I saw a previous post about it but that was about a tech savvy person from previous linux background and I am kinda tech savvy but with 0 linux experience and a craptop (if you will)

My specs are

CPU: 11th gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 @ 3Ghz

Memory: 8GB single channel ram (7.5 usable)

Storage : 200GB for fedora due to dual boot

GPU: integrated

The main reason I made the change was windows being really laggy and slow

Will plasma kde be better or is it the same case?

My use case is mostly brave browser, discord, VS code and WhatsApp

Please help me I am totally new to this
