Reply to comment by mofongo in I may be forced to get a new laptop soon. I'm considering getting something more affordable, that runs smoothly with Linux, and covers my needs. Can you help me out? (Details inside) by An_Old_Big_Tree

I tried elementary and immediately installed KDE over it because it had so many limitations.

For some reason, I never get used to it, no matter how pretty or how many times I try.

I did the same >.<

Wish I had just installed KDE Neon from the start instead of listening to people praising Elementary. Now I have a bunch of buggy Elementary stuff that gets in the way and I'm too lazy to do a fresh install of just KDE. People are always talking up these barebones OS's that are barely functional, I don't get it.

It usually falls on use cases and personal preferences. I'm still in love with puppy linux and its 400x increase in battery life. But it's only useful for me when I'm going to write or do command life stuff on a laptop and may not have an outlet nearby.
