POLL

POLL - KDE or GNOME
I'm curious as to which of these 2 Desktop Environments is most popular.
I know that there are other DEs, but right now, I made the poll between these 2.

So, which DE do you prefer?

openSUSE's (tumbleweed) KDE-defaults are mostly what I want. I think I changed only the mouse cursor to a broad yellow colored arrow. I rarely play with the other possibilities but I am glad to know I could change most things if I wanted to.

I will literally use Windows10 before I will use Gnome again.

Yet another pointless poll. Isn't there enough data out there on the net ... ?

Just when ppl were getting used to the suck that is Gnome, they changed it up.

I'm giving Gnome another try right now on Fedora, but I think I still prefer KDE. I'm debating whether to switch.

No preference; I enjoy using them both. The GNOME hatred seems silly to me.

For a DE, XFCE, but normally I use a WM, Fluxbox out of preference.

I'm just curious and also I am a KDE user. I'm more into the Win 95 style, with the start taskbar thing at the bottom, a blue colored caption bar on windows.

Why don't you want to use GNOME?

Everything about it's design is the opposite of how I want to work. I want windows to open the EXACT same spot every time, on the same workspace. But Gnome has dynamic workspaces, doesn't remember locations of applications. I don't like docks instead of toolbars, I think they're ugly. I hated Metro interface when it was a Windows thing, I still hate it now that it's a Gnome thing. I don't like the useless "shared toolbar" feature, I don't want every windows maximized and I want them to have a toolbar if there's things that are useful to use via the toolbar!! Basically, everything about Gnome is what I consider to be a hindrance to my getting work done, which that's what the pc is for, to get work done.

Of the 2 I picked Gnome. KDE is just to many options and I get distracted by it instead of what I'm supposed to be working on. That being said I run XFCE most of the time because it runs well on both my newer and older hardware. Doesn't really require much.

I cannot understand why, in this time of larger and larger monitors, GNOME thinks every window should be maximized.

dugan · 08-03-2021, 08:01 PM

GNOME works a lot better in a VM...

Not sure what you mean about what GNOME thinks (??). I don't have a large monitor, but the only window I open maximized is the web browser, same in GNOME as I do with any DE or WM.
