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.

The YouTuber really grew up. KDE is for Kids. GNOME is for Grownups. Once you realise GNOME is the only professional DE out there, you stop looking back, you stop hopping around like a frog.
To the idiots claiming GNOME breaks or extensions break, I have a few extensions that do not break GNOME, and those extensions are always up to date.
Colorblind Filters, Color Picker, Dash to Panel, GTK Title Bar, Lock Keys, Resource Monitor, Tactile, True Color Window Invert
I will add that KDE is one of the worst DEs as far as performance goes, only second to the likes of Deepin. I have used GNOME, KDE, LXQt, XFCE, LXDE, TDE and few others. GNOME is only second best to LXQt and XFCE, while looking great and not needing to turn off animations or compositor.
Edit: these downvotes tell me Lemmy is simply filled with irrational counter culture normies who live in the delusion that they are the rationalists.
I think its really about wanting to just get things done instead of fixing/encountering bugs like sleep/back screen. KDE should review their priorities. But I guess its coming, you cant add new features at infinitum.
GNOME is bringing a new paradigm of multitasking with the fusion of tiling and stacking windows like a mosaic. That is better than almost anything KDE has made in years. The only notable thing I like from KDE is KDE Connect.
