Plasma is heavy, if you wanted a light system xfce was the way to go.
Cinnamon is not that demanding and looks good.
Thing is kde is really heavy.
>>53714175
manjaro a shit
but your RAM problem is caused by KDE
go for a lighter DE (MATE, Xfce, etc)
also, prefer /sqt/ and /flt/ for these issues.
>>53714303
cinnamon be bootyful
>>53714661
I didn't ask for help, just stating how bad it is.
And my "problem" isn't that much related to ram usage (I can live with it damn..)
It's that Plasma fucking crashed less than half an hour after fresh install. How's this supposed to be any viable!?
>>53715043
KDE is not viable. Hasn't been in a decade.
Gnome, about the same thing. They took a step in the right direction at the cost of performance. Then they took features away.

The devs don't actually use it, they use macbooks
>>53715151
Is there any wonder? I would, too.
Here ya go OP
Manjaro + Xfce4
on ThinkPad T60p
>>53715151
I liked KDE, but Plasma is still in the early stages.
And OP, if you want something more lightweight that looks the same, LXQt has a bunch of the KDE Plasma themes included.

Kek'd well

KDE5 is pretty new. If you want stable use 4.
>>53715376
KDE4 has a shitton of bugs that still aren't fixed even in current 5. It's laughably sad.
>>53715390
>stable
We talkin bout arch aren't we?
>>53715440
Arch is much more stable than the meme suggests, don't be a dunce
>>53715512
you're right, take it as the pun it is intended to be ;)
I still maintain, however, that defaulting to bleeding edge introduces bugs
>kde
>manjaro
stick to based arch+xfce lad
also check my dubs
>>53715552
>>I still maintain, however, that defaulting to bleeding edge introduces bugs
But at least you get bugfixes much faster. From my experience, I've actually faced more (non-system breaking ofc) bugs on Debian stable than on my virtualbox Arch install, because outdated software crap. Also upstream devs seem to listen more to bug reports from bleeding edge distro users, or at least to me it seems like it.

Some people think a couple of documented bugs are better and more reliable than a multitude of potential unknown ones.
>>53715611
xfce is buggier
