aeleoglyphic,

As a kubuntu user I approve. 👍

FMEEE,

True. Just true

Abnorc,

I dunno, the people in the top left look pretty happy.

They do, and judging by their environment, pretty wealthy as well. Plus a happy family. As opposed to being unhinged enough to give finger guns to a laptop or be bombarded with “tech stuff”. Great ad for gnome :)

(I’m just joking around. KDE is great too.)

laurelraven,

Eh, my main reason for going KDE is every time I try Gnome, it feels like “what do I do now” and “where is the program I opened”

I know that would get better with time spent using it, but then again, KDE feels like I can make it do what I want a lot easier

And none of the other DEs look as nice and polished, which, I know, that’s not the important part … But dammit, I’m gonna be spending a lot of time staring at it, I’d like it to look good to me at least

The last time I was meaningfully using Linux was around the time of Ubuntu 8.04 - my experience was the opposite of this.

When I have the time, I’ll be dipping back in on Zorin (which I think defaults to modded KDE) - I’ve spun up VM, and it seems like it’s worth a shot… I just need to confirm it’ll play the small handful of games I play, find a slicer app, and pull the trigger. Damn near everything else is Web-based or self-hosted.

laurelraven,

Yeah, Gnome is VERY different than in 2008

psud,

Gnome is better on that now, but I have been using gnome since back when KDE was using non-free libraries to be prettier

Gnome probably isn’t the best free desktop anymore, but I guess I’m used to it

laurelraven,

There’s a lot to be said for familiarity and its impact on productivity… Which is why I hate when UI layouts change for no apparent reason other than to be different.

psud,

It’s also good to try and work the way the system is designed for — or maybe to share a way of working with the design leads

Gnome likes you to have several things open, spread across the different desktops, and you really want to know the shortcuts for jumping between stuff

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

That’s why I stopped using Gnome. I loved Gnome 2.x, but then they went all screwey with Gnome 3 so I switched to Cinnamon.

1.8 gb minimum RAM usage on default KDE vs 1.6 GB RAM Usage on Compiz with all the fancy effects enabled like the see through 3D cube.

olutukko,

Mine took way less than 1,8gb. Nowadays I just use wm though. 500mb idle usage is neat

Something about making their own version of every app and than naming it k-something makes me think it’s a cult.

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Excuse me, it’s called a kult.

ikidd,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, I wouldn’t get on my high horse about that, Gnome apps used to be G- or Gnome-something for a long, long time.

Now they’re just some stock generic name that assumes “why would anyone ever use any other program for music except Music, or videos except Videos?”. Pretty much like Apple.

C_raven, (edited )

Worse than that, if you’re looking for the program in the terminal like when you install the thing it’s still called the old name, like:

Files > nautilus
Disk usage analyzer > baobab

They used to have character. The k- naming scheme is just a hint that isn’t a qt app really.

Murdoc,

Oh no, they know about the Kult! Burn the kompound!

We wouldn’t have Safari (Webkit) or Chrome (Blink) today if it weren’t for Konqueror and KHTML! Webkit is a fork of KHTML, and Blink is a fork of Webkit.

Holzkohlen,

What in the world are you on about? Kandalf be praised

evilenx,

i use dwm btw, gnome and KDE is bloat

snake,

Connoisseur!

notepass,

I only use the terminal. GUI is bloat.

YoorWeb,

Coding in vim is the way to go.

mavu,

I use xfce nice clean simple and not overly complicated everytime I try a new desktop manager I find myself going back to xfce as they say keep it simple and cozy

WindowsEnjoyer,

How is XFCE nowadays? I am on KDE for the past ~3 years and been long-term XFCE user.

IMO biggest KDE advantage over XFCE is that everything literally works out of the box - audio, bluetooth, shortcuts (i hate setting up script yo turn on/off mousepad.

I am using X instead of Wayland anyway.

Anything changed in XFCE over several years?

jomoo99,

Anecdote alert: XFCE recently worked out of box on my 2014 hp Pavilion

merc,

KDE gives you bad hair?

CaptainHowdy,

But what if I don’t want to wear a hoodie and sunglasses when I’m inside on my computer?
