Subject: Re: Debian desktops (Re: SUSE Linux Days Road Tour)
I had some really odd issues with using gnome/unity or anything
gtk-based on an asus ultrabook I had my work get me, that finally I
resorted to trying KDE. It was actually pretty decent, and have been
meaning to try it again on here. It had some usability quirks I just
couldn't figure out that annoyed me though (like a terminal window
opening and shrinking to a 5x5 vty console).

I've been sticking to mate as a non-compositing desktop, as it tends to
aggravate my video drivers (damn ati), but I've installed KDE to try on
here too. Maybe this weekend with some downtime.

Last time I tried it with 6 displays, it really didn't like it, but
having 2 going at work with nvidia chip seemed to be somewhat ok. I
agree however, it has come a long way from the 3.x days that plasma was
a basketcase.

Thanks for the input everyone!
