Linux mint. It’s based on Ubuntu but they also snapped out the snaps.

Octopus1348@lemy.lolto Linux@lemmy.ml•Possible to have different desktop folders for different workspaces?41·2 years agoNo. You can just do
sudo apt install kde-minimal
orsudo apt install kde-full
. If you see a popup asking you to select SDDM or GDM, select GDM for GNOME to still have the screen lock function.Then log out, click your user, click on the ⚙️ and select Plasma. Now just log in and you can do this again if you want to go back to GNOME.
You should only hop if you know what you’re missing out on, if you don’t and don’t have any distro-specific problems, it’s just unnecessary. But if you really feel like it and have enough disk space, you can try dual-booting another distro and see which you like better.
I hopped because I wanted immediate updates and easy compiling (AUR) so I picked an Arch-based OS.
Distro hopping is pretty similar to changing instances on Lemmy. If you don’t have a reason, just keep using your current account.
Octopus1348@lemy.lolto Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm addicted to caring for my Linux distro, polishing things, optimising stuff it's so funny! Got some stories like that?1·2 years agoI tried some distros but always went back to Ubuntu and then I settled there. Until like 3 days ago. I installed Parch (basically Arch with a GUI installer) and I think I will stay for the AUR.

archinstall | lolcat
. The configuration part was a little buggy, but let me tell you; it was worth it.

Got some stories like that?1·2 years agoFor people that still care and distrohop, there’s a tool called “konsave” which allows you to save, restore and export specific Plasma customizations (settings included). You only have to reinstall themes you had to install as a package/compiled it.
Create a new Firefox profile, set it as default, then restart Firefox and see if the problem still persists.
