So a few months back I asked about you guys os in c/asklemmy, so this time I wanna ask about your desktops you use on this same account.
(I use kde but plan to move to cinnamon I find kde buggy and gnome tracker3 randomly broke for no reason + themeing so yh idk if these happened to anybody)

    GNOME because it’s the only good option that looks modern and has proper development. Excuses of KDE fanboys that GNOME team makes weird decisions are not accepted.

      I like both for different reasons. I’m hoping Cosmic will be a good blend of features from both, once it’s ready for the general public

      They do make some strange choices. But yeah, I agree. Also, on Gnome, everything else feels a bit rough around the edges.

        Mate, lxqt and even xfce look very old. I know they can’t have fancy effects but I think it’s weird they don’t come with a modern theme. They could make them look at least like Cinnamon. Even Windows 10 didn’t have rounded corners and looked great, with or without blur. Simplicity can look good imo.

        Cinnamon is great but it’s GTK3 and a little bit older in terms of design (though it’s more sane than whatever the new trends are so it’s not bad but just not my thing).

        Budgie isn’t a very big project so idk how consistent it is (it’s something I care about a lot). Though I think I never tried it myself.

        But actually I don’t hate all of that projects. I just like GNOME and it works so so so well for me. My troll behavior towards other DEs is just a joke inspired by “Mii beta” YouTube channel. Btw KDE has performance, even though it’s more than feature-rich. That’s impressive.
