Good work getting through arch installer, it can be tricky too. I've been on arch for like 10 years and still don't think anything else is better.

Not everything is as snappy as I'd like it to be yet. Maybe KDE Plasma is not the best for my 12 year old system. Been thinking I should have gone with the zen kernel.

But I'm having tons of fun while discovering it nonetheless.

Plasma needs a decent graphics card so that's probably why. You can disable a lot of the effects in the control panel though but it may not help.

I guess the fastest desktop is xfce otherwise, it's so fast that apps launches instantaneously. Reminds me of how fast computers can actually be without eye candy.

You can easily install and try it on arch to see if you like it. Good instructions in arch wiki as usual.
