Why based KDE is so consistent with its UI?
Give me one more DE that is more consistent and customizable.
>>53796473
I can't op.
Your right, I guess. KDE is best.
i find gnome to be cleaner and simpler. with a good theme and icons you're set
>>53796680
DELETE THIS!!!!
>>53796473
Too large.
How do you pronounce KDE?
Kate?
Kay-Dee?
Kay-Dee-EE?
Kuh-Dee?
>>53796871
Kay-Dee-EE
Or just say plasma
>>53796826
Why does it matter? KDEs features are worth it
Arch has a kde minimal package as well
>>53796771
Eh, GNOME is shit. Devs won't listen to feedbacks
Has KDE become any less buggy and laggy since I last used it in October?
>>53797324
kubuntu did at least, much fewer crashes and memory leaks
>>53797324
KDE is getting better at each updates.
It is quite surprising though. Kubuntu was glitchy as hell. I installed KDE on Arch but it performs faster and more stable Kubuntu in every single way.
I think the issue rises when you depend too much on gtk applications
Furthermore KDE is adopting wayland really soon (ootb wayland support). It is under active development.
>>53796473
Hover your mouse over Activities inside Dolphin's right click menu and see what happens
kde is best de
even CERN uses kde
>>53797459
>Activities
Where do you see it in the screencap?
>>53797459
not him but i did it and it gives you the option to link the file or folder to a chosen activity. is there something i should look for?
>>53796473
It's consistent, for sure. Consistently bad.
>>53797324
I'm using the 16.04 plasma 5.5 beta on my laptop and it's acceptable. However right now i'm using plasma 5.6 on arch on my desktop computer and it feels much more polished. Waiting the neon packages for 16.04.
>>53797720
why you say that?
>>53797720
For you
>>53797776
what's neon packages?
>>53796473
i like the full screen launcher
>>53797866
The KDE developers will provide repositories with updated versions of plasma for the LTS versions of ubuntu.

We have a set of servers running redhat at school. KDE on those things is confusing as shit

>>53798032
>running a DE on a server
Are you fucking retarded?
>>53798046
It's not only Plasma
>>53798032
this. KDE isnt just bloated as far as memory usage, its UI is also bloated af
>>53798005
yes
I use Unity. As of 16.04 amazon is disabled by default.
>>53798031
you seem to be installing more things and even then is not that much.
>>53798069
depends on the program and depends on what you consider bloat.
>>53797691
>>53797719
Shiiet, sorry, I mean Actions I remember it crashes Dolphin
>>53798227
It's working fine here, if i do it on a folder it says "open terminal here" and "start a presentation" with gwenview.
>>53798279
I tried Arch and Kubuntu, on both distros it crashes a lot, what distro you run?
KDE is ridiculously fucking ugly and it makes me cringe how people seriously think that shit looks good. "Community design", what a joke.
>>53798311
don't autists like you love ricing anyway
>>53796473
>>53796680
Yeah I like gnome's interface (and apps) more. They feel more "polished" compared to KDE's apps. Most GTK2 and GTK3 programs also look very consistent with each other compared to QT programs in plasma to me.
Numix theme +numix circle icons is the easy formula to beautify any GTK based desktop environment.
>>53797284
One of the things that frustrates me about Gnome though is that they have an autistic vendetta against thumbnails in the file picker.
>>53797396
Gnome needs a cute mascot too.
>>53798311
They need to make a kickstarter to hire a professional graphics or Ui desinger like Gnome 3.
>>53798289
>I tried Arch and Kubuntu, on both distros it crashes a lot, what distro you run?
How long was that ago? it has got better, plasma 5.4 was still bad and until 5.5 was acceptable, 5.6 is fine in general except for some visual quirks. I'm using arch.
>>53798311
It's fine if you don't like but consider that it's pretty customizable and you can change a lot how it looks and works. Your screenshot is a bit dated btw.

sorry, i don't understand you very well. is that a question?
>>53798381
>thumbnails in the file picker
That's not gnome, that's GTK.
>>53798543
GNOME depends entirely on gtk. gtk is also becoming more GNOME oriented afaik
>>53798507
Nope, I was using those two when Dolphin crashes on Activities or Actions.
>>53798543
that's a bullshit excuse they used to use, it's the same devs, on the other hand Qt's file picker actually doesn't have thumbnails but KDE does because it overrides it
>>53798381
There's thumbnails in your file chooser RIGHT NOW. What you're missing is usually called an icon view.
>>53798598
oh ok
It may have consistent UI, but memory usage is also consistently shitty.
>>53796473
I just started using KDE and love it.
>>53798605
>file picker
is this even a legitimate term?
why the fuck cant you just have whatever program invoke a file manager of your choice?
Cinnamon or KDE for my desktop?
Laptop?
>>53798745
maybe if you live in Somalia and are still using < 8GB of ram it would matter.
>>53798757
KDE on desktop
Cinnamon on laptop
Good choices anon
>>53798381
>>53796680
literally my only problem with gnome is the title bars, tell me how to fix them, and I'm in love.
>Plasma 5.5
>Glitches, lags and crashes

>Improved performance, smoother scrolling, not a single crash yet. Had a lag once though, way better overall
KDE just keeps improving.
Waiting for full KDE/Wayland experience.
I know this will trigger /g/ but GNOME has become irrelevant with the release of Cinnamon.
>>53798844
Is this how /b/ posters' memefolder look like?
>>53798630
youre completely incorrect.
he does NOT have thumbnails, Im assuming youre calling the image-preview a thumbnail, which is completely wrong.
icon view and thumbnail view are 2 distinct views; "thumbnail view" shows larger higher resolution icons than "icon view".
Even "list view" can have thumbnails
>>53798767
by that logic you must drive around a 6,000 lbs truck with a V8 cuz "not wanting to drive around a bloated truck = cant afford gas" and literally "theres no possible reason to want a nimble vehicle"
its also obvious you have a tiny penis
>>53798862
you've seen nothing, that's just the 4chan folder, not even the /b/ folder.
>>53798864
>Even "list view" can have thumbnails
Yes, thanks for saying the same thing I did. GtkFileChooser presents you with a list view complete with (small) thumbnails. The actual issue is that there is no icon view like there is in nautilus, which is what people who select images want.
I've just ignored everything else you said because it doesn't make sense to me.
>>53798069

HAHAHA. Not even OpenSuse considers KDE to be in good shape.
>We've seen this trend mirrored even within openSUSE. Even as KDE with the default option in our installer, over recent years we've transitioned from a strong 'majority KDE' distribution to one where KDE is now used by less than 50% of our userbase.

>>53799173
It doesn't say anywhere that people are using GNOME.
In fact I believe there are more people in /g/ that prefer Cinnamon to GNOME
>>53799215

>>53799247

>>53799247
What's your point? KDE supports tilling window management
KDE's got everything except for glibc, gnu coreutils, gcc
Otherwise I'd call it KDE/Linux :^)
>>53799215
More distributions use GNOME, the enterprise distributions use GNOME, GNOME has more paid developers, GNOME is at the forefront of Wayland protocol development.
It's laughable that you think what /g/ uses could be representative or matters at all.
>>53796771
>turboautism engaged
>>53797324
Isn't opensuse stable?
>>53798844
FORA DILMA!
>>53798429
That video actually shows some cool stuff. Going to have to consider KDE in the future now.
>>53799360
Enterprise distros use GNOME but I think the choice of DE in an actual enterprise environment is arbitrary.
Most of the things are probably done within the CLI
Although I really appreciate GNOME for wayland development. KDE is also going to adopt wayland soon. KDE people also have their contributions, not as much as GNOME though
>>53799360
>It's laughable that you think what /g/ uses could be representative or matters at all.
well you're on /g/ so...
As a bit of a hijack, is that bug with thunar crashing randomly when copying files ever gonna be fixed? I'm seriously thinking about switching to some other file manager, would do dolphin since it looks good but jesus christ the amount of libs that need to be downloaded.

Dolphin knocks out PCManFM any day regarding anything

You have to use a thumbnailer for this

yea heres my stupid question; can I run a stacking WM (say OpenBox) on one monitor and a tiling WM (say i3) on a second?
>>53797891
This,
I love the full screen launcher in kde, definitely one of it's sticking points for me
>>53799740

That's a very useful "feature"
>>53800058
Literally the only relevant distro to ship KDE as a first-class citizen and traditionally it's home to many KDE developers too.
>>53798862
But Cinnamon is based on GNOME idiot
It's a shame KDE is stuck with breeze. Every other theme or color scheme looks messy and inconsistent.
>>53800135
That's why GNOME is not relevant anymore, idiot.
Cinnamon is everything GNOME 3 should've been.

lxde sucks because its default configuration is shit and its much harder to change/theme than any other DE ive ever tried

KDE is not lighter than XFCE. In fact, KDE is probably heavier than literally every other DE
>>53801530
It's good and easily customizable. I love it. I'm giving plasma 5.6 a chance, tho... I might even like it if I find a way to make this application menu bearable
