KDE is great but also very, very buggy. I'm using it since 2016 and some bugs just won't go away and good luck with openeing a bug report - nobody will care. Especially multi monitor support just isn't good. Multi window support is also, by default, not as good as Windows does it. Sicne a few updates I'm getting some polciykit errors everytime I'm doing anything session related just because - I have not found a solution since then.

I use KDE daily, including a multi-monitor setup, and it is not buggy in my experience. Like, at all, much less "very, very." I wonder why we have had such different experiences? I'm using Fedora.

Maybe he's using an older KDE release or on a not-first-class distro which doesn't ship with it out of the box, like Mint.

Debian (stable) user here. I'm also scratching my head trying to understand what bugs you find on KDE. Or what kind of multi-monitor or window behavior you have a problem with when compared to Windows. (Isn't the default window behavior basically equal to Windows? I have never notice a difference in anything that I didn't change myself.)

I too think you were unlucky on your combination of hardware-distro-setup in some unusual way.

HiDPI is not perfect neither in KDE (arguably, better situation)not in Gnome, compared to Win 11. When your enable scaling, window's context menu (left click on menu) is not scaled in debian 12 and Ubuntu, irrespective of environment variables (PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 and such). In Wayland (which solves many scaling problems) KDE renders fonts blurrier than in X11. For many it is not a big deal, but not is not acceptible for me. Gnome apps are not properly caled unless the scale is bigger than 175%, and then they are too big (overscaled).

I still use KDE though.

Use Manjaro, KDE focused arch linuxes, they have latest KDE , I am using KDE dedicated Linuxes ( Gentoo, arch) and past 5 years is a blast for KDE. Much stable.for WM I am using QTile because it have best tiling wm that works with KDE application
