I would like to collect some opinions of Plasma users, just for fun, to get a better image. poll poll A big cause of issues that only occur on the user’s side is “changing settings away from the default”.

I don't have a stable experience with Plasma.
I also find a lot of the defaults frustrating.
One example is no easy option to replicate Windows / Gnome window management shortcuts. I want to be able to super + down to always minimize.
That said I would love for a focus on stability.
Yes me too. For me they are mostly:
- the useless start animation (it is not an overlay but just delays the system start)
- the panel, "icons only taskbar" using middleclick to spawn another window, while I want to close
- the sounds
- the touchpad not being "natural scrolling" · the system monitor not starting with the page didsplaying running programs, and having a warning message when closing an app (like, you only do this in edge cases where it might be time critical)
- set animation speed to fastest
- set Konsole, Dolphin and okular to always use tabs instead of windows (konsole needs a modded desktop entry for that)
- extend the screen lock duration, reduce the screen turnoff duration, remove the dim duration
- set power profiles to auto switch depending on charging state
- enable some effects, disable some others
- disable baloo at it is a crashy memory hog causing tons of trouble for reasons that dont make sense
- enable full tememitry
- disable the tiling editor and possible workspaces, to save resources?
- change keyboard shortcut for "print" to select rectagle selection in spectacle
- some different standard programs (like Gapless, SimpleScan and Celluloid instead of Elisa, Skanpage and Haruna/Dragonplayer)
- disable floating panel and adaptive opacity
