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.

Any KDE Plasma themes that have more padding like GNOME? (lemmy.world)

I moved to KDE for better gaming support, but I really dislike the condensed look of everything in the settings app, discover, and most of all in Dolphin.

Are there any discrete, simple, clean themes that have more padding ? I like how GNOME looks but I really dislike their slow development for gaming related stuff.

In my experience, theming KDE Plasma is an absolute no-go. Not only do the themes themselves just look off, but the desktop feels so much clunkier. Themes also ruin consistency on Plasma, making certain windows look like patchwork.

On the other hand, Breeze (Plasma's default theme) does grow on you. It's like Plasma has some weird spell about it, once it even caused me to prefer light mode! Gah :O

Somewhat unrelated, but by the sounds of it gaming is a focus for you considering the DE jump. I've had the best gaming experience on a distro called Nobara, I think they started shipping Plasma by default for the same reasons you switched. Could be worth taking a look at, if you aren't familiar with it. Obviously it's a perfectly good day-to-day distro too, it's based off Fedora and follows their release schedule closely.

Yeah. This has also been my experience. Theming Plasma just ruins the experience. It's true that it's the most customizable, but actually customizing it just breaks the experience lol
