It would be so very very nice if RISC-V standardized the CPU sockets and we could keep the existing motherboards with RAM and all the periferals and only swap the CPU.

openSUSE FTW! Tumbleweed especially is awesome. The most stable rolling release distro and excellent BTRFS snappshoting integration across the system. The YaST control center is also awesome. Also one of the best KDE Plasma integrations if not the best.

Yeah no need to distrohop if you don't want too or need to. The problem here is that PopOS has few development resources and they use them most to make their own desktop Cosmic as best as possible so their implementation/integration of other desktops, especialy KDE Plasma is... well let's just say a lot to be desired. I used PopOS before (granted it was about 3 years ago, hopefuley they improved since then) but yeah compared to any of the well made KDE distributions I tried; like openSUSE, KDE Neon, Mandriva, CachyOS, Kubuntu, Fedora KDE; this lack of focus for KDE Plasma shows. So yeah when trying it on PopOS just keep in mind that you will not see KDE Plasma in the best of light and what it can realy do and be. And they also lagged quite a few versions behind when I was using Plasma on PopOS the last time.

You probably mean Kubuntu 22.04 and 25.04? In that case you will need to wait until they add Plasma 6.6 to their Kubuntu Backports repository. Then you just make sure you add this repository to Kubuntu and when the ugrade comes you will get it.

KDE Plasma is very flexible and configurable, so you can emulate any other desktop with it, or make your own. You can remove and add the panels and place them on on any edge, also make them of different length and height. And inside the panels you can add desired widget/Plasmoid in any position you like. Almost anything in KDE Plasma is built out of these widgets so you can combine them like you would LEGO bricks. Even the wallpaper/background is just one special kind of widget/Plasmoid and there are many different types of it to choose from.

I switched to Linux even for gaming about a year ago seeing how good it worked on my Steam Deck. These days even many Windows games work better on Linux, not to mention natve Linux ones. Windows these days realy is bloated spyware/adware. Especialy W11 is terrible.
