this is just a meme, I know that everyone is different and not all GNOME or KDE users are like that!!

I like KDE cause it has a cute dragon. GNOME is a stinky foot.
I like KDE cause it has a cute dragon.
A what? I’ve only ever seen the K cog.
We need a non-binary KDE dragon, it seems.
The rainbow not enough for you? 🙃
It’s never enough
Oh wow, I didn’t know about Kandalf and KDE valley, that’s awesome!
You say that as if the later is worse
I always thought the GNOME icon was a indirect meme about Richard Stallman eating something from his toe
Me be like:
GUIs are for the weak. Monitors are for the weak. My PC is connected to a keyboard and a printer. Hackerman
You use a keyboard and a peinter? weak! I throw magnets over the memory chips and use a multi-meter. /l334
Ughhh! Filthy casuals like you using the screen on a multimeter! I bet you don’t even staple the electrodes to your nipples! Probably use clamps instead 🙄
I just do the calculations in my head.
I eat nuts and sleep in a cave
Enjoy your bloat, I directly put my finger on the CPU pins to feel the electrical signals.
I flick toggle switches and read the buffer LEDs.
The latter is more about i3 users lol
yeah, my mom uses kde
Your mom rules.
Me with no DE:
$ whoevenamiCmus play despacito
This is more like desktop enviromment vs window manager users
deleted by creator
Absolutely, there are a good few window managers designed to be standalone. I use AwesomeWM and i3 is very popular.
If you don’t need a full desktop environment it’s nice to have something that mostly stays out of the way.
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.
Listen, we have all moved to hyprland for the pretty animations.
What am I doing ricing KDE when I don’t even own a hoodie…
Ricing? What’s that?
Basically anything in !unixporn@lemmy.ml
Ricing refers to modifying your system to make it look cool. The term comes from street racing, where it basically meant improving perceived performance using cosmetics like spoilers and hood ornaments and stuff. Mostly form over function.
Also, if you don’t mind visiting, you’ll see more of what I mean over here:
I use Cinnamon. What does that make me?
What if I use Hyprland?
Why not both? Seriously, why shouldn’t I install both DEs so I can figure out what I like best or suit my mood?
Can’t we actually have it all in this scenario?
I do have both installed, Plasma seems better for gaming with performance and experimental features, while GNOME is very stable for work and, ironically, customizes better for my preferences.
EDIT: I use Arch BTW
in my experience, installing one breaks the other or at least changes it. it’s a shitshow honestly
NO! You must pick a side and fight!
Having both at the same time may break shit. However you can choose a distro like Debian or Arch or any one that just gives you the default DE, customize it to your liking if needed, use it for a set amount of time (like two weeks, a month, whatever) or until you feel like you have a good grasp on it and if you like it, then install another one, uninstall the previous one and repeat until you tried all the DEs you wanted to try or found the one you like and just use that one
Instant upvote because KDE is stupid underrated
I don’t think it’s that underrated. But yah it’s a little underrated.
inacurate, they are all femboys
I used to be a GNOME fanboy, but then GNOME 3 came and I can’t stand it. Now I’m a KDE fanboy
i actually kinda like gnome since gnome 40 release.
it still sucks to use on small displays like laptops tho due to all the padding everywhere
also gnome’s touchpad gestures and multi-desktop management is superior to that of kde.Gnome is awesome on my big ultra wide monitor but sucks balls on my old laptop with a 768p display. I think the meme is backwards.
it doesn’t suck balls that deep on 768p, but you’ll be basically working with one fullscreen app per desktop
Well yeah it’s usable but I’d rather use even windows at that resolution to be honest even though I’m somewhat of a gnome fanboy.
That was me with gnome 1.1 or 1.2, when they replaced the window manager by something way less configurable.
Luckily Xfce exists which gives you back all of the configurability of old Gnome.
Move those panels around, add as many as you like!
Me, I’ve just looked at screenshots of old gnome and can’t remember why I ever thought 2 panels visible at all times were a good idea.
I love current gnome, cause with a single extension I can hide literally all of it until I need to bring it up with the super-button. And then I have my favorite apps, open windows, workspaces, systray, clock and a search field all visible at once.Too little, too late. Kde does everything, already did ages ago. There’s no reason for switching.
Same here.
