Plasma kept crashing my system after waking it up from suspend. I tried fresh installs twice, with different revisions of graphics drivers. Plus, I had to install a bunch of crap from github just for my games to work properly. Lighting issues, texture issues. The mouse wouldn't stay captured to one monitor in Fallout 4. Mint with Cinnamon just worked out of the box for me.
Did you remember to sacrifice a pigeon?
You know, upon further reflection, I'm pretty sure my issues stemmed from Wayland. Plasma was a very nice DE, and I think I'd probably like it fine without Wayland.
I supspectered as much. Wayland support is better now. For me at least.
Oh man, that must have been where I went wrong. I used a seagull, but I forgot that was for gnome.
