I agree with the general sentiment, though KDEโs apps do have some real performance issues.
Dolphin sometimes takes 2-5 seconds to open on my gaming PC, whereas Nautilus (Gnome Files) is usually done before Iโve even let go of the click.
Maybe thatโs just preloading, but it makes a bloody enormous difference in everyday usage.
I prefer Plasma overall, though.

It is easy to go fast if you have no features.

Hmm, Dolphin takes about 0.5 seconds on my laptop. Might be that worth debugging on your system, even if it is some bug that your specific system triggers.

You might need to look into this more.
It opens instantly on my gaming desktop, Microsoft Surface 7 Pro, and ASUS ROG Strix

I just checked, it boots in .5 seconds on my Steam Deck. So yeah, thereโs a problem somewhere ๐

Do you have a lot of files it might try to preview? I remember encountering similar loading times in my photos folder because it ties to load previews for every file.

Dolphin is the worst file manager, mostly because of how it doesn't give you a file copy window but also because it's just a shittier version of Nemo. Nemo is superior except that most of the time you can't drag and drop files from a zip folder window into Nemo but only if you're using KDE. Cinnamon is pretty much the only other DE I can stand and Nemo lets you drag and from from zip files all the time on Cinnamon but it's otherwise worse than KDE.

I would love to give Nemo a try on my Surface running GNOME, but it unusable for touchscreen users
