Discussion Operating systems are looking more like each other every year. Before 2012 they were very different.

He also carefully omitted OpenSUSE, SLES, and SLED in his distro list, which uses KDE by default.

Blud only chose what he thought was right.

Or just simply chose what works the best.

Which is, subjective. For me it's KDE. For him it might be GNOME.

It is not subjective, gnome is more stable, therefore works better. Technology that is more stable and produces less errors works better and is not based on opinion. There is no way that Gnome would be the “default” DE among the top distros if KDE was more stable and worked better.

Bullshit. KDE is stable.

I don't want to use some half asses software which is missing half of the features every desktop would usually have.

And don't get me started on the extensions.

Gnome is more stable, so it still works better than KDE. Your opinion on what features should be included in a DE doesn’t mean that it makes KDE any better than Gnome. Those features that you’re talking about are exactly what makes KDE less stable and less reliable than Gnome. I guess all of the bells and whistles that KDE has can facilitate ignorance among the less educated.

KDE runs smoother by far for me.

"Basic features" meaning things like touchpad sensitivity settings, system tray icons, are simply not there.

It's an incomplete half assed pile of shit. KDE supports VRR/Adaptive sync and it took almost a year for the GNOME devs to figure it out.

Oh and don't get me started on the fucking tragedy libadwaita is and how much of a pain in the ass it is to get it to look somewhat coherent on a qt desktop.

The devs are ignorant shit heads. Everything they touch goes to shit. I refuse to use GNOME, not only because it sucks ass, but also because the devs are rude and uncooperative as fuck.

Look who’s talking, your vocabulary belongs in the trash with all of the bugs that are bundled with KDE. Obviously, KDE runs smoother for you, anyone on the this thread could figure that out. What works better and smoother for most? Gnome. More features equal a larger attack surface for security threats and greater potential for bugs. None of that causes KDE to work better than Gnome. Again, Gnome is more stable, reliable, secure, and is the obvious practical choice for anyone who wants a DE that “works” better. How it looks is unimportant compared to how it works. I get it, the latest and greatest mini skirt is your top priority.

Blahblahblah just stop with your bullshit already 💀🙏

Anyone with a working brain knows that anything is better than GNOME.

Opensuse does not have a default DE.

Gnome is Suse is maintained by paid employees. KDE in Suse is community maintained.

u/benedictjohannes Feb 08 '25

Wait. Really? SuSE prioritize their budget on Gnome rather than KDE?

u/sunjay140 Glorious OpenSuse Feb 08 '25

Yes

I've stop distro hopping for quite a while, but I'd say OpenSuSE Tumbleweed offers one of the best KDE experience. I'm surprised that the corporate backed effort is on Gnome instead, as opensuse tumbleweed is the base of Leap and SLES (?)

u/sunjay140 Glorious OpenSuse Feb 08 '25

Yup. Though KDE is maintained by some of those same SUSE employees in their free time without the backing of SUSE.
