I ran touch empty.txt and stat reported empty.txt as 0 bytes, then checked writes, appends, standard input, and editor-based creation.

Xfce vs KDE Plasma comes up any time a Linux beginner asks how to pick a desktop environment for an older laptop or a fresh install. KDE Plasma packs a customizable,
