Ironically lightweight KDE runs worse on my 2010 laptop than GNOME does. KDE is sluggish and GNOME is peppy like a modern laptop. A dev type explained to me that GNOME fetches everything that’s needed for a function and caches it ready, where as KDE does lazy loading? Where it only loads what it immediately needs and knows what to load next when needed. And with my older system and slow processor grabbing this from memory with GNOME preloading is faster than KDEs method.
Can you even disable the alt-tab popup on KDE Plasma?
I know there are different task switchers and you can download custom ones. But not sure if there is a way to just cycle windows with alt-tab directly instead getting a task switcher.

Does that laptop have an SSD?
Yes

You can uncheck this checkbox:
I love KDE.
They’re not afraid to add settings, unlike the gnome team.
Yeah. It’s KDE, there’s a setting for that.
