miracleorange,

Plasma and GNOME are two completely different projects made by completely different organizations made on completely different technologies with completely different philosophies. That would be like proposing that McDonald’s and Wendy’s merge.

Yes, open source development isn’t necessarily as efficient and doesn’t lend itself to as nice of UX/UI/etc, but that’s not the point. The point is the freedom. Do I wish, as a GNOME user, that GNOME had certain features that Plasma does? Yeah, but part of the reason I like GNOME is that they’re so stringent about what makes it into the DE that it makes for an infinitely more polished experience than Plasma. You can definitely approximate the GNOME workflow on Plasma well enough, and that’s the great thing about Plasma: you can do almost anything you want with it.

You’re not the first person to propose that open source projects merge, and you certainly won’t be the last, but freedom also implies that you work on what you want to, so let people work on what they want to!

BTW, there are certainly more DEs than just GNOME and Plasma. Maybe try Budgie! It’s like the default workflow of Plasma mixed with the simplicity of GNOME.

miracleorange,

Literally one of the Plasma devs showed up in the thread and seemed very annoyed.

In short, the maintainers have made questionable decisions over the years, and the Arch Linux packages are held back by two weeks on Manjaro for… basically no reason.

If you want an out-of-the-box solution to Arch Linux, just use EndeavourOS.

miracleorange,

Endeavour has plenty of “beginner” tools, including a kernel manager (literally called A Kernel Manager) and a friendly GUI Welcome app that helps you update your system and your mirrors.

miracleorange,

The app itself has to support it, and even then those options can be hit or miss.

For people asking what it means, my Spanish is not great, but I think the first sentence is something like “These are stories relating to ECM(? don’t know what that is) of experiences surrounding death (I would assume near-death experiences?)”

Not directly concerning on the surface if they’re just talking about near-death experiences, but I have no idea what the content of the videos is.

EDIT: Found the English version of the channel. Definitely some woo-woo shit, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a suicide cult.

miracleorange,

They have, but it’s more of a container development kind of thing.

miracleorange,

I tolerate her because she’s fuckin hilarious.

miracleorange,

How is it healthier? That’s a new one for me.
