KDE feels like Windows to me. GNOME is something entirely different, it's UI is very touch friendly, only downside is it has old code all over the place.

Used both. Dislike both. Now on i3.

Have you ever used either?

To say they're reversed is pushing it as I'm not sure gnome is at the level of the low poly lara yet

I used Gnome for years and can honestly say that if you put a lot of effort into it, mess with configs, and install a few extras, it rises to a new level of kind of shitty but usable.

Fuck, KDE was pretty a decade ago, and Gnome is still just plugging away, being the bare minimum.

i think is reversed... but it's ok

And other memes made by people who have never used KDE.

Gnome and KDE are equally good.

Imo they are both solid technologically, but KDE delivers much more with it's defaults. Obviously you can theme both to hell and back and make them look however you want and get whatever functionality you want, but default KDE is so much more usable than default gnome it's not even a competition.

Or... Gnome works perfectly for people with different workflows and KDE by default is bloated...

Maybe we can agree both are just good?

Is it? Gnome loads in a ton of services and feels pretty bloated to me. I don't notice that it's any lighter than KDE, and it often feels more sluggish.

But, they're both desktops and are loading in a bunch of stuff whether you use it or not, so you're right that they're pretty comparable.

Bro offered a truce, why not take it?

Plasma and GNOME both have legitimate uses, no one is objectively better than the other.

First, I wasn't the person "bro" responded to.

Second, they said Gnome works fine and KDE is bloated by default, implying Gnome isn't bloated. Which it certainly is, which I said.

A person can't just say, "you're ugly as fuck, but let's just agree to disagree" and have it be a truce.

Plasma itself isn't bloated, it is only bloated if you install the entire suite of KDE applications. Installing plasma by itself doesn't require that many dependencies.

GNOME has a similar level of optionals for their desktop environment as well, you're just expected to actually INSTALL them.
