Obviously, you’ve never needed to run on the rims out in the countryside. Like when your spare tire is flat, too. And then you have to drive another 15 miles on paved roads just to get back home. And, of course, all the other tires go flat along with your ass from all the bouncing around.

No, that is forbidden here. 
But here is also a towing service not hundreds of kilometers away.

No flat tires here, just dog sled teams so when you snow machine breaks down.

Guys, please help me.
I would really love to try linux, specially your amazing Garuda linux, but there is a problem.
How much money does it cost?
And, where can I download antivirus?

The cost, (like freedom) is eternal vigelence.
For antivirus you can use Lysol, or better yet don't do dumb sh1t online.

Dude I know exactly what I'm talking about. An operation that takes maybe a minute in GParted takes 3 minutes or more in KDE Partition Manager. When I fist started using the Plasma desktop I though OK I'm give KDE PM a run since it's suppose to be the same under the hood as GP and after a few operations I ended up going ahead and install GP and never looked back at KDE PM. I decided the day before yesterday to move the contents from one partition to another with the same type of content. Once finished I decided to tryout KDE PM again for the first time in a long time to delete the newly emptied partition to see if there had been any performance enhancements made to it. All together it too KDE PM about two minutes to delete the partition where the same partition would of been deleted in seconds with GP. I love Plasma and KDE apps but not all of them.
While I don’t disagree with GParted being a probably better tool than Partition Manager, I don’t think time/speed comparison is a credible reason IMHO. I prefer measuring trustworthiness, if there is a method for that

I have used KDE and GNOME for a long time and used the appropriate partitioning tool, either GParted or KDE PM. I can’t imagine either one taking two minutes to delete a partition. I do it quite frequently, and it is about or nearly the same with either one. I would never consider using a PM or any other utility to do that if it took so long, and I don’t expect most Linux users would, either.
So if your experience with KDE PM was that bad, I don’t blame you for you using GParted instead. But I use it near-daily and haven’t had that experience, nor do I recall others having an experience similar to yours.
If I did, I would conclude there was something problematic going on, but not blame it on KDE PM, not without looking at bug reports and expecting to find one adddressing that issue. Did you, or are you basing your conclusion on one incident experienced by you alone?

No I do not make a decision about a program or anything base off one time. There are too many times when something can be a one off. I didn't even realize till about 4 years back that KDE PM existed. When I was told it was the same as GP under the hood I tried it out several times. After noticing operations that I did regularly taking longer in KDE PM I went back to GP. I honestly wisah my experience with KDE PM was better cause I do like having the drices / partition listed on the left like in a lot partitioning tools except for GP where you have to use the drop-down menu.
That may explain it. Whatever it was like then, it is not now. A ton of improvements have happened in KDE in the past 4 years, I find. KMail, as an example, is (for once, or maybe once again) useable and actually human-configurable.
I abandoned KDE in favor of GNOME after KDE introduced that redheaded stepchild Plasma in 4.0. That’s been awhile. I didn’t return until 5.5, I think, and have been more than satisfied with their continuing UI and application improvements.
Hey, here’s my Catch O’ The Day: isoimagewriter (or isoimagewriter-git), available in the AUR.
It is the simplest, slickest little ISO writer I have ever seen. It makes using ‘dd’ seem so old-fashioned, I quit using dd. Nicest thing is it’s from the KDE Community. Been using it around a year, and I’ve yet to have a bad burn with it. It does one thing and does it well.

Agree with you on KDE 4.0 made me drop exzperimenting with Linux for years. When I firt stated playing with Linux it was Plasma 3.something and I got spoiled fast. Never liked the other desktops. Have gone back now and again to see what kind of improvements in them but still not my cup of tea. About the only DE I'd use if Plasma wasn't available would be Mate. It's the main reason I finally completely dropped Windows and went full Linux. I then went back to plasma on a Arch based release cause I like the idea of a rolling release. As long as the devs for Garuda and Plasma keep doing a great job I won't be going anywhere else for a long time. As foe isowriter I'm used it on many distros and never had a complaint with it either.
