I don’t understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I’m satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That’s because the DE get’s the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.
Those two things alone are so important to me, and such an improvement over Windows, that I’ve just never gotten around to trying other DE seriously.
It is because it only “gets out of your way” if you like its choices. If you have different preferences, the strong opinions very much get in your way.
There is a reason GNOME extensions are so popular. And those extensions break all the time.
KDE is good but please, for the love of god KDE devs, you need to realize that some people…a lot of people actually…use more than one monitor.
Whenever I use Plasma I feel like I spend more time getting my windows arranged correctly across both my monitors with different workspaces. if each monitor had it’s own set of virtual desktops then it would be the perfect DE.
One thing I found, coming from multi-monitor macOS to Kubuntu, was having to adjust to both desktops sliding left/right at the same time. I still don’t really like how it effectively shuts off applications that aren’t on the active desktop, and kinda puts a barrier between work spaces.
With a Mac, I have a regular desktop on one screen, with full screen applications on the other, which I can swipe between as much as I like. I miss not being able to do that in Linux.
What does is say about me if my DE is not even covered? Did I win?
Gnome, because I don’t care. 😄
Love the kinesis! I used it for while before finding a split, curved keyboard with integrated trackball!
Integrated trackball? Name please!
Thanks!
I see MX518 with dents. I upvote.
