People unironically use KDE?

Huge mistake, but GNOME is just as bad. What do, anon?
>>53737503
not me. ;^)
Lets be friends!
>>53737508
GNOME is even worse family,KDE maybe would be much better if it finally reaches the stable version

ok

I've been using XFCE for a long run of using LXDE. I thought about using KDE again, but for the life of me I can't see why it has to have so many interconnected parts that just bloat the whole thing. It's a fuckin mess! I don't even use QT programs because it pulls in all that shit. There's some rally good programs out there that would be great if they didn't pull in a whole other DE. It's fucked.
It's strange. Whenever I've tried KDE I got the feeling that 'something is wrong'. It was mentally discomforting, I felt somewhat repulsed. I can imagine that when your uncle's hand is slipping into your underwear and starts to fondle your 11 year old penis, pulling the foreskin off, caressing the sensitive tip creating the shock that just leaves you parallelized, so you can't scream, can't call for help and there is only you and your uncle in the room must feel very similar. Gnome3 on the other hand it's so bad.
I use "calm window manager" provided by the nice folks over at OpenBSD. It's the best window manager I've ever used.
i use kde4 on my x60, its snappy as fuck senpai

Seems like no one has the balls to say, that KDE is a good DE, if you take the time to make it yours.
>>53737686
>parallelized
It's the best poweruser DE
you can customize fucking everything
It is patronizing "daww honey, you don't know what mouse acceleration is, here, let me move it out of the way"
>>53737686
The only usable DE on Linux. Everything else is Windows XP tier.
More like kekde , amiright
>>53738036
awww yeah dude
>>53737503
I don't get it.. I love Gnome3 and it runs great! I use it fulltime for work and play and got it all dialed in on Fedora23. I hear people criticize it all the time but I never hear anything beyond ad hominem. Maybe I have the perfect machine? (Thinkpad)
Anyway, if it sucks for other people, why? Educate me!

How is it bad
XFCE is the only option if you use a DE.
>>53738090
I use GNOME too, but I think there's plenty wrong with it.
>>53738134
Gnome doesn't look like that by default. The dock is something the poster installed.
Are you that dense?

I do.

People also use Unity unironically

As a Gnome user that triggered my sexual urges to a extent I now have to install KDE Plasma
>>53741789

Yes.
Unit is a decent desktop environment
>>53738090
Gnome3 is actually pretty great regardless of what people say. The only issue people here have with it is that it holds your hand and it doesn't let you rice the fuck out of it.
You know what they say. Old habits, they die hard.
>>53737712
This is exactly my experience with KDE.
Also contrary to what people say I enjoyed gnome experience especially new gnome 3.20 is amazingly well optimized.
But my favorites remain LXDE and MATE.
>>53737503
People unironically become OP?
>>53742241
Been OP once, the moment I clicked "POST" I literally couldn't stop sucking cocks.
>>53737503
KDE is great, just behind XFCE. It's bogged down by its bloat but it's the prettiest DE.
Plasma 4 was quite nice in its final version after some 10 years of development, but then they discontinued the product in favor of Plasma 5 and it's shit all over again. Plasma 5 has been first released two years ago and they're yet to reach feature parity with Plasma 4, let alone all the bugs, it's horrible. It could be the the best desktop environment out there but it isn't.
>>53737503
KDE is absolutely based
>>53737503
Sure. It's stable if you use openSUSE.
>>53738120
i like it. as a linux babby, what would i need to replicate this?
>>53742323
same thing happened when they went from KDE3 to KDE4
Looks like they get bored when they are about to finish something
>>53742323
Good thing about Plasma is it is getting better at each updates.
5.5 is really as stable as KDE4 ever was. Don't know about 5.6
People break KDE when they rely too much on gtk softwares I guess
>>53738120
>>53738134
What dock and theme?
>>53741789
you always post that ugly shit
i bet thats just your server and you turn xorg on just to take unity screenshots and have a giggle

What dock is that?
>>53737503
I use XFCE. how fucked am.I?
>>53744987
XFCE is good
Abandoned it for KDE about 6 months ago, never looked back.
>>53745036
I'm trying XFCE today for the first time after years of flipping back and forth between openbox and i3.

Cinnamon is the only one worth using. KDE is a very distant second. Nothing else is even on the radar.

Why is the KDE project so based?
Seriously though, KDEgames deserves more credit. I don't know of any other Sudoku program that will warn me if I have to guess, or any other Solitaire program that will let me know if a game is still winnable.
I do and I enjoy it. Which one do you use?

I literally dont understand GNOME hate. it just fucking works. It stays the hell out of your way, has god tier window management, actually makes the super key useful, has a ton of software and extensions, is stable as hell, and can look gorgeous if themed correctly. I have literally no idea why people have problems with it.
Unless you're on a laptop, that is, and need as much power saving as possible. I use MATE on my laptop but simply because I customized it to function like GNOME 3
>>53745397
>just works
Barely.
>stays the hell out of your way
Except that its forced compositing slows everything you run down.
>god tier window management
HAHAHHAHno
>super key useful
It's called being able to customize keyboard shortcuts. KDE Plasma can do it and you can specify any super+key shortcut to do anything. Making the Super key by itself do anything is goddamn stupid because accidentally pressing it and losing focus on what you're doing is poor design.
>ton of software and extensions
The software is horrible. "Here's a generic version of software that does X with no goddamn features, enjoy." At least it has some decent extensions that will give you back desktop features that it should have came with in the first place.
>stable
HAHAHHHAHHHAHA
>gorgeous
I'll give you that it does look sort of nice.
>>53745397
GNOME fights against the user. It wants a single solitary sacred paradigm for the user interface, and will work to prevent you from ever conceiving and implementing your own paradigm (like, say, putting the dock at the bottom). You can mitigate this by installing extensions, but the extensions are unstable and prone to breakage.
If you do not believe wholeheartedly in the developers' One True Vision for how a desktop should work, then you are not welcome in the Land of GNOME.
So, no thanks, I'll stick with KDE which encourages me to break away from the defaults and design my own paradigm which functions exactly how _I_ want it to function, not anybody else.
>>53742211
oh shit, someone who isn't retarded
>>53745470
>forced compositing
>bad
its like you genuinely enjoy shit, just because you have the option to eat it
>HAHAHHAHno
haha yes. it just fucking works dude.
>KDE Plasma can do it and you can specify any super+key shortcut
>super+key
thats the fucking point on GNOME. you just hit super and it does everything: window layout and immediate searching of applications. You can have keyboard shortcuts too for christ's sake. thats not KDE exclusive. jesus.
>>53745494
>design my own paradigm which functions exactly how _I_ want it to function, not anybody else.
so use MATE
>>53745542
MATE is a technological dead-end.
If I wanted to use a GTK DE then I would use Cinnamon.
But since Qt is the superior technology, I'll stick with KDE.
>>53745542
>slowing your computer down and making it buggy as fuck
>not shit
what
>just fucking works
Okay
>you just hit super
Again, this is bad design.
>not kde exclusive
That's the point, it's not a Gnome plus, but Gnome makes it into a minus by having Super by itself do something.
KDE 5 is a complete trainwreck, I have no idea what the developers were thinking. It's extremely slow (with 8gigs of ram, like what the actual fuck) things crash every five minutes...just nope
But KDE 4 is great, I use that every day. Fast, highly customizable, comfy.
I've never used linux, but looking up pictures of Kde Vs Xfce, I think I'd rather use xfce. Xubuntu seems comfy.
>>slowing your computer down
are you using a ten year old integrated GPU? fucking christ. Of course I dont recommend gnome for non-desktop usage
>you just hit super
>this is bad design.
>convenient and fast access to literally anything my computer can do is bad design
I be you think the drop down terminal extension is bad design too
>>53741960
Unity is not written in C++
>>53745586
sounds like the KDE 4/3 comparison all over again
>>53745586
also forgot: the flat design of KDE 5 is vomit inducingly hideous.
>>53745603
You can just switch KDE5 back to the Oxygen theme of KDE4.
Like, seriously? This is what you come here to complain about? For reals?
>>53745603
You can always switch back to the Oxygen theme.
>>53745596
It doesn't matter how good your computer is, compositing is a waste of fucking resources and will make your system drag by comparison.
>drop down terminal extension
Is it accessible by a single key? If so, yes. Anything that a single key can rob you of the focus of what you're using is shit. This is why the keys around the super key do what they do -- they are MODIFIER keys, and so is the super key. It MODIFIES the key (or keys) you press with it to do something else, and can't very easily be done unintentionally.
I can't believe I have to actually explain How To Computer 101 to fucking people these days. For fuck's sake, how far down the stupid hole have you all gone?
>>53745600
Look, I joined the Linux community last september. I tried out various distros and DE's. KDE 4 gave me what I wanted - customization, gorgeous looks. KDE 5 on the other hand gave me tons of crashes and ebola. Literally, there were things that once crashed I was unable to start that feature ever again. I tried KDE 5 a month ago, that bug is still there by the way.
I don't care how "modern" and "'advanced" something is, if it can't fucking work properly it's trash. Also it's a total system hog, despite hardly improving anything from KDE 4.
