Mine has stayed the same for about 3 years now. My friend has theirs change any time there’s a power cycle so a handful of times every year between power surges and firmware updates.

That’s the right take. Every couple years I’ve given KDE a shot for a month and it just won’t click no matter how much I configure it, this goes back pre plasma. I dislike gnome but it’s closer to what I want out of the box, then popos came along and I realized I just wanted a tiling wm all along but needed the hybrid approach to enjoy adjusting.
