I've scoured opendesktop, store.kde.org and gnome-look but the themes rarely mention the resolutions supported (or look good with). It's time consuming and there's every chance that some support it but don't say they do.

Is there somewhere that allows filtering for resolution?

Feel free to show off your choice in themes and where you got it.

I've been looking at store.kde.org and gnome-look but they don't have a resolution search so some themes might look good, others look rubbish.

Do you have any recommendations for which themes might work better, or if there's somewhere specifically for the higher res/uw screens?

Hi there!

I'm more familiar with/prefer Ubuntu-based distros, so i was leaning towards Kubuntu (with backports). I've been using Linux for a few years. I'm moderately capable, not a sysadmin. I've used KDE Neon, Mint, Arch, Nobara in that order. I've only recently started look into Debian options which brought me here :)

I'll summarise my reasons and wants...

Reasons:

• I like the Ubuntu-based distros for what they offer.
• I like Ubuntu-based distros like Mint for their reliability and relative ease of use/configuration/maintenance/packages/support etc.
• I like Plasma.
• While i can disable Snaps in Kubuntu, i'd rather not have to fight a corporation right out of the gate.
• I'd prefer the "more pure" Debian over Ubuntu.

Wants:

• Not bleeding edge, not stable - the sweet spot in-between.
• I like "newer" but i don't like untested newer :)

Use-case:

• I play games, but i'm not a "gamer"
• Daily driver.

The above summary is why the title is what it is: mxLinux KDE - what backports are available for more recent kernels, mesa, kde/plasma?. With the context provided i hope people can advise if mxLinux works for me, or if something else (perhaps Kubuntu) is better for my desired setup.

Thanks!
