- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

I caved and used KDE on my last install, and boy do I miss Gnome.
Not that KDE is bad, but Gnome is just so my style.
I'm a gnome fan myself, though I've been using a lot of distros without systemd recently while gnome has started requiring it so I'm probably not going to be seeing gnome for a while.
That's interesting. I come from the Gentoo world, so Gnome without systemd isn't too uncommon.
Couldn't you just install Gnome now? Most distros have packages for Gnome and KDE, and there's usually nothing stopping you from installing them both.
I could, but I'll probably stick with KDE until I reinstall. It ain't broke, just not exactly what I want.
can't you just customise KDE to just work like gnome?
Yes but it takes a lot of work
There's probably thirty Global Theme packs that do exactly that with a single click
Possible? Yes. Accomplishable, dunno. You can get very close visually etc. Far closer than making GNOME look like KDE. But I have a feeling that some of the panel meaning dropdowns etc would be the first places to falter. Though, maybe someone has fitting panel apps already.
For the most part, yes, but as the commenter above put it so eloquently...
