    KDE has a really nice suite of applications and utilities. No other desktop environment really compares on that level (and Amarok is back!).

    XFCE &etc are also good if you are running lightweight hardware (not just old hardware) but still want a desktop environment.

    CLI is best for servers and remotely managed/headless systems.

      KDE has crazy complex apps like Krita, digiKam, KDEnlive, Kate, Konqueror, etc etc.

      They went more minimal and dedicated over time

      Amarok -> Elisa, Kasts

      Konqueror -> Dolphin, Falkon/“just use Firefox”

      I dont get why we have Gwenview, Kolourpaint, Spectacle edit and digiKam though, this feels absurd

      and Amarok is back

      Was Amarok gone?

      I used to use it maybe 16-17 years ago even though I used GNOME rather than KDE. It was the best music player I’d found on Linux.

      I’m finally switching back to Linux so I’ll have to try it out again! These days I usually use Plexamp though.
