From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.

My intel laptop on kde is unreliable, but gnome is super stable.

If you want windows like taskbar, you can turn it on gnome and other features that will make it more like windows.

On desktop with AMD video card I saw no difference between kde and gnome.

I ended up back on gnome. Because it was less distracting. I am a long time gnome user and kde was a curiosity. Latest versions of both (Arch Linux).

Would love to know how you're dealing with Gnome and HiDPI. I found it really wacky, massive title bars and such. Went to KDE Plasma 6 and it all looks right, but agree it seems a little wonky sometimes. I'm hoping the bugs get ironed out.

I don’t think my monitors are high def.

It is simply 3440x1440.

It's UWQHD. It's higher than fullHD, so it is high def by definition.

Given that my monitor is HiDef, no I have no size issues in Gnome.

KDE apps under gnome look like kde apps.

Gnome look like gnome.

After I installed KDE, vscode title bar got bigger.so, KDE impacted look of some apps. Not gnome itself.
