After 2 years using the same desktop for editing, running #Fedora and #GNOME, I made a big switch:
- first, I replaced both my desktop and my laptop with one single laptop for both use cases
- I moved to #KDE plasma
- I switched distros!
Here is the whole new setup, how I configured KDE, and how everything works!

@39c11d1e Can understand the switch to #kde but why do you move away from #fedora ?
@39c11d1e WHOA. This is indeed surprising! Especially the move to KDE (not that I'll disagree -- I love KDE).
@39c11d1e the comments on that video are.. interesting.
Though a good video as usual.
@39c11d1e Why is it that always someone presents me with KDE Plasma and shows the setup I always feel like "yeah, but why?".
Please dont get me wrong - it's your setup, you need to be productive and feel good on it but for example the "add a 'hide windows icon' to see the widgets on the desktop to catch the moment before the PC struggles" feels kind of painful extra work to do.
@39c11d1e now, you will like snap packages and not flatpack anymore! What a change! I was never able to work with kde. I like the dessign, but... I never get able to configure it as I wish. I always loved gnome!
@39c11d1e Did you consider the Framework 16? It's not out yet but it may have been worth a wait for the upgradability and the environment. I'm curious if you looked into and if so, why you chose the Tuxedo instead!
@39c11d1e That Tuxedo control centre is wild, how you can control the number of CPUs and frequency for different profiles. Never seen anything like that on a laptop before. So cool.
@39c11d1e thanks Nick, this was the laptop review I've been waiting for, for like 1y !! Much appreciated.
