All good, but I think it’s really often a misconception that a DE like KDE, which is big and brings tons of features, must be more ressource intensive than a (feature wise) smaller DE. Which, as the benchmarks show, is surprisingly not the case.
Look on phoronix for benchmarks. Plasma consumes less RAM and CPU than even XFCE.
Also new people are still motivated to change stuff. They are not yet worn down by bureaucracy.
I explained it in the remaining thread/post: technical issues. Sorry for the noise.
Haha, that made me exhale faster than usual.
(I deleted the duplicates now… and I’ll be more careful with retry behaviors.)

Someone here on Lemmy highlighted that quite nicely when Valve dropped their Half Life documentary. Valve embraces their past. They cherish it. They still maintain their old games to honor their success.
Epic on the other hand completely wiped old Unreal titles from the relevant stores and don’t give a fuck about supporting any of them. Which is a shame. Also I admire the tech behind of modern Unreal engines, so there are still geniuses at work who are likely passionate. Too bad they essentially only ride the Fortnite train outside their engine development.
