imagine how fast the DE is now and a period where GPU usage is normal for everything.

Out of the box KDE is already fantastic. Go and see what KDE can be for you, by installing it yourself

@mk30 Reminds me of camping while sculpting, whole summers in France by the river Ceze. One summer there was a #fish that meticulously kept a small bowl in the bank conspicuously shiny-bright, near where our path went down to the water. It wasn't bothered about us, and we watched it fanning small particles and algae away with its iridescent tail whenever we passed by, the whole time we were camped there. I'd love to know who we were neighbours with!
