If you look on the forum everyone has problems with KDE breaking all the time
Only KDE users.
People will probably disagree with me but its one of the worst Desktop out there
Only KDE users. I agree. It's not 'one of', it's
the worst DE.
Apart from technical issues I cannot judge, 'cause I don't use it, for my taste KDE is way too bloated. Too many junk installed by default I don't need, nor have a use for, neither want them. Besides a lot of in my eyes useless stuff like those stinky games (people playing things like minesweeper IMO should be guarded by a SWAT team), KDE comes with too much redundancies, like several different texteditors, while I need one. And above all for my taste KDE is way too Windows like. I
hate the look and feel of Windows - it's illogical, redundant, bloated, confused, not intuitive,... - it just sucks. Copying Windows is like copy Heineken.
But that's personal taste.
In my opinion Desktops dont actually make any sense on Freebsd
I wouldn't say that.
I agree insofar that I also learned for myself, I don't need any desktop environment (DE) at all, but I am (way) better served with "just a simple" window manager (WM).
Since for desktop usage of course I prefer a GUI with windows etc., but I don't need all the predefined garbage a DE brings.
I prefer to create my own structure and logic instead familiarizing with another 'one-size-fits-all' boiler suit.
I decide what software I use. And I rather install only what I want in the first place, instead of getting a bunch of junk I don't want by default, then deinstall all of that, and then need to install what I want anyway. (This of course presupposes that one knows what software there is, and what one wants.)
I want to have full control over menus, and taskbars, including to remove every entry up to not have it at all.
I don't want no 'waste paper basket', because I am a mature user who not only does backups but also knows what the deletion of a file means. And when I want to delete a file, I want to delete that file, and not always first having a discussion with my computer every time, if I'm really sure what I'm doing.
I don't want any DE's own texteditor. I want mine.
I don't need no filemanager. I have a shell.
[...]
But that's personal taste, personal style how to work,
and also of course a way of learning, of experience. Those things come with time.
I also didn't start on FreeBSD with my "spartan" WM without filemanager, desktop calculator, GUI media player etc.
This came with time, when I learned: I'm most of the times in a shell anyway, and I can do all those things in the shell faster, better, and more powerful than driving mouse kilometers.
If I wanna know what three times seven is, I simply just need the twentyone, not some GUI toy look like it was a desktop calculator with LCD. Using some shell calculator is way faster (in most cases even more precise) than using some GUI toy.
But again, that's experience and personal taste.
And I also didn't start that way. I also used
for some time. Good recommendation.
But apart from that, I never had any technical problems due updates/new version with the WM I use for over six years.
The more there is, the more can be broken.
