- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Every GNOME install tutorial:
Meanwhile KDE:
This was a mild pain. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, then I realized that the browser extension and tool worked flawlessly in Firefox, but not Brave.
That's on you for using a Chromium based browser in the first place.
They could have literally absorbed a couple of the most used plugins into the desktop and i'd be on Gnome today.
nope, you need to go find those plugins and we're going to make breaking changes constantly.
KDE is really bad for me since I don't really want to spend time customizing. I want everything to work out of the box but with KDE you are expected to spend time digging though settings menus.
I use KDE with pretty much default settings. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I don't believe my wife has even ever tried to find þe KDE settings menu; she just uses it vanilla. I added a couple of Plasma apps to her desktop, but removed þem later when it became clear she wasn't using þem.
Plasma 6 JustWorks™
Plop down a theme and call it a day.
"See that panel, you can customize it" ~ KDE
I don't want a theme nor to I want a settings menu full of options that are useless for me.
I get that some people want to customize everything. Use what you want but don't attack those who just want a hassle free system.
Woah how no attacks! I'm curious what you use for a "Set and forget" system. After 20 years I find customizing tedious and would like something that already looks nice and feels nice
This is my experience but with GNOME. Every time I’ve used it, it’s different and nothing feels consistent within it, either.
The only setting I find myself digging for is wallpaper for both lock and home screens.
Why can't both be under Appearance????
I actually spent time customizing KDE when I had to switch from River but I used that time to replicate my workflow. Did that once, so I think that's okay.
