    Thats not Gnome. You need to remove the glasses. Hair is not an option. Two eyes, mouth, nose. That’s all you get. And you are not allowed to focus on all three, only one at a time can be shown.

      I don’t know, with Gnome extensions you menage to change anything you’d want to and even more.

      Maybe not anything, but the options are there

    I migrated from Kubuntu after 4 years to Debian 12 last month. Default GNOME DE. Yesterday I uninstalled that shit and installed Plasma. GNOME is pretty and shit, but just wasn’t for me.

      Every time I try GNOME I get very confused about what they’re training to achieve. I don’t like a lot of basic default settings, a story in itself. But the worst part is that they can only be changed via advanced tooling not installed by default (extensions, GNOME tweak). How is that user friendly?

        Completely agree, I understad the power of gnome extensions and why some people love them, but they shouldn’t be needed for basic things like showing minimize buttons, tray icons, etc. KDE also has widgets, but those add extra functionality or alternatives to what plasma already has.

      Yeah I’ve been using Gnome for a few years and decided to try xfce and kde again, kde kept crashing then reloading and wouldnt save where I put my widgets. And xfce was good but I couldn’t get Awesome WM to work and I missed wayland. So back to Gnome I guess

        That’s weird, for me KDE is rock solid, even with Wayland. GNOME was a resource hog, crashed a couple of times (Debian 12).

    All these KDE vs. Gnome discussions. I tried them all in a production environment with smb shares WebDAV, caldav etc. I can use them all the way it is usable. But best working from the ground, without to much hassle, is simply gnome.

    If someone is new to Linux I would always lead them to gnome.

    The biggest thing for me with these two which makes KDE the better DE is that with Gnome I have to change the way I work, with KDE I change it to the way I work. That’s what it all boils down to for me.

      The way you work might not be the best way to work. That’s kind of the realization I had to have to use GNOME - now using anything else feels like a chore.

        Now if we could just find The Best Way To Work Bible (King James Version of course) we could then be told what the best way to work is.

        The way you work is largely a personal choice defined by personal preference. You may have found a better way to work, but I’m quite satisfied with the way I work.

        :)

        • Just wanted to agree and add that it’s not my DE’s job to tell me the best way to work. That’s why I use KDE even though I like some things about the GNOME environment. Let me get there in my own time, let me set the things up how I want. My work isn’t your work, and your workflow shouldn’t be forced onto mine.

          GNOME devs care about their vision, KDE devs care about their users. This has been plain since the early days of GNOME 3.
