Pop Shell can actually be used on other distros. Here’s how: https://support.system76.com/articles/pop-shell/

Yeah, well, I’m not gonna give up my potentially long-living #Fairphone (due to excellent repairability) for a Pixel crafted from rare-earth minerals of dubious origin, just because you’re #shilling it.

they update OS and Webview extremly slow resulting in a very insecure OS.

I’ve recently got monthly updates. The last one from 2024-01-09 containing Android security patches until 12/2023.

KDE fortunately doesn’t have to be a Windows clone. There are several guides available on how to customize the UX / workflow to something completely different. I get what you mean, though, the default UX seems to be at least inspired by Windows.

This is purely anecdotal evidence, but on my 2013 ThinkPad X220 (dual-core i5, 12GB RAM) Plasma “feels” snappier and more responsive than GNOME.

I’d say a benefit is that one can achieve the workflow of GNOME or macOS while having the configurability of KDE at one’s disposal.
