      With that in mind, I LOVE how lean and fast some FOSS apps/projects are. One of my motivations to go searching for FOSS alternatives is when something seems slow for no reason.

        KDE Plasma has been getting so much more efficient with every release that you can almost recommend it for low-end systems.
