Been a gnome guy for the past ~13 years with a bit of unity thrown in back when it was relevant! I’ve tried to love KDE repeatedly over the years but it’s never quite clicked with me - the customisation is great, but using it just feels kinda wrong personally!
Every once in awhile i think „yeah, let‘s move to a tiling wm“….but i find myself going back to gnome shortly after, because i can‘t get really used to it, although i really like the concept of tiling WMs…who knows, maybe today is a good day to try it again :)
Yeah i feel that. It takes a while, once you’re settled in and have done a bit of configuring to make a tiling wm work a specific way then it starts getting harder to go back. I would flip flop between KDE Plasma and either i3 or sway for a long while but eventually my sway config got to a point where I just prefer using it full time as I have to put in more work to make Plasma behave the same way.
That being said i still keep Plasma installed in case i get an itch to just use a DE like that for a bit. Or to check out updates for it.
yeah, i think i just never to got to that point you’re describing (to have such an extended and working config, that the switch back to a DE would be more effort than just keep going).
Hell yea! I’ve used PopOS for a couple years now and it’s pretty fantastic. Being able to enable/disable it on the fly is super great, and you still have all the conveniences of a full DE.
another aspect – DistroTube did a 10 minute video explaining workspaces were the killer feature of tiling window managers rather than the tiling itself …
I keep wanting to try out vanillaOS and everytime I liveboot it, I immediately regret my decision. I cannot stand Gnome.
I love KDE, I love it for how versatile, intuitive and customizable it is.
Bot to mention, I rarely experience any bugs. It just works.
Users will have the option to disable data upload before any data is sent for the first time. Our service will be operated by Fedora on Fedora infrastructure, and will not depend on Google Analytics or any other controversial third-party services. And in contrast to proprietary software operating systems, you can redirect the data collection to your own private metrics server instead of Fedora’s to see precisely what data is being collected from you, because the server components are open source too.
To be fair, if they want to collect telemetry data, this is probably the best way to do it.
