I once installed Kubuntu on my laptop and when I booted it, it was very overwhelming to see so many options, I realized it would take me two or more days, and it feels extreme, and you also need the terminal a lot. That’s why I love Ubuntu GNOME, but it’s ok if you like KDE Plasma.
I installed a Fedora KDE Plasma spin and it enabled features on my laptop i didn’t know existed. It was nice. Windows 11 sucks. I’m happy to get rid of it.
Kinda depends: for me pretty much all de-s are complicated. I mean what happens when you want a de to do X? I used to go to settings/whatever, then google the problem in like 10 different ways when I inevitably don’t find it. And with wm-s you just search the wiki
yes, I was. Also yes, it was a flagship gpu - the 6900 XT. KDE never worked for me, neither with the 1080ti nor the 6900xt… maybe it’s the AMD cpus, idk. Gnome has always been a stable experience though
I don’t think you need to go full WM-onlyism to find yourself unable to relate to Gnome users. There are probably a handful of KDE users who still use Chrome, but we usually have some shame. We’re not, like, trying to form HOAs in our neighborhoods like Gnome users are, probably.
CMake has been around forever and is flexible enough to build really complex software. You just need to pull out enough hair when you want it to do something.
There have been Linux distributions certified as Unix in the past.
When people say “Unix”, they usually could care less about certification.
I’d still say that BSDs are Unix and Linux isn’t due to, say, kernels of Solaris and FreeBSD having some traces of similar architecture, while Linux is a completely different thing.
Mainly because Windows has more support. Software availability is the biggest draw to Windows. I would quite happily drop it in a heartbeat if Linux came close.
MacOS has no proper UI scaling for example. Something windows had for… I don’t know, ever? It was never an issue for me.
For MacOS you need a little extra tool you stumble upon after hours of debugging that teels your MacOS what resolutions your display actually supports so MacOS grants you the option of your desired HiDPI resolution.
It’s stuff like this that drives me mad when dealing with the fucking Mac I am forced to use at work.
There is always going to be pros and cons when it comes to UI. Since Mac comes with a set size monitor, I can understand why there is little support for it. Although, as someone who needs PC glasses, it is a big remiss to not cater for disabilities.
As in my other comment, the display menu in settings has options titled more/less space which increase or decrease the size of text and windows on screen, this is accounted for.
