Slow KDE in Arch Linux
Hi
I was a die hard kde fan. When kde 4 was released, it was bloated and slow, and forced me to switch to gnome. When gnome 3 was released, it was also bloated and slow and forced me to switch to mate. Mate was not fulfilling my needs due to its simplicity so I switched to cinnamon, my current desktop.
Meanwhile, kde 5 was released and everyone is praising this 5th release of kde. Moreover, many surveys showed that kde is again #1 desktop in terms of users. I tried kde 5 many times but its still slow on my i5 laptop with 8GB ram. Even though I had disabled the desktop effects and whistles but still no use. Then I came across a forum post and among the answers, one strike me, which said:
Quote:
Maybe your distro includes those effects, whistles, background services etc. making your kde slow.

I think the same thing is happening here with me in arch linux. So my question is that can you recommend me a native kde distro which is not bloated with all those heavy effects, whistles, background services etc. and also and fast?
Regards
