      I’ve had several freedesktop issues with dbus, certain black screen crashes on desktops that require deleting .kde and other such annoyances.

      Nothing major, just recurring issues.

      This is from a 100-150 client environment.

      Previous workplace was smaller but used gnome. Had more pebcak than actual issues.

        Sounds like Ubuntu underneath your Plasma. I’ve had the exact same experience when using Neon, Kubuntu, and Ubuntu+KDE. I install any non-Ubuntu based distro with KDE (like openSUSE) and whiz bang everything is working again.

          Really? Hmm… yet another excuse to move away from Ubuntu. I’ll take it up with my manager.

          Cheers!

      The last time I tried it it crashed just from moving the panel around on the desktop. After a reboot it didn’t do it again. Plasma just does odd things like that sometimes.

      And if you used Plasma 4 all the way up to around Plasma 5.15/5.16, Plasma was practically unusable due to instability. It’s why Plasma stopped being the default DE of choice and Gnome took over.

      Plasma has improved a lot over the past year or two in particular, but it’s not close to as stable as, say, Gnome or Cinnamon.
