I. Fucking. Hate. KDE. A lot. Words can't describe how much i hate this piece of shit. It is the anti-soul, it never 'just werks' it is the anti-christ in graphical-enviroment form. Everything about this projects offends me on a deep psychological level. Die, KDE, die.
>>109474444I wanted to avoid systemd, so i hopped distros and tried KDE. Holy shit it's.... not good. Buggy, bloated, customization results in crashes. I went back to systemd to get back on gnome. and i HATE systemd.
>>109474444It's skill issue, you fucking GNOME Jew. It's literally the best desktop environment and mogs everything else. Pathetic faggot kike.
>>109474457That's what happened to me>>109474469KuckDE cultist
Werks on my muchheen :-).
>>109474483>That's what happened to meHard skill issue.>KuckDE cultistShut the fuck up kike.
>>109474483GNOME is the only correct choice.>KDE: broken, bloated pile of pig shit>XFCE: uncustomizable dogshit that looks like it's stuck in the 90s>Cinnamon: LOL>Cosmic: not bad, but not ready for mainstream >Everything else: literally who?
>>109474558>GNOME is the only correct choice.https://woltman.com/gnome-bad/Read this dipshit. GNOME fanboy calls KDE "broken" and "bloated". Fucking kike. Jew brain cannot handle multitasking.
>>109474592>KuckDE Jew is PISSEDWoweeee this jew is PISSED
>>109474444Trying "too hard" to be modern, imo.
>>109474749Exactly
>>109474558>Sway: Just works
>>109474469Just tried cinnamon, it's like gnome2 works pretty good too and doesn't support Wayland. It's good too and xfce isn't bad either
>>109474444Literally works on my machine. Like no joke I remember when 6 came out and it was so broken I switched back to 5 but right fucking now it just works without any issue on my end.
I like it. It has a lot of features and I'm not a long term Linux user so it's a layout I'm used to.Also has only maybe crashed once or twice but recovers immediately.
>>1094744440 reason to use a DE in 2026 when Quickshell existsnice digits though
>>109474781sway by itself might just work but actually trying to use it as a complete system is impossible. the wm only environment is so janky and fragmented it makes daily use unbearable.an example of this is just trying to find an image and drag-and-drop it onto the browser to post here: first i open dolphin (because it's the only file manager capable of actually loading thumbnails in a large directory fast) and immediately get blinded by a flash bang because it defaults back to the light mode theme if you aren't logged in under kde. also you have to set default apps somewhere manually with only using a wm and dolphin might not even respect it so i have to right click 'open terminal here' then mpv the file i want to play because double clicking on it won't work, since kde isn't there to tell dolphin what program to run it in. there are many more high friction examples like no minimizing windows, or no alt tabbing things for floating mode windows, or trying to use one of those tui file managers, it's all JANK.full desktop environments are nice and integrated, they just work. pic related, took me 2 seconds to super+e, ctrl+l to my 72,000 image directory, then drag the one i want and alt tab to the browser to drop it.
>>109474444Jesus christ, calm down commie.This is one of the active maintainers on their matrix channel.
I can use Cinnamon, KDE, Windows, it's all the same shit when your program is up. My biggest knock against KDE is the inability to span a giant image across multiple monitors. In before some workaround hack... I mean default KDE can't do that. Cinnamon and Windows can. It's mildly annoying because I have 2 identical monitors side by side and yeah, you can do that in Windows and Cinnamon.

>>109475416Slicing the image into 2 or 3 is not a hack and is basic computer literacy. Why even use linux if you can't be fucked to slice an image into parts?
>>109475556no that's a hack and a workaround. KDE is outdated as fuck in this regard and you're coping hard.
>>109475584You're just filtered. Keep using your windows GUI and digesting the agenda of the beast, you slave.
>>109474444Kde connect just werks very well for me. Use it to control my htpc builds from my phone on my lan. Could not ask for better solution desu.
>>109474444works on my machine
Quads wasted on a Larp. Sage
>>109474444Come home, mouse man.
I wanted to like x11 but it refuses to close file open windows so I went back to plasma. One day.
GNOME is worse than KDE but not by much.Mate and XFCE are pretty much the same. They're nice and "just work" but suffer from GTKancer 3.LXDE is dead. LXQt is really nice but lacking it's own suite and suffers from some KDE-isms.Trinity would be perfect if the project scope was narrowed with a dedicated team for fixing bugs and upkeep with modern standards.
>>109476385why does it have such ugly icons though?
>>1094744442026 and KDE still has not made touchpad gestures usable or created a decent default theme. Grim.
KDE is one of those things people endlessly complain about but I never had an issue with. Just works. Granted, I have only used it for 6 months but that's still pretty long without issue imo. The other major one I see is Firefox. No problems in like a decade at least and people make wow it doesn't work threads every day.
i’m about a year in on linux (after a short ubuntuspill like 20 years ago) and i constantly see this seething about KDE and KrashDE etc., but i’ve yet to have a single issue with it. What is supposedly the problem? I haven’t seen a single actual reason cited, just ”it just suck bro”-tier shir.
I switched from Cinnamon to Plasma about six months ago and have yet to see any of these issues people complain about.
>>109474444KDE feels like it's made by well-meaning, but kinda incompetent people, resulting in a mishmash of good ideas, but the overall experience somehow amounts to less than the sum of its parts.Gnome feels like it's made by malicious people who actively hate their user base for not understanding their glorious vision of how a DE should work. Cinnamon is the only DE I've used where I thought that the developers actually use the software they're working on daily.

>>109476758There are a lot of things I don't like about Gnome, the highest praise I can give it is that it's probably the best user experience if you're on a laptop since the gestures actually work as intended.
>>109474558Based true and real
There's a reason Apple and Microsoft have been copying KDE features over the last two decades and not Gnomehttps://www.webpronews.com/microsoft-windows-ripping-off-kde-plasma-again/
>>109474444I have a long experience with KDE.>KDE 2 was good.>KDE 3 was getting bloated and had bugs, especially early on.>KDE 4 had even more useless bloat and even more bugs, especially early on. It was annoying.>I was slow to switch to KDE 5 to avoid the early buggy period. Then I finally upgraded to KDE 5.4, which in a sensible world should have been stable enough and encountered a deluge of bugs instead along with the expected bloat. And to think that the 5.0 version had to have been even buggier than that!After enduring the bugs for half an hour I switched to LXQt and later to XFCE to avoid systemd. XFCE is pretty great but needed a bunch of setting tweaks to work to my liking.
the animations annoy me a lot in kde, but they can be disabled. same with gnome.
>>109477424Cool so your experience ended like 15 years ago
I finally installed KDE because I have been kind of procastinating doing the "new thing", and people shitting on it on 4chan, and I actually enjoy it now. It's so powerful. Like, it's a GUI for Linux, if you get what I mean.Don't be scared. It's very powerful and lets you configure evrything exactly the way you want it to look like. :3
I think the thing that bothers me most about Gnome is the "mac"ification of linux. Just like apple, the gnome devs want to make decisions for you pre emptively without your input because they think they know best. That is their entire design philosophy, and it is to the point where they will constantly argue with people who ask them why they cant do something because they cant imagine someone doing something that they do not personally do. I think this is either an autism thing, an ego thing, or a combination of both
>>109474444I wish there was a better alternative. Sadly there isn't. Gnome makes you want to chop off your balls too.
>>109479944Honestly kinda based, make things as you like them. If people don't like it they can use a different DE or make their own.And I shall choose to use KDE instead.
You can only have so much
>>109480002That's fine for small and individual projects but Gnome is funded by businesses like Red Hat who should really be holding them to higher expectations
>KDE usersI hope you're having a good day>Gnome usersI hope you're having whatever is the gnome equivalent of a 'good day'>XFCE users>
>>109476385Based
>>109474444KuckDE is trash
>>109474444It has the best Wayland compositor though, mutter and wlroots have horrible input latency compared to kwin
Gee I sure wonder what kind of man would be behind threads like these
>>109484415Source?
power settings shut off monitors after x amount of minutes... don't have anything on your second monitor? okay blyat, 640x480! now you're fucked until you restartjust another shit tier feature of GayDE (the word gay instead of the letter K)
>>109474558>xfce4>uncostumizableAre you fucking retarded? You can literally bend it like a pretzel to match any ui made until now without touching a line of code. It even has a gui utility (panel prophiles) with preconfigured setups that also allows for saving your personal ones.
Loonix retards are hilarious
>>109486592that looks like total shit. looks like some windows 98 trash. you stuck in the 90's? you still have your Goonies poster on the wall, don't you?
>>109474444only gripe with kde is whenever you sort folders by type it always resets whenever i restart my pc
>>109486920Works for me
>>109474444Ebussy quads of truth
>>109474444i put it on my fathers computer and he hasnt complained about it yet no way he would be able to use gnome though
>>109475373What's his problem?
