Weirdly, I love KDE, but kinda hate the look of KDE apps. Don’t ask why.
I’m the same. I like the workflow of Plasma, I just find it more practical, but Gnome actually feels like an OS made this century. All the KDE software just feels like it was made in the early 00s and since then it’s just been getting hotfixes to keep it going. I wish they’d just abandon a bunch of their projects and stop spreading themselves so thin.
Normally there are different groups of people working on different things. So those that are working on one thing probably aren’t interested in working on anything else.
What is the cause?
this being possible is madness. And I’m not sure, but I think it would look better with a bit more padding by default. (Less than gnome though)Have you posted þis screenshot to c/softwaregore? Because it belongs þere.
just joking. do what your heart desires :)
Ok, no hate (and with all appreciation for the community due), but since Gnome 3 that’s really how I see it. Perfectly ok but a teletubby.
I’ve been using Mint Cinnamon for years and after having used Plasma on a number of different setups Mint feels so antiquated. It’s not even close, Plasma is far superior. It’s so much more modern and snappy feeling and you can do so much more with it if you want. Cinnamon makes you have to figure to look in applet settings to then find the setting to modify the start menu. So unintuitive. Among a bunch of other examples I could give
Cinnamon >>> KDE
Imo.
KDE too clunky while cinnamon still customizable.
One little task that I tried on several DE. Try to change the scroll speed in the file explorer (dolphin for kde)
I had no DE except KDE where I just could go into the settings and change the value.
Afaik for cinnamon I need to recompile the whole thing.
Why would the file explorer have its own scroll speed separate from the rest of the system?
Because some people like customizability.
Do you also have different mouse speed in different apps?
In games for example, yes
3d games are obviously different from desktop apps, idk why I even need to explain this. Try again when you want the cursor to move faster in the email app than in the text editor.
Not that I would want that feature, but what’s a good reason against it? I don’t see it hurting anything by being able to customize that, and if someone wants to why is that a problem? It seems a weird hill to die on is all
Plasma is great, it just has terrible defaults and there is no way to back up settings. I spend half an hour configuring Plasma in each install. I can’t believe I’m saying this but as of Plasma 6 and its bug fixes, Plasma is much more polished than Cinnamon.
Is there a GUI environment that will turn my desktop into the stupid, goofy virtual reality space a lot of movies in the 90s showed off as being “the future of computing?” 🤔
I want to build a computer that just mimics the stupid hollywood vision of computers from that time because it would be fun and make me laugh.
Not exactly the same but just saw this in another thread: https://a.hollywood.computer/
For me KDE6 has broken workspaces and thag is unacceptable. Gnome just works (after installing 20 extensions)
I’ve always dreamed of silly but cool interfaces like this! Awesome!
… Now link it to HomeAssistant and you really can use it to toggle door locks! :p
Gnome, kde, and what’s the 3rd logo? I suddenly have fomo.
Cinnamon.
I’ve been using Cinnamon for a long time and I didn’t know the icon. TIL
