6.1 isn’t out yet, and I can’t wait for 6.2 already.
Genuinely feels great to be hopeful about some parts of technology/software like this. I eagerly look forward to an update from KDE and sometimes GNOME.
Compare that to Google, Microsoft, any other public big tech, I start to just question why I’m not living in the forest as a new member of a Bigfoot extended family.
Every update on Google or MS: Oh god please no.
Every update on FOSS apps, Linux: Give me more daddy.
Gnome updates are like god playing dice.
Hey KDE Team: 😘 ❤️ Please don’t ever change!
I’m weirdly excited about password-less lockscreens.
How would that work? I couldn’t find it in that post.
I have seen it mentioned elsewhere, such as https://www.phoronix.com/news/Plasma-6.1-Last-Minute-Features.
Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!
Hey, we worked at your airport for 4 months last year
KDE is the best desktop environment. KDE is proof GNOME is a fricking hot garbage
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?
Tribalism is fun
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.
Removed by mod
All that text and not even one mention of what you don’t like with Gnome.
You need a break from the internet.
Couldn’t you install KDE?
I use KDE,btw
username checks out
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
theyre just farming engagement. lukewarm takes are the lifeblood of good ecosystems but generally ignored on social web.
It’s not garbage and if anything, it makes plasma better by being a bit of competition and offering simplicity.
I think it’s more similar to the mac idea of simplicity, but there isn’t much new features.
Gnome is way better that Mac OS
What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.
In my opinion the title of best desktop is a tie between Plasma, GNOME, and NsCDE. They are all amazing in their own ways and I switch between them all the time.
(Hyprland would be in there if the developer wasn’t a jerk but I’m not willing to use it anymore because he is stupid)
I’m out of the loop what happened
Assuming you mean the hyprland guy, he was just being a transphobic jerk to people in his discord server
Why tho? I mean I love KDE and it’s my daily driver DE but I also like Gnome it’s modern sleek and actually original from other DE which is just Windows Explorer/Mac DE that’s also include KDE
I can be mistaken, but maybe he does not mean the quality and usability of Gnome desktop environment itself. I had to guess if I say he means the way it is organized and the decisions are made, which is totally different from the more free approach of KDE. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but that is what I think, maybe because that is the problems I personally have.
Gnome is amazing, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
You’re probably too dumb to realise this, but people like you put people off of the projects they aggressively simp for.
I can’t use KDE for anything that requires stability and ease of use. It isn’t bad but gnome and KDE slightly different use cases.
