    While I love KDE, why do we have to have this mentality? I don’t care how much of a joke it is or not, just let people use what they want to use. I’ve never used GNOME and I’m not about to start commenting about it but I do know there are a ton of people who use it and love it as much as I love KDE. It’s like the whole Android vs iPhone debate; who fucking cares?

        IMO being part of a community and watching a project evolve is fun, e.g. using Plasma over the years and seeing it grow. I just don’t get the point of bashing another project on the merits of “it’s not the thing I use so it’s inherently bad”. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

          I actually use Gnome, because I’m forced to use Ubuntu LTS at work. Having to use GNOME 9-5 every fucking day is torturous. That’s why I hate it with so much with a passion. They won’t let me use anything else. GNOME is the worst thing ever created! It’s an abomination of all software, there’s literally nothing nothing as garbage as GNOME. It’s incredible how it only gets worse. At this point I’m about to find GNOME developers and explode their computers so they cannot continue polluting this world with hot garbage. I’ll hack all GNOME repos and delete GNOME from existence.

          KDE Chad draggy stomps GNOME dirty feet so much it’s not even fun.

      While there’s something to be said for Android vs iPhone from an ideological standpoint, that also doesn’t apply for KDE and Gnome, both of which are OSS, bay-bee

        I’d argue there are two ideologies.

        Gnome focuses on design and user interaction, then features.

        Plasma focuses on configuration and modularity, then design.

        It does seem like they are starting to converge though. With gnome focusing on more features, and Plasma focusing more on design and consistency.

      theyre just farming engagement. lukewarm takes are the lifeblood of good ecosystems but generally ignored on social web.
