> especially disappointed with the clusterfuck KDE has become...

Can you elaborate? I'm on Plasma 5 and quite satisfied with it, though my use of KDE applications has constantly declined over the years. (Which has nothing to do with KDE specifically, just with my workflow becoming more and more CLI-centric over the years.)

I was a bit surprised by that line as well. I mean of course KDE is going to be behind GNOME in general since it is a bit more volunteer centric with less corporate funding, but I don't think it's in bad shape at all, and it is my preferred desktop environment. Many individual KDE projects are open-source gems. (Krita, Kdenlive, Dolphin, KDE Connect)

KDE Connect is easily the one desktop application that adds the most value for me in day-to-day use, on the scale of "How could I ever live without this?"

(Although it would be nicer if it were a desktop-agnostic "Linux Connect", but the sad state of XDG means that this might never happen.)
