Hey guys,

I’ve been using Linux for ~1 year 1/2 and Debian for between 1 year & 6 months (not sure exactly, doesn’t really matter). As I’ve come from Ubuntu, I wanted to change desktop environment from Gnome, I tested a few of those that are native to Debian (idk if native is the correct word but those that are included from the start), and ended up with KDE Plasma.

Though now I kinda want to switch back to Gnome because it still looks nice honestly. But then someone told me to put Sway or I3 instead (I’m on wayland so probably Sway) and I’ve looked into it and discovered windows managers, and it looks nice as well lol especially Sway and other tiling windows mangers.

So now idk which one to choose lol, also I can change my mind anytime and go back to KDE so it’s not really a big decision but I wanted more input, and yall opinions too.

I have AMD so Sway’s NVIDIA incompatibility is not a problem for me.

Also, I’m on Wayland currently with KDE Plasma but I have no idea if I use x11 applications too or not (supposedly with XWayland).

Btw, it’s a laptop i use and not a full pc, and it’s my only computer, i do basic stuff on it like browsing, programming, watching videos, and i also do gaming and i need something that will not use all my resources so that said-resources can go in games instead lol.
