• I agree with the general sentiment, though KDE’s apps do have some real performance issues.

    Dolphin sometimes takes 2-5 seconds to open on my gaming PC, whereas Nautilus (Gnome Files) is usually done before I’ve even let go of the click.

    Maybe that’s just preloading, but it makes a bloody enormous difference in everyday usage.

    I prefer Plasma overall, though.

      You might need to look into this more.

      It opens instantly on my gaming desktop, Microsoft Surface 7 Pro, and ASUS ROG Strix

      Hmm, Dolphin takes about 0.5 seconds on my laptop. Might be that worth debugging on your system, even if it is some bug that your specific system triggers.
