A picture of Lara Croft in new Tomb Raider hand in hand with Lara Croft from the old Tomb raider Series. The new one labeled GNOME and the old one KDE.

    I used Gnome for years and can honestly say that if you put a lot of effort into it, mess with configs, and install a few extras, it rises to a new level of kind of shitty but usable.

    Fuck, KDE was pretty a decade ago, and Gnome is still just plugging away, being the bare minimum.

      I honestly don’t really see it, I think vanilla GNOME looks amazing, while KDE Plasma just screams Windows 7 to me.

      Having said it that, both are great DE’s with vastly different approaches. So these can definitely just co exist, while we can both agree that both DE’s are great for different people and workflows.

      One thing I’ll give gnome, it’s really good for 2-in-1s. The desktop metaphor works really well for tablet and trackpad use out of the box.
