    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.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

    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.

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    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

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

    But I don't want third-party extensions, I want a DE that comes with a first-party system tray

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

    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.

    lmao my KDE is the most rainbow shit evee with candy icons and purple color

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)
    [–] [email protected] 52 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Agreed. Because I prefer KDE and the goth chick.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

    I don't think you have to be goth to like goth chicks

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

    Yes. As a Gnome user is agree.

    Haha, I just tried kde plasma yesterday and went back to dark gloomy serious gnome.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    Yeah I've been using Gnome for a few years and decided to try xfce and kde again, kde kept crashing then reloading and wouldnt save where I put my widgets. And xfce was good but I couldn't get Awesome WM to work and I missed wayland. So back to Gnome I guess

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Every time I try GNOME I get very confused about what they're training to achieve. I don't like a lot of basic default settings, a story in itself. But the worst part is that they can only be changed via advanced tooling not installed by default (extensions, GNOME tweak). How is that user friendly?

    Definitely Gnome :)

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Why does Gnome not have tray icons yet! I really don't get it.

    I don't want to use extensions.

    This made me think of this great early text that mostly had this situation reversed :
