The biggest thing for me with these two which makes KDE the better DE is that with Gnome I have to change the way I work, with KDE I change it to the way I work. That’s what it all boils down to for me.
As far as I know there is no intended method for changing the default terminal in Gnome.
100% unacceptable.
You just described my exact situation. I went back to plasma after using GNOME for 3 weeks.
The way you work might not be the best way to work. That’s kind of the realization I had to have to use GNOME - now using anything else feels like a chore.
Now if we could just find The Best Way To Work Bible (King James Version of course) we could then be told what the best way to work is.
We disciples of the church of the latter K saints are following the KWin scripture.
The way you work is largely a personal choice defined by personal preference. You may have found a better way to work, but I’m quite satisfied with the way I work.
:)
Just wanted to agree and add that it’s not my DE’s job to tell me the best way to work. That’s why I use KDE even though I like some things about the GNOME environment. Let me get there in my own time, let me set the things up how I want. My work isn’t your work, and your workflow shouldn’t be forced onto mine.
GNOME devs care about their vision, KDE devs care about their users. This has been plain since the early days of GNOME 3.
This is so true, even if some people don’t want to recognize it. GNOME and their whole design walled garden, also those “dOnT tHemE oUr aPps” fellas. Jesus, isn’t that the point of linux? Do whatever the f I want with my OS?
Dude, have you ever considered using Apple products?
Given how much Apple users love the products, I don’t have a big problem with certain parts of the design. My nitpicks are mostly about the walled gardens and proprietary-ness. The seamlessness and the efficiency/functionality of their products deserve admiration (when not combined with corporate greed, of course).
The Gnome/Apple comparison is almost as old as bad, just a stupid take…
Same, I won’t leave Gnome again!
Thats not Gnome. You need to remove the glasses. Hair is not an option. Two eyes, mouth, nose. That’s all you get. And you are not allowed to focus on all three, only one at a time can be shown.
I don’t know, with Gnome extensions you menage to change anything you’d want to and even more.
Maybe not anything, but the options are there
But I don’t want third-party extensions, I want a DE that comes with a first-party system tray
Ok cool thats what you want, fair enough. We, as in Gnome users, don’t mind third party extensions for features we want, and that’s also fair enough. Every linux user has the option to use whatever DE/WM they want. This freedom is what we fight for.
We, as in the whole linux community have big enough fights outside our community, the last thing we need is quarrels on the inside. “Yes you can use whatever you want do whatever you want”, “Ok cool I’m gonna use this then”, “NOO YOU HAVE TO USE THIS ARGHHHGH”. It’s pathetic.
I don’t want a DE cluttered with 10k possible options which led to possible unstability. I want a stable DE and the ability to change it exactly how i want it.
The stability of KDE is there, but Gnome is much better. Good that we have the options
It’s more like:
OS after ricing
OS before ricing
lmao my KDE is the most rainbow shit evee with candy icons and purple color
Other way around
Agreed. Because I prefer KDE and the goth chick.
I don’t think you have to be goth to like goth chicks
Gnome is the fancy rainbow girl but with useful eyes or mouth. While KDE is the other girl, elegant and customizable and could be a more functional rainbow girl if she so chooses.
(This came out really weirdly but maybe y’all got it anyways)
Edit: I actually meant useless but eh.
Yes. As a Gnome user is agree.
Still Gnome for me
Ah yes yes. Special snowflakes…
I use Arch btw.
OP only ever seen default Garuda KDE I guess.
It definitely dose look like Garuda!
Gnome is business casual.
I migrated from Kubuntu after 4 years to Debian 12 last month. Default GNOME DE. Yesterday I uninstalled that shit and installed Plasma. GNOME is pretty and shit, but just wasn’t for me.
I used to use GNOME and modded it heavily to my liking. Because the default gnome feels like it’s missing stuff. Now it kinda makes sense why I’m okay with using MacOS and modding it’s missing features.
Definitely Gnome :)
Why does Gnome not have tray icons yet! I really don’t get it.
I don’t want to use extensions.
yet? They had them like forever and removed them. IIRC the reasoning was that implementation between applications was wildly inconsistent but the situation is far from optimal either way
Yeah, the consensus within the GNOME dev community is that yes, tray icons can be implemented as of right now, but it would lead to very messy systems and most surely lots of technical debt, so the chosen path forward is to wait for a better, unified alternative to arise and then evaluate its implementation in GNOME.
Still i like gnome
Now I extra prefer gnome

What’s fluxbox look like?
Like my grandma.
clutches chest
What? You saying my grandma is ugly?
Removed by mod
Bonus points if she’s both lol
My girl is both, to me haha.
Her family don’t get why I say that. They joke on her and say, “fun? Never heard of it. Now get back to work!”
She’s the most fun person I know though. I absolutely love her company.
They cannot believe that I would even consider calling her “fun”.
This made me think of this great early text that mostly had this situation reversed :
they will probably be too jacked up on X
This has not aged well
