From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use KDE plasma with this plasmoid and this kwin script that I wrote to navigate between apps. Basically, each window is placed in its own virtual desktop, and the plasmoid allows to switch between desktops by sliding the finger on it. It's in a early development phase, so don't expect it to be perfect, but you can give it a try :)
Oh and if your machine isn't too powerful, you can disable baloo (file indexer) if you don't need it
Also KDE Connect and CUPS for security and probably battery. KDE connect needs to be uninnstalled or an empty desktop starter with
touch ~/.local/share/applications/kdeconnectd.desktopafaik.Cups is a systemd service so
sudo systemctl disable --now cups.service && systemctl mask cups.servicerevert that with unmask and enable respectively. Cups is also as big security risk as Printers suck, printing from USB sticks is often a better solution.pcmanfm-qt is a good replacement for Dolphin which is way slimmer and runs on Wayland natively, its simply the best filemanager for KDE or similar systems apart from Dolphin.
Debloating Fedora KDE is very much needed, Kinoite doesnt need to be.
I didnt test Video players but Celluloid is a modern MPV GUI that supports Wayland (literally the only video player it seems).
Browser have to be all fine because they are both pretty hard on resources.
