KDE offers the integration that I expect from a desktop. Plasma was way ahead of others, when it came to management of

* audio, including Bluetooth

* network

* display

Unfortunately, little care is taken on security.

KDE Wallet simply offers an API to all your passwords, without any separation. Users cannot tell which application just accessed the "wallet". Certificate warnings randomly pop up, asking for "yes" or "no" without any explaination. Plasma "integration" will ask you for full access to your Google account, but it is unclear what for. The calendar integration will require separate authentication -- to the calendar only.

I think Linux desktops were ahead of others, some years ago, but right now I struggle to recommend it to anyone.
