From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nobara 39 Officially Released (nobaraproject.org)

Aside from being based on Fedora 39 now, KDE is now the official desktop environment replacing GNOME. The reasons why are in the article.

The GNOME version of Nobara still exists, but it's going to be the vanilla version shipped without any extensions (probably because many of them broke after moving to Fedora 39)

I don't like KDE and if Gnome is not going to be the main DE anymore I might just move to another distro. NBD.

What are your main dislikes of kde?

[–] jcrabapple@infosec.pub 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I've always experienced weird annoying bugs, and I much prefer the UX and minimalism of gnome. It's better for productivity. I don't just use my desktop for gaming.

This is my complaint as well. KDE certainly has advantages and neat design ideas, but I always come across some major bugs that make my device unusable.

Definitely not saying GNOME doesn’t have bugs as well though.

Everything has bugs of course but I personally don't notice as many in Gnome and I just like the overall UX and workflow better.

Well, Nobara is a gaming-oriented distribution and as the changelog outlines, does Plasma currently offer technological benefits. As is the case with everything, this isn't set in stone and might change at some point but right now the main target audience for paid development work for Gnome are corporate users where for Plasma it's being Desktop Mode for Steam Deck.
