    One of these days, I will switch to KDE.

    My OS paradigm started off as a super-lightweight desktop around Openbox, but more and more I got forced to pull in Gnome dependencies to the point that I switching those to KDE dependencies probably wouldn’t make a dent in performance.

    Speaking of which, what’s KDE’s mail client like?

      The performance impact of these systems really aren’t a problem for most modern computers. If your computer is running other GUI applications, I think worrying about that is insane. If you’re running a server, sure keep it minimal because you aren’t going to interact with it directly much. For your desktop if you’re running games and stuff, it’s going to be the smallest of your issues. Just do what feels best.

      Even Valve, optimizing their handheld device for maximum battery life, includes KDE. You shouldn’t worry about it probably.

        Thanks. Does it support multiple accounts? How are remote calendars & contacts integrated into KDE generally, or kmail specifically?

          Kmail has its quirks, but I actually find it quite nice to use, especially with multiple accounts because it distinguish explicitly between IMAP accounts, SMTP accounts and identities.

          Integration with contacts and calendars is quite smooth as well. KDE PIM suite is well integrated in Plasma in general.
