When CPUs were a lot slower you could genuinely get noticeable performance improvements by compiling packages yourself, but nowadays the overhead from running pre-compiled binaries is negligible.

Hell, even Gentoo optionally offers binary packages now.

That’s easy, just pick btrfs, gnome, pipewire, systemd, gdm, grub, and add flatpak in your additional packages.

Every other configuration is wrong.

Ironically most of my customization so far has been to make it more like Gnome lmao

Still trying to figure out how to make workspaces/virtual desktops more…usable.

Overall though it’s amazing how solid Plasma is now, it sure as hell isn’t the buggy mess it used to be in the earlier Plasma 5 days.

One of my clients at work has this IT guy with a furry profile picture on Zoom.

I assumed it was a mistake, people join with dumb pictures/names sometimes, but no. He never changed it in any of our meetings.

And then I looked at his account in our software, which allows users to upload their own photo, and he put a different furry picture there. A strictly work related account, that only his coworkers and us can see.

And you know what, I respect it.
