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.
too big but consistent paddings vs. compact but inconsistent paddings
using sway btw.
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.
I like gnome
I admire your bravery to admit such a thing. You’re a fool, but a brave fool.
Imma throw hands, respect my gnomies.
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.
Good that we have choices, no? (I use GNOME btw)
Unless your choice is not to use systemd.
Laughs in xfce
mate is pretty alright too
you wot

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.
Fucking love KDE dude. Plasma6 is my jam.
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
Baffling opinion
When is the last time you tried KDE?I think 2023?
Strongly recommend you try Plasma 6.
Even the early release candidates were extremely polished. It’s an entirely different ball game.
“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!
I don’t hate GNOME but I dislike GTK a lot
Cinnamon is where it is at. Also, I am happy you found something you like. 👍
I’m excited for Wayland support
I’ve been bashing my head against sway for days I just wanna go back to i3 😭
I started on sway and moved to swayfx, out of curiosity what are some of the things i3 provided that sway lacks?
Nothing that it lacks I’ve just never touched Wayland because my hardware hasn’t supported it (I use ewaste machines primarily) and I’m fighting wayland, sway, swaybar and basically the whole thing because I want everything to work the way it did with x11 but it doesn’t and I’m resistant to change.
I’ve just switched to KDE and it’s great, but it has about the same amount of cons as gnome.
I gave Cosmic a go recently and it’s great, but not quite ready yet. I think in a few updates time, I’ll be switching. It’s kind of like a cross-over of gnome and KDE and addresses a lot of the long standing pain points of both.
What kind of pain points? Tbh kde is as close to the ideal desktop as it gets in my opinion, it mostly gets out of your way, but when you need something it’s almost always already there just waiting.
KDE is pretty enough that I’m willing to put up with my decade-old laptop freezing every time I switch windows
Cinnamon is reliable enough that I’m willing to put up with it being kinda ugly on my desktop PC
I still don’t know enough about Linux to have any opinions deeper than aesthetic differences
