How to improve KDE plasma ? - louson - 05-07-2025
I find KDE plasma quite slow. I've tried XFCE and got a much smoother experience. Unfortunately it requires a lot of work to get a comfy environment.
It's my first experience on KDE and I have not found similar posts on the forum (sorry if it does). So here is a thread to share tips how to improve the KDE plasma experience, what service can be disabled / removed ?
Shall I disable accessibility, kde connect and so on ? (how ?)

Well, I can't speak for the PineTab. But otherwise how I usually speed up KDE is by
1) starting it as a "failsafe" session
2) turning off desktop effects
3) killing akonadi (this gives mixed results. Sometimes huge, sometimes nothing.)
4) turning off strigi (if it's even there)

Strigi is long dead. Baloo is what KDE uses for indexing now.
