Neat. I recently decided to move my oldest laptop from Ubuntu Server, which I eventually installed KDE on to do some things, straight into NixOS. I thought, "hey, if I only needed my KDE environment sometimes, I can just switch config." A weird thing happened in that my system is way faster now for some reason.

I don't know what was going on with my Ubuntu setup, but even when it was just a TTY, the stutter can be pretty bad. There's likely some other issues with the hardware - RAM stick, SATA SSD, the fan, or the chip's thermal paste (possibility combination of all of them AND aging factor). But KDE wasn't the issue, it's hella lightweight actually.

Regardless, it's good to have a laptop with a decent KDE session. I'm going to be moving my ROG Ally from Bazzite to hopefully (in order of preference) NixOS, SteamOS, or CachyOS as well - depending on if I couldn't figure out the previous ones - all using KDE of course.
