KDE Plasma is a fantastic desktop environment. It is popular for its feature set that allows a user to customize the experience, add widgets, and multiply the usefulness of the desktop with various elements.

When you get started, you already have certain widgets in place to access things. You can customize/remove them or add some more pre-installed ones. In either case, you can also download widgets from the KDE store and try them out.

Here, I mention some of my favorite picks among the default, pre-installed, and downloadable widgets.

    I do the same!

    I also put the rest of the default stuff in a panel at the top. move the clock to the middle with a couple of spacers. Swap the application launcher for application dashboard. and now I’ve got gnome workflow but I don’t have to install extensions for basic stuff like the system tray.
