I always look at the “gang signs” they make with total confusion. These ones are all different. I was even trying to see if they were spelling something.
I know a fair bit of gang signs. From left to right you have P, L, A, S, M and A.
I dunno that I would have made Gnome as it is, and I don’t know that all the advances to Gnome has been better or not, but, kde, really? Maybe you’re just a boring guy
Why would you want a “fun” interface? Both KDE and Gnome are perdy nice, by my noob standards
too big but consistent paddings vs. compact but inconsistent paddings
using sway btw.
I really don’t like gnome personally but I’m glad it exists cause other people canlike things I don’t
My problem is people keep infecting the world with software designed with Gnome’s “Mac with Meningitis” style sheet.
Upvoted solely for “Mac with Meningitis”
FUCK
pointless fighting
ALL MY HOMIES
recognize that choice is good and what works for some folk won’t work for others. some people want a highly polished experience right out of the box, even if it can’t be customized a ton, and that’s fine. some devs want a UI toolkit that is solid, polished and guarantees that your app will look the same no matter the user’s environment, and that’s fine.
(i use KDE btw)
Gnome is great! My go to… I don’t understand people sayin it uses too much ram. My 2011 macbook (has 4gb ram) running arch with vanilla gnome only uses around 700mb at desktop. Not that bad.
Yea people tend to uncritically repeat things they hear.
I mean GNOME is…fine. I don’t use it, because if I wanted something that chewed up 3-5GB of RAM I’d just run Windows, but if you like GNOME, you do you.
This is Linux. It’s all about choice. Run what you like. It’s your goddamn computer. And that’s what we all love together.
Gnome uses around 1.6GB on my machine and runs a bit smoother than KDE (although last time I tested was 2½ years ago; so that may no longer be the case. I’m on a 240Hz panel aswell, so my experience may not be applicable to most users).
Glad they optimized it. Last time I tried it the RAM usage was atrocious.
Since 4 months I use Gnome on a 100Hz display at work. At home I am on a 60Hz panel. I cannot justify buying a new display, because the older 60Hz has still better colors and automatic brightness, which isn’t very common, it seems.
But I want higher refresh rates now everywhere; a dilemma!
I’m using a Dell S2522HG, that I calibrated using a colorimeter. Best display I’ve ever had. Not sure if they sell it anymore as 24" panels seem to be dying out.
They explicitly banned AI generated code from their extensions if that skews your mind.
How would they know
If they get suspicious on parts of the code, they ask the programmer why that part is the way that it is, and thought process coming up with it.
I can understand this to an extent. Its the same with copying code you didn’t understand from stackoverflow.
the primary driver for the ban is not “hot new thing” but code on which no thought has been put into or copied blindly with zero context around it.
I like gnome
I admire your bravery to admit such a thing. You’re a fool, but a brave fool.
I also really like GNOME and was a diehard for a loong while but god damn Plasma6 is amazing and I don’t know if I can go back to GNOME. I swear KDE went from being one of the worst examples of UI (UX was always alright) design to one of the best.
Gnome I customize once, take a day, have some fun, and I’m done. Kde I customize at least once everyday. and always want to change something because of how simple it is to move/add/change stuff. I end up spending more time customizing than using my pc. I’ll prob swap back to kde at some point, but gnome extensions just remind me of cydia and feel good to use. I like opinionated extensions that ppl have ppl have put thought and development time in to, like the extensions are usually intutive and have gone through a lot of testing to get to they layout that they have. They just work.
I feel you completely. A long while back now I was really into tiling window managers and all that stuff but I’d never actually do anything with my computer because I was always tweaking things
Imma throw hands, respect my gnomies.
Good that we have choices, no? (I use GNOME btw)
Unless your choice is not to use systemd.
Laughs in xfce
There are dozens of us!
mate is pretty alright too

Fucking love KDE dude. Plasma6 is my jam.
I hate GNOME not because it looks bad (though some parts do) but because of their ways of doing stuff. Best example imo is libadwaita and client side decorations.
I will never understand why users don’t like client side decorations. I get why developers might dislike it. But the title bar is Gnome is functional.
I love KDE but every window having a big, windows 95 ass, useless bar doing nothing but wasting screen space feels so old and clunky. No one needs that much handle on a window.
For people who don’t know what libadwaita means here - GNOME by default does not support one of the most common way gui apps do tray icons, you need an extension for it (which is obviously pre-installed by many distros).
This is not what libadwaita is. Libadwaita is their modern unified library for the adwaita theme
Cuz who needs a tray
This, so much this!
Kde looks unpolished. Always reminds me of windows.
I don’t know why, but gnome is just attractive in a way that makes me want to suck gnome dick
“Unpolished” and “like Windows 7” is exactly what I want. I don’t want to be distracted by my DE, it should just work.
Theres enough people who say the get lost in customization instead of use but hey if it works for you, you do you!
In times like these when lots of people who have only ever known Windows are looking for a new place to land with minimal friction, “reminds me of Windows” is a good thing.
I use niri btw
I want to, but I miss the top panel the way gnome-shell has it implemented.
Is it possible to run niri instead of mutter together with gnome-shell?
I fear GNOME doesn’t have support for running with other compositors, but I could be wrong, couldn’t find anything about it online.
From what I’ve searched, a good alternative is PaperWM, a GNOME shell extension that provides tiling and scrolling features similar to Niri.
…you may also be interested in trying Niri with Noctalia Shell, though I don’t know if it’s easy to setup, or how similar it is to GNOME’s UI, since I just use Waybar.
Thx, I may need to look closer at noctalia-shell. If it can provide some comfort I am used to from gnome-shell, this could be it.
I considered PaperWM, too. Again, I must say. I have used it years ago. In the past it couldn’t keep up with the Gnome development. I tried to use it in later version by fat-fingering in some files. But there was a time when I could not make it compatible again. I havn’t tried it since there is new momentum in the project.
When niri first came out, I tried it with waybar. I am not sure, what I missed most, the way I can start programs or the ability to change typical settings in the gnome-control-center. The last bit could be an issue with noctalia-shell for me, too.
I hopefully will have time to experiment between the years.
you are an awesome person
i did use awesome many months, maybe a year or two ago, but nowadays i’m a niri person
