My first foray into Linux was Mint. I'm glad I did, because it's a reasonably friendly entry point, but coming from macOS, Cinnamon began to feel quite cramped quite quickly. The end result is that my server machine is running Mint, but the other computers I have (with the exception of my M2 Air Macbook), are all running Kubuntu with Plasma.

I'm sure that I should prefer Gnome, because I'm a Mac guy, but I just can't get on with it. So Plasma it is.
