>I am looking into virtual box right now to test it.
Please don't. It runs like ass in Virtualbox. Get a flash drive, make a live usb, boot that up instead, you don't have to install it to use it. For such a newcomer I'd say go for Linux Mint instead.

I so wish KDE got good with design, defaults and stability. Breeze has to go, it is very bad stick figure minimalism (what more to expect from unemployed gay artist who treated it as a personal portfolio project) Gnome is pure horror. Alas, not happening. KDE has to go and new desktop made.
Sorry but KDE is glitchy as shit
I switched to cinnamon on arch because every time my screen slept and woke up it would be stuck at 30% brightness (but said 100%) until I manually adjusted it slightly

Arch Linux just works and thanks to AUR you can install almost any package on it.

Xorg overcame the problems XFree86 had. If anything, it did most for the Linux desktop. >Krashing is dead meme. KDE is stable now.
This statement simply doesn't match with observable reality. Also, why would KDE suddenly become stable? >Arch Linux just works and thanks to AUR you can install almost any package on it.
This statement doesn't actually say anything. You could modify it to praise any other distro.

what do you mean by "crashing"
I literally have not had it crash once, the only time I had problems is when I started using linux in general and didn't know what the frick I was doing so I sudo'd my way into making the whole system unstable. In other words, skill issue.
I've noticed a rise of dumb Arch shills. They come along with Wayland shills.
Wayland isn't bad at all, it just needs 20 more years to get ready for the desktop. Anyone actually interested in a good Linux desktop should work to improve Xorg, which is less effort.
>which is less effort
There's definitely been a lot of legacy code bases that I've worked with that would have been much easier to rewrite than try to "fix" or "improve". It's weird, there seems to be so many people that claim to understand X at a deep technical level but no one actually doing much with it.

Everyone thinks that at first, and then things like Gayland happen. Sometimes, rewrites are successful and absolutely necessary, but usually they cause extra problems.

>everyone thinks that at first and then things like gayland happen
My experience using Wayland with a specific compositor has been better than my experience using X. Take it for what you will, but that's just how the cookie crumbled. For some reason tearfree just wouldn't work for me, I always had horrible tearing in any kind of application with smooth scrolling or even in emacs just moving down some lines. There are some bad parts of X, having a compositor on the side (like picom, which performs horribly compared to any wayland compositor) is one of them. A proper, performant compositor provided as a standard implementation using a vulkan back-end would change that completely. Better yet, handle it like compositors do in wayland so you can remove those extra GPU->GPU copies. I'd also love something similar to pipewire for capturing windows in a program like OBS. It's so smooth and fast, and if I move something to a different desktop/workspace it doesn't stop rendering. Honestly a lot of things in wayland compositors just _feel_ faster, smoother, maybe this isn't because of wayland but because of how the rewritten compositors/wms handle things.

Old code is valuable. Messy code is valuable. You obviously need to improve it and keep it maintainable, but "it looks bad" often means it has a ton of hidden value. WHEN YOU THROW AWAY OLD CODE, YOU THROW AWAY DECADES OF BUGFIXES AND PERFORMANCE TRICKS
this is a tale as old as time. rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, every time with a different model. and every time it becomes even less successful than the humble mature code

>YOU THROW AWAY DECADES OF BUGFIXES AND PERFORMANCE TRICKS
Yeah no. Of course writing new code is going to lead to new bugs, that's just the nature of programming when you are only human, it's impossible to account for everything. The old code had bug fixes for bugs the old code produced, or didn't account for at the outset either. Performance tricks though, often if they were around they existed under the context of very different hardware. They may not be relevant anymore, or even slow down the operation of the program. There is is also a matter of design philosophy and architecture. A good programmer today, who values performance, is generally going to do a better job than a good programmer of the past. We simply have more knowledge to work off of now (provided you have actually worked on things of technical value). We have better APIs and ABIs, better hardware and better tools.

For me plasma 5.27 + X11 was better than plasma 6 + wayland, but it'll eventually get there at some point with enough updates.
