KDE is minimalistic?! Granted it’s been a very long time since using it, but I’d say Fluxbox or i3wm are minimalistic, KDE…not so much.
Not hating on it at all, just musing.
Well, its style is relatively minimalistic. It does still have lots of features + settings. Obviously, in terms of resource usage, compared to Fluxbox or i3wm, it still uses a lot, but compared to Windows, it’s a breeze.
