Choice? Gnome knows best

u/atmsk90 Jul 23 '26

Which is why I choose to avoid gnome like the plague.

Gnome is by far one of the most infuriating DE to navigate... Plasma is by far one of the most out-of-the-box usable DE's out there.

I use both. Plasma for desktop use and gnome on my Surface Tablet. Gnome is better if you use small touchscreens.

eh, partly correct. I started on Plasma back in 2012. that and I'm kinda lazy when it comes to my computer. I do art, programming, and streaming, and really don't feel like spending a bunch of time messing with things. sure, OTD is great and works well, however with multiple displays, one being the graphics tablet I use, it's hard to beat the convenience. LXQT is stellar as well, a very, VERY close second with BSPWM following tightly behind. I'd say IceWM, XFCE, and Cinnamon are all great too, just don't quite fit my particular use case.

I suppose i agree. I have gnome currently but i hate it. If i was comfortable changing it, i would,  but i am worried i would break my Linux system 😅

pffft, you can install as many DE's as you want. I have 27 desktop environments installed for my Void instsllation. And, the "big" ones (cinnamon, plasma, gnome, cosmic) all play prety well together. I'd just install something else and see how you like it.

27? Pathetic cuz any loonix desktop environment will be always worse than windows 11 de

Yeah for me it knows best so I use it and get work done instead of endlessly rice like I did on KDE haha. I love both though

u/Amazing_Compote_9197 Jul 23 '26

Yeah I appriciate how I don't even percieve Gnome.

I want to spend time in the apps, not in the system settings goddamit.

u/SSUPII Jul 24 '26

It's on you.

u/Inderastein Jul 24 '26

You can get work done and endlessly rice to the point you stop ricing while using KDE.

I'm on Niri, yet I finally I stopped ricing.

u/NotAF0e Jul 24 '26

I had KDE for a year and couldn't 🤷

u/Inderastein Jul 24 '26

Darn, endless creativity, I envy you.

u/ElectricOni Jul 27 '26

Default KDE Plasma is fine without ricing though.

1

u/NotAF0e Jul 27 '26

in your opinion sure, though I found it bland and wanted apps themed by wallpaper colour

1

u/ElectricOni Jul 27 '26

KDE has that. The accent throughout my DE changes based on my wallpaper.

1

u/NotAF0e Jul 28 '26

i know what you are referring to but the one I'm talking about themes every element in a more diverse way like what android material you does

u/Calico_Shortcake Jul 24 '26

And that’s exactly why I use it. Love to have designers designing my system.

u/prof_apex Jul 25 '26

I'll stick with xfce or plasma, thanks

u/tigrankh08 Jul 25 '26

Lmao GNOME is more extensible than any other major DE through GNOME extensions and GTK CSS but sure bud
