I’ve almost successfully convinced my girlfriend to ditch Windows, so I’ll probably install kubuntu on her laptop soon. She uses the pc only for very basic operations, web browsing, office suite and a little bit of gaming.
I wanted to customize KDE Plasma so that the switch from Windows will be the simpler as possible. What customization would you suggest me?

    Thanks for the answer! I was thinking of Mint too (although I didn’t know about the debian edition, very cool), but I don’t like much the Cinnamon’s GUI, while I literally love the KDE one

    Yeah lf course the customization should be done by the user, but I was thinking about a “first customization” to allow her to find a comfortable place. Do you think Cinnamon could be easier to use?

      KDE is better for having Wayland at this point, but I’ve heard even many experienced users saying the settings menu is exhausive to set up things as you like.

      I think Cinnamon vs KDE is not an ideal topic to debate, since they’re completely different.

      If you prefer KDE, then go for it. Use it with Wayland only to avoid the typical first time user problems with multiple screens, screen tearing etc.

        I’d rather install her KDE also because I’m used to it, so for any technical question she may ask I probably have better chances to solve the problem

        thanks!
