I’m a simple guy. Give me a working Cinnamon and I’m happy.
Laughs in xfce
There are dozens of us!
I really don’t like gnome personally but I’m glad it exists cause other people canlike things I don’t
My problem is people keep infecting the world with software designed with Gnome’s “Mac with Meningitis” style sheet.
Upvoted solely for “Mac with Meningitis”
FUCK
pointless fighting
ALL MY HOMIES
recognize that choice is good and what works for some folk won’t work for others. some people want a highly polished experience right out of the box, even if it can’t be customized a ton, and that’s fine. some devs want a UI toolkit that is solid, polished and guarantees that your app will look the same no matter the user’s environment, and that’s fine.
(i use KDE btw)
I mean GNOME is…fine. I don’t use it, because if I wanted something that chewed up 3-5GB of RAM I’d just run Windows, but if you like GNOME, you do you.
This is Linux. It’s all about choice. Run what you like. It’s your goddamn computer. And that’s what we all love together.
I dunno that I would have made Gnome as it is, and I don’t know that all the advances to Gnome has been better or not, but, kde, really? Maybe you’re just a boring guy
How did you get tired of dwm? It has everything you need!
Yes, i love it too, but lately i’ve been using my laptop on the go. I did not have time to rice the shit out of it beforehand, so i just threw the kde-meta package on it and it worked more or less out of the box.
I just put time and battery to status and am golden.
But yeah, KDE is amazing, too.
no nm-applet or volume bar?
nah, I don’t change volume much, or networks, so I just open the apps when required
I always look at the “gang signs” they make with total confusion. These ones are all different. I was even trying to see if they were spelling something.
I know a fair bit of gang signs. From left to right you have P, L, A, S, M and A.
Kde looks unpolished. Always reminds me of windows.
I don’t know why, but gnome is just attractive in a way that makes me want to suck gnome dick
“Unpolished” and “like Windows 7” is exactly what I want. I don’t want to be distracted by my DE, it should just work.
Both are meh. I wanted to love KDE but it always lets me down. Cinnamon has been great, running a fedora spin with it now. Sway has been calling my name tho.
Gnome apps are better than KDE apps. GParted vs partition manager, for example. Dolphin sucks eggs next to Nemo too.
Just my incorrect opinions obviously. Use the stuff ya like.
EDIT: I’d avoid bazzite in general. They have great marketing and it works. But as an Immutable distro, aka read-only, it can give inexperienced users unique challenges to learning Linux. Caveats apply obviously and if you like it and it’s working for you that’s rad too. I’m a cranky bitch but I’m all about people enjoying their stuff to the max in their own way. And the more nerds using Linux the merrier.
I stick with X over Wayland but I’m an nvidia loser. I’m on fedora but would not recommend it to someone just starting out. Same with straight up Debian or arch. They’re all great if you know what you’re doing. But distros exist for a reason.
CachyOS/EndeavorOs. Rock on. I loved these and they’re my fallback if fedora or lmde makes me mad or I want need arch for some homelab thing. I’m weary of the AUR though, making arch kinda pointless for me.
This may have been true at one point but gnome apps started removing basic functionality and hiding what was there in a horrible disorganised burger menu instead of traditional menus.
I hate GNOME not because it looks bad (though some parts do) but because of their ways of doing stuff. Best example imo is libadwaita and client side decorations.
I will never understand why users don’t like client side decorations. I get why developers might dislike it. But the title bar is Gnome is functional.
I love KDE but every window having a big, windows 95 ass, useless bar doing nothing but wasting screen space feels so old and clunky. No one needs that much handle on a window.
