  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    The biggest thing for me with these two which makes KDE the better DE is that with Gnome I have to change the way I work, with KDE I change it to the way I work. That's what it all boils down to for me.

    [–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 years ago

    As far as I know there is no intended method for changing the default terminal in Gnome.

    100% unacceptable.

    [–] victron@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

    You just described my exact situation. I went back to plasma after using GNOME for 3 weeks.

    It's more like:

    [–] TheBat@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Agreed. Because I prefer KDE and the goth chick.

    [–] Ricaz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

    I don't think you have to be goth to like goth chicks

    Gnome is the fancy rainbow girl but with useful eyes or mouth. While KDE is the other girl, elegant and customizable and could be a more functional rainbow girl if she so chooses.

    (This came out really weirdly but maybe y'all got it anyways)

    Edit: I actually meant useless but eh.

    [–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

    Yes. As a Gnome user is agree.

    Gnome is business casual.

    [–] victron@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I migrated from Kubuntu after 4 years to Debian 12 last month. Default GNOME DE. Yesterday I uninstalled that shit and installed Plasma. GNOME is pretty and shit, but just wasn't for me.

    [–] MashedTech@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    I used to use GNOME and modded it heavily to my liking. Because the default gnome feels like it's missing stuff. Now it kinda makes sense why I'm okay with using MacOS and modding it's missing features.

    [–] sezey@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

    Definitely Gnome :)

    [–] zerdekahu@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Why does Gnome not have tray icons yet! I really don't get it.

    I don't want to use extensions.

    [–] CodeSalat@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    yet? They had them like forever and removed them. IIRC the reasoning was that implementation between applications was wildly inconsistent but the situation is far from optimal either way

    This made me think of this great early text that mostly had this situation reversed :

    All these KDE vs. Gnome discussions. I tried them all in a production environment with smb shares WebDAV, caldav etc. I can use them all the way it is usable. But best working from the ground, without to much hassle, is simply gnome.

    If someone is new to Linux I would always lead them to gnome.

    Am I weird because I like MATE?

    [–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I’ve never used it.

    What makes you like it?

    LXDE and LXQt is perfect
    looks like hot garbage until you spend 300 hours theming it but BOIYE IT FAST AS FUCK

    [–] gamey@feddit.rocks 2 points 2 years ago

    Sounds like the year I used Openbox, I guess it's kind of based on that so not too surprising but definitely cool!
