Why are they pushing GNOME when KDE is better?

Genuine question: what am I missing so much using gnome?

>Fedora
Because they are part of red hat and IBM, which also own gnome.
>Ubuntu
Just because they always have been.

>>106388714
canonical developed their own desktop environment for ubuntu and still uses gnome lol

what happened to unity? Was genuinely good. Did things so good that some DEs can't do well to this day, like fractional scaling.
Linux troons deserve having shit because when something good shows up they destroy it.

>>106388848
Like many things in the linux world, blame footfags.

>>106388577 (OP)
Release cycle
Plus, you have the option to get the same distros with plasma instead right from the developers

Why are you pushing KDE when it's simple for people to try both and decide for their selves?

Gnome just works
KDE is full of bloat and unnecessarily complicated.

>>106388577 (OP)
KDE has enough small issues that makes the overall experience pretty jarring. I guess you could say that it's death by paperKUTs lol.

There was no monetary incentive Ubuntu used to be all in the desktop. Till they realized they were only losing money.
They cancelled Unity 7 and 8 and Ubuntu phone.

>>106388577 (OP)
the only environment that should be pushed is the rat. Stable, fast, modern, works for everyone on any device

Huh? I assume you are confused with my reply?

>>106389692
Assuming everyone who does things you don't like is a "troon" is pure schizobabble. Take your meds, chuddy.

GNOME: just werks
KDE: jus*krashes*

90% of the people I met that used linux and abandoned it all happen to have used gnome
Everyone else not using gnome tend to stay and learn even if they don't make the full switch. Gnome and every adjacent project connected to them seem to love mediocrity and it's pathetic that valve has to pressure them do do bare minimum which is why I pray some other group forks the wayland project and makes them fade into nothingness.

>>106388643
You're missing out on use cases you can't even imagine

>>106388577 (OP)
fedora is at least offering KDE preinstalled as an "edition" rather than a "spin."
is there an official KDE ubuntu, or do you have to use kubuntu/install it yourself? i was gonna check, but ubuntu.com is currently giving me a 503 error.

>Fedora
Because Gnome is pushed by Red Hat, the antichrist of Linux.
>Ubuntu
Canonical is trying to make Gnome usable, which is dumb because they have Unity.

>>106388577 (OP)
It appeals the queer demographic

>>106388577 (OP)
This is how I know you are retard who only repeats what your favorite youtuber says instead of actually doing things by yourself. Fedora, unlike Ubuntu, does promote KDE in official events now. And has images with other DEs by default, the Fedora spins. Instead of a whole new whole independent team working on it (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu).

>>106388577 (OP)
don't get it either. Everyone comng from windows wants KDE not gnome

Gnome 2 was the GOAT. GNOME 3 is retarded

>Why are they pushing GNOME when KDE is better?
Gnome is better for the retards using these distros since it prevents you from completely destroying you DE by fiddling with shit you don't know in the settings.
It's really that simple, I had to fix some classmate's desktop in the school computer because he started changing every setting he saw and he couldn't use the computer anymore since everything was utterly fucked up.

lxde and lxqt look like shit though and are barely customizable

>>106388577 (OP)
They are both gay, but nothing beats Gnome when it comes to gayness.

>>106391564
haha are you joking?

>>106391381
LXDE is, not LXQt

>>106391605
QT

>>106391594
show me one good looking lxqt environment then that doesn't look like 2010 mate

>>106388643
GNOME is nice because I don't really care about configuration and don't want to fuck with it. It's opinionated by design, with the aim of having sane defaults, which works well for some people and not so well for others who would really like to configure every aspect of their desktop.
What I like is that a bunch of stuff really is configurable with dconf-editor, and that I can use dconf dump and dconf load to save and restore settings across other systems.

>>106388643
forced v-sync with fullscreen games! :D
also not being able to change anything without third-party shit.

>>106391652
sure, but just browse unixporn and find something you like it's all subjective after all.

>>106388577 (OP)
Gnome works better on my x86 tablet PC.

Just use DWM.

GNVME is for the heads down WVRKING MVN
TroonDE is for... whatever the fuck troons are doing. Valve with their dogshit electron pozz of a client isn't the endorsement you think it is.

>>106389315
hey that was my thread

>>106392546
kek, if it weren't for crap like this I probably would use KDE instead GNOME.
But I've encountered similar shit too many times to fuck with it anymore. GNOME mostly just does what I need it to do while staying out of the way.
The key is to accept that GNOME is the way it is and to roll with it rather than try to make it what you want to be. That mindset doesn't work for some.

>>106389315
Konqi does have a nice tush though

>>106393083
>The key is to accept that GNOME is the way it is and to roll with it rather than try to make it what you want to be. That mindset doesn't work for some.
this, so much this!

>>106393155
Yeah, the key is that it's an opinionated model of software.
Some people like opinionated. If you can accept the defaults, it means not having to fiddle with anything.
For those who disagree with it, it's shit and it hurts.
That's why GNOME is so divisive. I like it personally but don't blame people who don't even a little bit because not everyone wants the same things.

>>106393536
I like how you talk bro. I bet youre a nice guy to drink a beer with and talk about tech shit haha

I like my beer but I'm more of a rum man these days, it's amazing the quality you can get at a fair price once you get outside the Bacardi and Captain Morgan swills

>>106393083

Where does this "gnome cannot/should not be customized" come from? Gsettings (or the graphical settings menu) has a ton of settings. Picrel is my shell function to configure gnome.

>>106391677
this, I just install tweaks and do the dconf stuff once and kinda never ever touch them again. What I'm left is just regular system settings without clutter of customization of literally everything

>>106393816
I didn't say it can't be tweaked (mine is tweaked, after all), just that it's designed to be used a particular way and that people who want to veer too much from that might have a bad time.

>>106393536
Alright, but you know you can configure KDE to look and behave exactly like Gnome, right? I'm pretty sure KDE is lighter than Gnome too. And if you ever find that some behaviour gets in your way, that you could be more efficient if something was different, configuring that to work like you want is quick and easy on KDE, while on Gnome either it's impossible or at best yoi're relying on some extension developer who might get bored of Gnomes bullshit and stop maintaining the extension.

>>106394816
>Alright, but you know you can configure KDE to look and behave exactly like Gnome, right?
Of course. I've done it. But that's the thing - if I like my layout to be like this (and I do), I can just... you know... use GNOME.
>I'm pretty sure KDE is lighter than Gnome too.
I don't care about lightness. I'm not running a toaster here and don't mind my computer actually, you know, doing stuff.
>And if you ever find that some behaviour gets in your way, that you could be more efficient if something was different, configuring that to work like you want is quick and easy on KDE, while on Gnome either it's impossible or at best yoi're relying on some extension developer who might get bored of Gnomes bullshit and stop maintaining the extension.
I've been running primarily GNOME for a few years now and haven't had that problem. I run Debian, so an update isn't going to be introducing that problem at any point.
KDE is fine. I'm not a hater at all. I have it on my lighter laptop, nicely configured to work just the way I want it. But I prefer GNOME personally.
I like that both options exist.

Because KDE sucks dick.

>>106391713
It’s Linux. Every fucking package on your system is “third-party shit”.

Every bit of code is written by some mouth breathing tranny that’s contributing code for free. It’s all fucking third-party.

Use a different argument.

iirc KDE had some weird issue with non gpl compliant code or something, although it was resolved like 20 years ago. That's what gave gnome its foothold as the default de in a lot of distros. Last time I checked gnome appears to be some sort of touchscreen tablet or phone interface now, so not sure why anyone is using it on a desktop.
