Well I installed bookworm with Plasma on Saturday, replacing Fedora Workstation (GNOME), having heard great things about plasma 5.27.

The first 3 days at work were a bit troublesome, because I was met with a lot of slowdowns, some heavy swap use, and my usual workflow was very disrupted.

I'm not sure exactly, but plasma + kmail + akregator + my 2 browsers (pro and personal stuff) + slack + telegram were too much to handle on 8GB of RAM apparently, when the same computer was handling the same load with gnome (thunderbird instead of kmail) no problem.

So anyway, I knew this wasn't debian per say, so I pulled my good old i3 config file, installed i3wm and thunderbird, ditched plasma and everything is running great now.
