From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm new to the world of Linux as a main OS, and I ran Mint for a while, wanted to try KDE Plasma, installed and ran it on mint for a while and blew away mint for a distro with KDE Plasma once I knew it's what I wanted.
To say I had jank is an understatement.
How do you mean? And did switching distros fix it?
Also, out of curiosity, what did you go with and how do you like it?
I'm currently running KDE on Mint (Cinnamon is nice but limited and had some issues for me), but I've considered trying something else...
I switched to Tuxedo. It solved some weird stability issues I had, which were mostly monitor resolution and layout issues.
