Whether you are into casual, retro or AAA #gaming, KDE has something for you 🎮🎲!
I recently learned about Sysrq + f to kill running processes making the computer hang. Before finding about this I had to manually restart the PC via power button. I wonder if KDE should make it easier to enable this feature considering they have something to kill processes already but it’s less powerful than Sysrq.
Weird page
I agree. It's bragging about a bunch of things that either aren't part of KDE or aren't really gaming. It's like if MS made a "Gaming on Windows" page to advertise solitaire, minesweeper, pinball, and Steam.
If Microsoft had 3% market share on Steam, they probably would

Newbies for what though? I'd be surprised a Linux newbie would find themselves on this page, I'm not really sure who this is for
If I was a newbie shopping around for a DE, I would probably be perusing websites like kde.org to get a feel for the visual style and features and such
Yeah, this kinda gives the impression of this old stereotypical Linux image as a gaming platform where we all just play Tux Racer and weird Solitaire clones.
Kpatience for the win!
"Here's KDE on the Steam Deck! On Manjaro. For some reason…"
Kde is so bloat there's no chance gamers with optimization in mind will choose it.
I've been using it for a long time. I've personally found that there is essentially no impact on gaming performance–or if there is, it's so slight that it's totally negligible on midrange hardware, especially with feral gamemode. It might be more impactful on low spec PCs, I would assume, but I'm not sure of that. In my case, it's plenty lightweight and offers lots of customizability.
Can confirm. Used it early on (around Suse 7.3) and it took ages to compile and was bloated and buggy as heck. I switched to WindowMaker and never really looked back. Recently gave it a whirl on steamdeck and was pretty shocked at how polished and nice it is. If you haven’t given it a fair shake recently, you might be surprised.
Plasma is more lightweight than GNOME in terms of resource usage, so… (I use a tiling window manager, btw)
I used to feel that way as well, but things have changed and improved quite a bit.
Seems that way
