I have found things to work better natively. I use only gnome on my Zorin PC and Kde on my Kubuntu. I also found XFCE not faster than gnome in Z 16 when I tried it earlier, but when I tried it (Z Lite) using a bootable usb It had lightning speed.

Yeh .... I've been tempted to try Z Lite but with all the folders ... files .... desktops and theme materials I'm not so sure it would remain Lite for very long ....
Here's a screenshot of my Zorin drive ... LOL
And I'm downloading more theme stuff as we speak .... LOL
Maybe i am stupid but wat should we see in these 3 pictures ?????

Running Solus Plasma on my older laptop and it's smooth, cool, and fast as compared to Win 10. This is my first extended try of KDE in all my years on Linux. I chose Solus because it's been a very stable rolling release for me and I was tired of distro hopping on that computer.

Guys, I didn't find Solus good in any way. I used it's GNOME version, it started giving me boot errors and then I tried Solus Budgie. It was looking beautiful but was not able to install it whatsoever. Solus Plasma had a few bugs, decided to leave it. Currently using Fedora 35 and KDE Neon 5.23.4
I agree that eopkg package manager is somewhat good, but it's confusing. I love 'apt' and 'DNF' package manager. Simple and very detailed 
. Their forums are good, but people take a TON of time to respond. I remember that when I has problem with Solus GNOME, I posted the issue and got a reply after many days. The good thing is that the OS Founder also reply people, which assures the person having the issue that the solution mentioned by the founder might be correct.
Have not used Fedora , but tried Neon and found it buggy and was disappointed because all great reviews I'd seen . Probably just a hardware at the root of it all. I ran Solus Budgie with out issue on the same computer before having to put Win 10 back on.

However it worked super nice in my computer. Try Fedora, you would love it. Have you tried KDE Neon 25th Anniversary Edition?
Have you tried KDE Neon 25th Anniversary Edition?
That is the version I tried, I'll put in a VM and give it a go again.

Hahah, can't do anything to it then 
Got it running , but working on saving screen resolution settings. Behaving differently than other distros. Can't get Neon to save a resolution setting like other distros , reverts to 800 x 600 immediately.
If you want a speedy lightweight DE then give LXQt a whirl with KWin. It uses KDE libraries and definitely not slow. Then again I do have 16 Gb RAM available.
What does that mean? Please explain. I have been itching to try out lxqt.
KDE uses Qt libraries so no conflict if you have KDE installed.

Hmm do you know if we can use kde themes in lxqt? I heard that lxqt and kde are very similar.
