The great debate

yeah real tough one, sane option vs crippled piece of shit with clinically insane devs

I think desktop = KDE
Gnome looks handy for laptop with shortcuts etc.. But on desktop feels weird.

>>106137534
What the fuck is your problem?

>>106137989
feet are fucking disgusting

There is no debate.

kde on desktop & gnome on laptop is kino

>>106137534
>crippled piece of shit with clinically insane devs
Kde or gnome?

>>106137438 (OP)
I think gnome's wayland compositor is less buggy. for x11, i pick kde. for now

>>106138408
haha clever, updoot

>>106137438 (OP)
Have you considered using the DE that actually works? AKA the one on the *krashes*

>>106137438 (OP)
Gnome doesn't krash like KDE.

Feet stink. Gnome is the work of a sex offender.

Neither.

Usecases?

tiling window managers are far more comfy

>>106137438 (OP)
I choose gtk2

>>106137438 (OP)
Both deprecated by EXWM

kek, I've talked with this dude on Matrix wtf lol seeing this here is killing me

Not really a bad dude, just has a vision set and isn't deviating from it at all. If your request doesn't align with his vision or he perceives your question about GNOME like a threat to his life, you WILL get banned from the Matrix rooms, weird guy, needs to relax

You know what, you're right.

Bussy, if you're reading this, go full accelerationism.
I think you may have made your point.

>>106139232
Is being better a metric?

konqi is pregnant

>>106140423
what compels someone to use this.

>>106137438 (OP)
whatever you like, thats the answer, you can say you like X or Y about any of those, you can say about RAM usage, options, etc, but in the end the only thing that matters is your personal preferences, i use one of those, and i dont give a fuck if someone tells me is bad, i use it and will use it for a long time, if you use the other one i dont care.

*clears throat*
ahem... SQUEAK

> using Gnome

use i3 btw

KDE: It's not a fucking foot
Gnome: It's a fucking foot
I think the choice is clear.

gross

>>106143224
yes, lxde

>>106143170
can't believe it took so long for someone to post the real answer

I don't like ebussyware but plasma is kinda shit
individual kde applications are nice though

>>106137438 (OP)
where's i3? loved it the second I tried it.

>>106137438 (OP)
>KDE
I run into a bunch of edge cases with KWIN
>Gnome
I have yet to try it yet but added it to experiment with
>Cinnamon
Feature poor compared to KDE but Muffin doesn't shit out land lose opengl contexts ike kwin and fucking die; main issue is screensaver shitting out and causing PAM to lock me out if I lock too many times in the same uptime.
>XFCE
I also installed this to consider trying since I'm at the collecting DE phase of being a new linux user.
>Overall I liked the features and UI of KDE best so far but kwin being a buggy mess unfortunately makes it not a great option for me when cinnamon mostly works and the compositor doesn't ack itself

>>106137438 (OP)
Thanks but no thanks. Window Maker does everything I need and everything else I can do in an xterm window.

>9 different desktops mentioned
>this is supposed to be a good thing, "choice is good" after all
meanwhile Windows just werks

>>106137438 (OP)
Use case for debates?

Linux Mint Cinnamon quite simply purely ecumenically just werks

In my free time I just use Windows (gayming).
But at work (sysadmin) I prefer KDE.

I used to like GNOME 2, then moved to XFCE but now that GNOME devs flooded the entire desktop ecosystem with their GTK3/4 garbage, there's only KDE left. Qt apps actually work, have the options you'd expect and KDE doesn't have some creative onions ass workflow that will get in my way.

And in my experience (4 years now) KDE has been stable while GNOME just shits itself if you don't install and use it the way they exactly want you to.
