I wish I installed Plasma on my Ubuntu sooner (lemmy.ca)

Just installed KDE Plasma on my Ubuntu system to replace GNOME and Wayland. Mainly to get rid of an issue where my games would lose mouse lock, but now I can have two different wallpapers on both monitors and have a clock on my second monitor which is AWESOME.

I WISH I INSTALLED IT SOONER, I LOVE IT.

Yeah, I have. It’s a huge improvement over 5. I use it on my virtual machines, since flinging the mouse into the corner isn’t really an option there, I just can’t get used to it on my main machine.

Plasma has mouse corner stuff, I always turn it off because I will forget that it's on and accidentally trigger something, but it's there and ready to bind to your actions!

Yeah, I meant that I don’t use Gnome on my virtual PCs, because it’s not as easy without the mouse corner stuff. KDE is easy even without the mouse corner stuff.

I misread the same way and I've been awake for about 120 seconds
