@rl_dane i would say "yet another reason to not daily drive kde"
...but i daily drive arch linux
i cant say shit
It's a great DE for those who want a DE. :)
@rl_dane @gordoooo_z haha, yeahhh
for those who want a de
Really? I've happily used i3 and sway on 12" laptops.
@gordoooo_z @rl_dane hahaha, for me, its almost the inverse
i prefer tiling on laptops and floating on desktops
at least we can agree on i3, i use sway which from the endusers side of things is damn near identical to i3, to me at least
@gordoooo_z @rl_dane yeah, just not for me
its kinda, too much lol
i have no real disdain towards kde, its a purely theatrical thing
hell, im using tokodon rn
and i use krita for graphic design work
@det @rl_dane As much as I dig KDE if I am going to use a DE... I also have to agree on the "too much." If you're the kind of person who's liable to lose 2-3 hours tweaking a config (and I very much am), Plasma is a risky proposition.
Not that I haven't just as easily lost half a workday perfecting my i3 config, but you're just not really going to have that problem in GNOME, for example. Y'know... if you can stomach GNOME, lol
> ...stomach gnome...
I can't*. XD
But re: endless tweaking, it really does quiesce after a while. I haven't tweaked my KDE setup in ages. ;)
* I like some of their ideas, but the CSDs and useless scrollbars can go die in a nuclear lava pit.
@rl_dane @det Yeah, at this point all I do to a fresh KDE install is tweak the panel how I like it, set compose key to LeftAlt, and I'm off to the races. My setup on the living room PC is a different story. Went a little tweak crazy on that when I switched to Plasma 6, and made a custom floating panel I would absolutely hate if I were working at a desk, but it looks slick and really doesn't matter on a box that mainly just plays movies and YouTube.
And GNOME, ugh. We've probably gone over my feelings about GNOME at least once or twice in the past lol, so I'll spare you the diatribe, but needless to say, it's not for me (rip GNOME 2 though. That was my DE of choice when I first got into Linux).
