gnome is not very like a mac tbh, they both have a dock but other than that the ux and flow is kinf of different
can argue with the others tho, i love getting pegged by my autist gf while drinking my tripplemacci soiccino
gnome with dash to panel and desktop icons is pretty close to windows too
both those addons are also just installable packages in the debian repos so you can just sudo apt install them
maybe, i guess i haven't used kde enough to really be able to compare
gnome works well enough for me, and there's no telemetry to worry about like in kde
Use KDE/Wayland for a modern system that works as you would expect it to (just be aware of some intended restrictions due to the nature of Wayland, but programs are coming around for this to not be a problem)
i've used Gnome for half a year or so and honestly it was a bad experience, they have an opinionated idea of how you use your desktop and i didn't like it at all, many settings you would expect to be there seem to be missing (for the sake of 'simplifying' the experience) or getting scraped or are not working, i'm sure Gnome was great back in the day but it's pretty bad now
>many settings you would expect to be there seem to be missing
As a gnome user I agree with this statement. Yes there are extensions, but frankly some of those extensions should just be part of the DE. The alphabetical order of your apps for example. (alphabetical app grid) The ability to disable the screen saver & auto suspend (Caffine)
I've been using gnome 4 on debian 12, with an extension called V-shell that I used to bring back some of the things I liked about gnome 3 like vertical workspaces. It's pretty nice, no complaints so far.
i just used gnome cuz that's the popular and default, and i threw in those arc menus/panels extension. i only have 1 tasbar and it's on the bottom, like windows.
i don't think kde is necessary if you're "used to windows" like some people say.
Can someone explain Wayland vs Xorg to me and which is better? I chose Gnome because I was told Wayland is better than Xorg from a security and privacy perspective and KDE with Wayland doesn't work on my laptop. Did I do the wrong thing?
Whatever you want you turbohomosexual, only homosexuals ask other people to take decisions for them, also shove a fat fuck whatever object up YOUR ANUUUUSSS NIGGEEEEERRRRRRRR I HATE YOUUU
KDE if you're used to Windows.
GNOME if you're used to Mac, drinking frappuccinnos and getting railed in the ass.

Even with a dozen extensions, gnome still has the worst file manager of all DEs

what opt-out telemetry is in kde?
there's no opt out, as far as i know
i just don't like the possibility and i'd prefer to not have that on my machine at all
What if I'm used to Windows AND getting railed in the ass?
Whats the use case for a DE?
how many pictures of men do you have saved in your immediate access folder?
whats wrong with having pictures of men saved, are you a homophobe or what?
yes i am, what's wrong with that
Try them each out for yourself with a Live USB and go with whichever feels more comfortable.
KDE if you like crashes and ugly outdated looking UIs. Gnome otherwise.
Gnome if you want a slow bloated machine. KDE otherwise
KDE for desktops and Gnome for laptops
Neither. Try Cinnamon, XFCE, or LXDE.
All gtk garbage so they are still Gnome's bitch.
GTK is fully GNOMEd now. Use LXQt.
GTK, GTK, and dead
KDE if you're used to Windows. GNOME if you're used to MacOS.
Xfce if you're not a retard.
KDE is far superior to Gnome. They used Valve's money to improve their DE where as Gnome used Redhat's money to hire a shaman and more black people.
KDE if you're white. Look up GNOME's homepage
Both garbage!
Use them both for a week each and make the decision yourself.
Xfce is also nice.
Use KDE/Wayland for a modern system that works as you would expect it to (just be aware of some intended restrictions due to the nature of Wayland, but programs are coming around for this to not be a problem)

i just use what ever is default on mint and i will always use that.
Very simple

KDE >Xfce > Gnome
cinnamon
OP here
Going with KDE
cinnamon if youre used to windows
gnome if youre used to mac/have a touchscreen laptop
xfce if youre not retarded
kde if you are retarded
easy as:
You want features -> KDE
You don't want features -> Gnome
i just used gnome cuz that's the popular and default, and i threw in those arc menus/panels extension. i only have 1 tasbar and it's on the bottom, like windows.
i don't think kde is necessary if you're "used to windows" like some people say.
KDE
The real question is XFCE vs KDE
Gnome isn't an option, stupid fucking OP.
Between these two, KDE. Otherwise Cinnamon is the best.

Xorg is better.
You can use what you want. If you like use it and be happy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments
KDE if you like ricing
Xfce if you have an older system
Gnome if you like it's workflow.
hyprland if you code all day on a lappy
the real question is gnome vs xfce
the real question is kde vs awesomewm
Try both, maybe you're a latent homo who would like gnome
>DE
bloat
the real question is i3 vs dwm
>DE
bloat, use Hyprland
>picrel

just read the whole thing and that vaxerski guy seems based
need more of those types in open source tech, and less obnoxious troons
>nazi
I'm thinking based.
Not even a nazi, just taking the piss

Kde janky shit. Needs to tinker to look good
Gnome looks excellent out of the box
You should use Windows instead of asking stupid questions here
