Why is this shit so popular?
>Not refined as cinnamon
>Not lightweight as lxqt
>Not comfy as xfce or mate
>Not as practical as GNOME

Why is the linux community so filled with extremist haters?
Having options is never bad.
I for one love the fact that there are lots of options for everything I wanna do.
I dislike most DE's but I appreciate that they exist.
OP is a faggot as always.

It's extremely customizable.

SQUEEEEEEEEAK

use case for getting infected from customizing your desktop

literally just werks (whenever it's nor krashing)
also, lots of intuitive functions I kinda expect that it has that others don't

just works

Need a good DE with good Wayland support. Got 2 options: Gnome and Plasma.
Gnome doesn't support some features I need. As it is tradition to wait 5 years before implementing a standard.
Left with Plasma, ugly by default, but can actually do my work.

>>106120321 (OP)
For desktop Linux, you basically have the following options.
>GNOME
>KDE
>soft forks of GNOME/KDE with some minor tweaks
>(a bunch of small obscure projects)

GNOME is suitable for some categories of user, such as elderly people who barely understand traditional filesystem and desktop metaphors and only need a browser. It might also be suitable for people who do absolutely everything in the terminal. For everyone else, it's a non-starter and we can write it off.

I don't want to use any forks or anything obscure, because while some of the tweaks might be to my liking, it's never going to be as complete, polished, and well-tested as the upstream release of a major desktop.

That leaves KDE.

Probably with reddit booters. People who use KDE do not use Linux full time.

The workflow is unmatched and everything just werks

>>106120321 (OP)
OP at the end of the day some people look to have a lot of features with no regard of any issues they might encounter. I don't like KDE Plasma much myself. I prefer Cinnamon. But currently, only Wayland supports certain display features, and only Plasma, GNOME and Hyprland (well, there's Sway, and some other shit no one cares about) support Wayland. I'm not using GNOME because there's some broken shit there anyways with window decorations, it gets annoying with how many things take extra steps just to get anywhere, and one of the features I seek (HDR) doesn't work there. I'm not using Hyprland because I don't give a shit about ricing, and it's only a waste of my valuable time to try to understand how it works. So my only option is the ugliness of Plasma. Where at least most of what I want working, works. I wish I could ditch Wayland and go back to x11. That way I'd use Cinnamon for fucking ever. But Wayland support on Cinnamon is a joke.

>>106120321 (OP)
Broken Sepples faggotry, as usual.

Just use GNOME and move on with your life.

>>106124658
unmatched because it's worst workflow of all DEs
just werks because it has the least features

>>106125123
>worst workflow
>GNOME is still the only enterprise level DE shipped with RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu, Alma, Rocky, Oracle
>KDE is the choice of 'i customize my desktop like i customize my body' and gaming dual booters
krashes, made by indians, it's ugly, KDE will NEVER be usable, even Windows mogs it.

>>106120321 (OP)
KDE and Gnome are the only relevant DEs and Gnome requires memorizing keyboard shortcuts to be actually usable, so it's an easy win for KDE.

I love KDE simply because it is a mix, it doesn't go all out on productivity. It's great for daily driving and honestly it's just preference.

I prefer KDE for the same reason I prefer Debian or Fedora. It just works

>>106120321 (OP)

Its simple. It looks and feels like Windows UI. People have gotten so used to windows UI, they wont settle easily for another UI because it feels alien to them. There, you got your answer. Thread's over.

You're right. You can't even use GNOME if you do everything in the terminal, since its terminal sucks ass too. It's basically only for computer illiterates.

I used it for all of last month, it was fine. really easy to customize and pretty stable, the whole krashing meme didn't reach me for the entire month. I also found out I prefer Qt apps over GTK.
I just find it really fucking ugly thus I stopped using it.
