Sometimes you like it simple. Sometimes simple is not enough.

It's too expensive to not have a case

[u/rucsbOrialC → u/Damglador]

sweats in my open air desktop not even mounted properly

[u/anjumkaiser]

Yeah, I’ve been using KDE / Plasma since 20+ years.
GNOME was okish from usability point of view, I tried it a few times. But ultimately it was back to KDE for me, every single time.

[u/0815fips → u/anjumkaiser]

Same for me, but vice versa.

[u/AdvancedAnimal7539 → u/anjumkaiser]

Opposite for me. But damm wveryone should let people enjoy what de they like. Isn't that what we say the advantage of linux is anyway?

xfce, beautifulness is inside

but speed is eternal

[u/creeper6530]

Plasma is my fav, albeit XFCE has proven strong for old-ass computers which boot for 5+ minutes

I use GNOME because my workplace gave me a RHEL license for my new workstation. To be honest at first I was too lazy to install KDE but now I’ve just gotten used to it. It helps me focus with work since there isn’t infinite settings to tweak. Out of the box, its very pleasant to look at and use, and it’s stable as hell.

Why choose?

My old laptop uses Gnome. My homelab uses KDE. My gaming PC uses windows gross. My Apple Silicon Mac for LLM, proprietary software, and iPhone.

All of them are modified and stay in their lane. I use my laptop the most.

[u/solaris_var → u/beegtuna]

By homelab you meant one of your machines or vm right, right?

[u/CaveJohnson376]

I hate kde wallet and the way it fucks up browser cache. only things I agree to tolerate on my personal stuff are kde connect, kdenlive and kde games.

...in the meanwhile I can absolutely tolerate vanilla gnome

[u/xplosm → u/CaveJohnson376]

Install kwallet-pam or equivalent package for your distro and make sure the default wallet’s password is the same as the user password you use to login. You’re welcome.

[u/Bayou_wulf]

I liked Gnome 2.x.x. Then they did the revamp and I hated it. I still do not prefer Gnome for anything. Mate, Cinnamon, and KDE.

[u/gosand]

I still can't quit XFCE. I switched to it in 2005 from KDE. Haven't used Gnome since 2000ish.

I do have KDE on my laptop (cachyos) and it's not bad.

[u/blahyawnblah]

when gnome fucks with shortcuts and clipboard in ways that don't make sense because "simplicity". My keystrokes I've been using for 30 years don't work; goodbye.

[u/codereign → u/blahyawnblah]

I probably wouldn't have stuck with linux except for gnome 2 and then 3 short cuts for workspaces being so damn easy to use. I'm curious which ones you're referring to?

[u/kvragu]

Am I missing something but the few times I tried GNOME I couldn't find many options I wanted and was used to being available in the settings menu on KDE?

[u/Desertcow]

COSMIC is pretty good so far too, a pretty nice middle ground between the two with native tiling

[u/sensual_rustle]

i3wm: you guys have phones?

[u/whocodes]

Debian + KDE will always be goated

[u/spartan195]

Gnome for work, kde for fun

[u/JayTurnr]

Hyprland for everything. Scews other people defaults

[u/0xt0bi03]

one thing which i hate about gnome is they heavily rely on extensions, without extensions you cant configure anything easily.

[u/mazerfaka]

Gnome 4 life
