Great write up, thanks!

You can use the bangs !arch or !aw to search the arch wiki, e.g. !aw kde.

I don't think dash to dock is a must have extensiom. The workflow of GNOME is different to other opersting systems. That's why GNOME boots into overview and not the desktop. The overview is there to launch an app or switch to it graphically. When you boot the system the first thing would be to go into overview to launch an app, hence it boots directly into overview. Removing dash from overview defeats the purpose of it.

But "hot bottom" is important otherwise you have to move the mouse into the upper left corner in order to move the mouse to the bottom to launch an app which is nuts.

I don't like the philosophy of "if they do it, it's safe". But I couldn't explain it in one sentence either. Not only debian but all big distros have systemd. Not having systemd is such a nieche that you shouldn't bother with it as a beginner.

Snaps. You don't provide info why snaps are bad. The snap store is centralized and canonical controls every part of it. Moreover, I've never read that snaps are reproducible. Flatpaks are technically reproducible. And we all want and need reproducible builds because then we don't have to trust but know that it's the original and published source code.

nice! but I hate that I cycle through tabs with CTRL and have to switch to Alt for pins.

I just discovered that you can pin tabs, which means that they are always loaded when you open firefox. This is a game changer for me. Whenever I open firefox, all my most visited tabs are automatically loaded and there's no loading time anymore. Of course I still need rules for cookie autodelete but it's awesome!

e.g. you can create a shortcut for about:config

that is incredible, 5% of all swedish households are using illegal iptv. really, that number makes me doubt the whole study - but I don't live in sweden, maybe that's how it is.

good question, I don't know. I should've posted a review of all the themes that are too buggy to use instead of that overview

do you have a numpad? wouldn't that make more sense? I usually use the numpad to assign the position of a window. meta+7 is in the upper left corner, meta+6 is on the right, etc. but it would work with workspaces as well

I really like that you found a way to utilize the virtual desktop grid. I really love the idea and I can't wait for plasma 6 to improve upon it but right now I haven't used it much.

you wrote that it's hard to reach meta+9 (win+9) but if you have a numpad and use both hands it doesn't really matter which number you want to reach. It's always the same distance away. file browser is always at meta+1, browser is at meta+2, etc. I can't move up and down like you can but I don't have to. Even if I hadn't have a numpad, I'd still have two hands and meta+9 wouldn't be too far away.

In short, I guess I want to say that I have found my way and I really appreciate your write up about your way but to me it sounds too complicated. Moreover, the task manager (kde, not windows. different things) is just a mouse move away and I can reach any app I want to. Moreover, Plasma Drawer is reachable within a meta click and has all apps. It's not yet as good as GNOME's but it's getting there.

Plasma 6 is approaching fast

I'm on istilldontcareaboutcookies and cookie autodelete. Who cares if they save cookies for the session?

I'm in the same boat but the future is distant and there are still a lot of stones blocking the way
