I don't get what people have against GNOME. Nearly all of the functionality issues can be solved by extensions and, yes, it is a bit buggy, but it's no more buggy than any other DE. Can someone explain to me what all the fuss is about?

GNOME: Is It Really That Bad?
Angel Gomez
Alexander Clark
okay nevermind it just fucking crashed wtf
Evan Morales
its too laggy
go back to whatever shithole you came from

Also what good is something if you have to add extensions for it to be good?
GNOME was designed by "designers" who think all GUIs should be just a few big buttons so "minorities" can use computers.

Stop trying to make linux look like Windows/Mac.
Alexander Young
I like gnome just decided to try out kde though so i could get a good file picker in fire fox, it's disgusting in my opinion
Nolan Bell
Gnome it's fokkin written in Javascript.
Nuff said.
Christian Taylor
kde unlike gnome is infinitely customizable.
you can even make it look exactly like gnome
Brody Fisher
My God FOSS is a disaster when it comes to UI. Both Gnome and KDE have been around of over 15 years and they’re still beta-quality by proprietary standards. What the fuck.
Lincoln Evans
javascript, laggy as FUCK for no reason (actually there is one: javascript) (((((extensions)))))) and ((((((gtk))))))
Jace Butler
Most of KDE is written in JavaScript.
Ayden Anderson
No, but most gnome users probably aren't lowlifes wasting time on ricing.
If people wanna rant,they should rant about it being the default de for the main distros out there
Brandon Lee
Why it doesn't glitch like Gnome then?
Xavier Ross
no, it's a great meme. People don't want you to use it so you get the buggy kde or xfce experience until you give up linux. Plus has wayland, and supported forever. Enjoy watching all other DE projects die.
Andrew Stewart
GDE isn't dead.
I'm currently porting simple WM from C++ to FreePascal...
Josiah Robinson
Xfce or GTFO.
William Bailey
LXQT, because GTK (ver > 2.0) belongs to trash.

Good riddance. DEs are useless bloat.
Bentley Carter
I use it on my main machine.
It's laggy af.
Xavier Ortiz
Better threading model
Jonathan Roberts
Thoughts on budgie? A few minor bugs here and there but it just werks
Brandon Howard
Kde
Benjamin Nguyen
what decorations are you using for thin titlebars?
Blake Murphy
>kde
>buggy
I don't get this meme, I've been using KDE for a year on Fedora and it's stable as fuck
maybe your distro just has a shitty outdated version of KDE? Ubuntu's KDE is notoriously bad
Owen Peterson
No quarter tiling and non removable menu bar. Extensions are even buggier than the real thing, and it's hard to verify their trustworthiness.
KDE, XFCE, and LXQT have none of these problems and use less RAM.
Aiden Lopez
true. i wish mate hadn't made the switch. now all the classic gtk2 themes are broken as fuck
Gavin Gutierrez
come back to me after you've actually tried modifying the stock kde settings / layouts
James Thomas
KDE is dog shit. It suffers from numerous graphical issues. Especially on multi monitor systems.
Jace Myers
i once had these white pixel-y blotches all over the ui after changing some settings, all that i needed to do to fix it was log out then in again. keep in mind that this only happened once and was trivially easy to fix.
the kind of stupid you get with gnome is the kind that cant be fixed
Isaac Turner
but you can disable application menus
