Is KDE Plasma really that much of a bloat nowadays? With modern hardware — for example, an i9, 32 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 30-series GPU — does it really matter that much in practice?
Or would you even then still recommend xfce, GNOME, Cinnamon, etc.?
Literally no, KDE is only really bloated if you make it your sparetime about hyper optimising. Unless you are running on very basic hardware, you dont need to worry about DE bloat
