    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.

    It’s not always the case, but it’s often the case

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

        I remeber using plasma on a weak 2016 160 usd laptop with no issue in 2018, I can only imagine how much better is now
