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?

    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.

    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

    I'd argue there are two ideologies.

    Gnome focuses on design and user interaction, then features.

    Plasma focuses on configuration and modularity, then design.

    It does seem like they are starting to converge though. With gnome focusing on more features, and Plasma focusing more on design and consistency.

    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)

    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 way more put together than Plasma 6 at this point in time. Its rock solid reliable.

    I keep gnome as my stable laptop setup, and Plasma as my tinkering with games setup. This outlines both of their strengths individually.
