lets be honest, if you're seriously using a pc in 2026 you're using plasma.
>>107902079I am using Windows. Like what's normal in my country.
>>107902079Nope, still using the DWM build I have from years ago.Still werks.
>>107902079Kde wallpaper engine plug in is nice. I used to have my ss wallpapers set, but I'm back on windows for work temporarily
>*krashes*gnome doesnt have this issue
>>107902079I use xdg-desktop-portal-kde but otherwise no.
>>107902127Indians need to be banned from 4chan as a whole
>>107902406Gnome has the issue of looking like fucking phone OS made for tech illiterate boomers. If this is what you want to use thats fine but jesus christ Im never going to stop laughing at you for seething about KDE for going on 5 years now.
>>107902201based and same
>>107902493>basically beg OEM's to start using you on mobile phones and tablets>dedicate years of work to making your DE an iClone>no hardware manufacturer anywhere gives a flying fuck everTo develop GNOME is to suffer.
>>107902493GTK2 was fine and GTK3 was okay. GTK4 just made shit worse.
>>107902406Gnome is one of the biggest reasons new users quickly write off linux as a serious choice. It being the face of linux for years has done serious damage to adoption.>but they could just use a different DE/distroA new user doesn't know, nor are they going to jump straight into customization and the endless arguments of distro choice. They download the most recommended thing, and because of gnome that thing looks like ass and has constant friction to use. You may not like it, but first impressions and defaults *are* important.
Don't care. Still using GNOME.
>>107903515>indian gnome faggot is also a footfagyou cant even make this shit up
>>107902406>be gnome dev>have three dildos up my ass because I'm evidently better than everyone else>they're all inserted sideways because that's the way I prefer to do it and so that's now the standard that everyone else has to followI bet you inserted your anal dildos lengthways like the pleb you are.
>>107903638>KDJeet user accusing someone else of being Indian
>>107903505This. Snobby snowflakes can bitch all they want, but people switching from windows to linux are expecting it to operate like windows. For better or worse, if linux wants to court mainstream users, it needs to meet the expectations of mainstream users.
>>107902079XFCE is the best. Too bad zoomers only like flashy things
arch + i3 is perfect why would i care about what some fat neckbeard has to say? desktop environments are bloat
why is gnome allowed to be called a desktop environment when they're doing gay mobile/apple shit?
>>107903734post forearm with timestamp. refusal to do so within the next 5 hours will be objective and definitive proof that the anti kde schizo is in fact indian
>>107904212propaganda advertising
All KDEtards do is lie to make themselves feel goodReal, not opt-in, analytics tell the truth https://github.com/ublue-os/countme/blob/main/growth_upstream.svgAnd this is after Fedora KDE was promoted as a main edition and after Nate's campaign at promoting Fedora KDE as the best KDE distro
>>107902079Cinnamon looks better with less effort
>>107902079it's the best option and what I use. if it krashed less I would love that.I was sorting my jav collection earlier and the entire fucking OS locked up so that was good.
>>107904470thiseven the opt-in arch ones they keep bringing up show them as second to gnome-desktop, they just never include that package
>>107904470>https://github.com/ublue-os/countme/blob/main/growth_upstream.svg>popularity equals qualityI cant even pretend this is a serious idea. You're just legitimately retarded anon
>>107902079Isn't this guy a pedophile that was outdated for wanting to fuck his underage sister and then made a shitty apology saying he is actually gay?https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CSAGa58aan2rly7uKx_GEg7DL4rWC1FV9biymeWztAA/
>>107904470>>107904485did you really just reply to yourself? holy shit you are so fucking pathetic i cant stop laughing
>>107904513>>107904470 #>>107904485 (You) #Krashed again saaar?
>>107902079I use X
I'm using plasma but fuck me is it difficult to actually make it look half decent unless you believe that turning it into Mac OS Sequoia or Win11 is amazing. The defaults are fucking terrible.
>>107902127>Spyware is normal in your countryYeah we know
>>107902433Indians use mostly Linux
>>107904798No, indians mostly use Android phones, which counts as linux. But for desktop they mostly use windows.
IDK if its just my monitor being cheap but VRR freesync doesnt work well with KDE its very buggy
>using a dengmi
>>107902079I hate ugly DEs. Plasma is terrible in the design aspect. Even Gnome is better.
GN*ME will neverhttps://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8671
>>107902079I do love KDEm it's perfect for my workflow, and for my has been stable since 5.0, with no problem. I only wish they continue x11 support. >>107902201I tried DWM for a month, I love the efficient use of space with tiling, specially on my laptop. I got work done real fast with my shortcuts, and since I really really hate touchpads, it was easy for me switching to a keyboard-centric workflow.However 2 things made DWM impracticable for me:1)I could not get it working with SDDM, no matter what I did it always crashout, and I always had to start it manually2)I could not get dolphin or any file manager to display previews/thumbnails of images e videos. And without this it makes my job really hard, so this is a pretty much a hard requisite.Does anyone has any suggestion on how to fix any of those problems? I was using Arch btw,Also, TOTAL FOOT DEATH
>>107902406GNOME crashes more than KDE at this point
>>107902079I use xfce. I won't use anything else.
>>107904470>4.2k people use my distro>i still have less trouble with it than arch users
For me it's xfce or i3
>>107904538what seems to be the problem here?
>>107904984Nice pic anon, however I think I'll stay with GNOME. It really is the comfiest, I'm sure you'll understand :)
>>107905214I don't understand, but I'm always in favor of people making retarded decisions that only fucks them.
>>107902079way too buggy i can look past design inconsistencies but it jsut straight up doesnt work>>107902201this i'm like 3 versions behind DEs are a sham i don't need all of that shitware i just need a file manager and a window manager. it just works
>>107904984>could not get dolphin or any file manager to display previews/thumbnails of images e videos.this has nothing to do with your window manager. you probably needed to install ffmpegthumbnailer or something.
>>107903726>fantasizing about other mens assholes>kde userchecks out
>>107905027Lol, not true. I don't really like GNOME, but it's stable. I hat numerous issues with KDE, yes the "krashes" meme is real. I never had this on GNOME. I'll check out XFCE, once they support Wayland. KDE Plasma could be so good, but they really need to work on point releases for the Steam Deck and Fedora at least.
>>107902493okay but gnome doesn't have the *krashes* issue>FUFCKFIEXS MY KDE NEVERR KRASH-*krashes*
>>107902079based
>>107903823XFCE is great but I've moved onto KDE, CPUs are powerful enough that unless you're running a very old rig the extra KDE features are worth it
>>107904572the funny part is: no matter what you try to do, it will always look ugly as a sin. kde is the result of amateurish work, it'll always be inconsistent and unstable.
>kde
>>107905576I did install ffmpegthumbs and kdegraphics-thumbnailers, it didn't work.
hi op, im the first reply in this thread that wasnt you replying to yourselfi wish you people werent allowed to use the internet. fucking brown ape.
>>107902079>>107902493True. I switched from Windows 11 and as a first time Linux user KDE is just the best. I moved my taskbar to the middle, made my right side icons the same as I had on windows, changed some other things installed a nice icon pack and my workflow has continued almost as it did on Windows. I tried GNOME and other stuff but nothing allows for that level of customization and familiarity for a windows refugee. I guess if youre autistic you might be more into window tile managers or whatever but normal people prefer a standard desktop layout.
>>107904859Try it on Windows as well, wouldn't be surprised if you were suffering from some driver / software issue. VRR generally works on Windows because lots of people use that to play games.
>>107904905that's fucking cool
>>107904501i dont get it, mike from phoronix and brodie from youtube are not the same guy
