So you're telling me that a random DE with no backing already has fractional scaling, VRR and is going to get HDR working too while GNOME, the LEADING desktop environment with all the Red Hat backing and donations money has NONE of those?

SIR DO NOT REDEEM THE KDE
GNOME SOFTWARE VERY GOOD SIR
I've been using KDE for about 6 months now and I'd like to know when these krashes are supposed to happen?
This is a serious question, what kind of situations are more likely to cause issues in KDE?
The krashes used to be much more frequent up until 2 years ago.
Plasma used to crash on version 5.5 and earlier. Now it's 5.27, it has improved a lot.
I'm using it for eight years and the only crashes i ever got were caused by bbswitch back in the day when this was the way to switch between NVIDIA or iGPU.
I mean DE crashes here, so kwin crashing.
Having a component crash, like akonadi, which is the database handling the Mail and Calendar stuff and turns KMail into an empty UI when its gone - that was common years ago after updates. But i didn't encounter that in the past two years either.
>when these krashes are supposed to happen?
Get a time machine and go back several years
yeah it's a meme
Why would you want to do that?
*WON'T FIX*
>with no backing
>used extensively by Valve
Sure thing.
The only DE that ever crashed on me was GNOME.
Mutter is absolute dogshit.
What's the use case for a desktop environment that doesn't crash?
>a random DE with no backing
Valve literally paid for work on these features because they need it for steam deck, can you stop being a disingenuous fag?
Why did Valve choose KDE instead of Gnome? kde won
because why would they want windows users too get whiplash with mac ui knock off
Most normies are gaming on Windows so for desktop mode it'd be better if they used something which is similar enough.
I haven't used GNOME so I don't know if there are other reasons that make GNOME unsuitable.
Because the process of contributing to KDE is:
>I wrote this patch and it would be useful to have it upstreamed.
>Sure!
Whereas contributing to Gnome is:
>I wrote this patch and it would be useful to have it upstreamed.
>I don't see the use case in this. Do you have any examples where a user may want to press the 'j' key? This is already covered with CTRL+U+006A and gnome-characters.
>This doesn't fit into our plans for gnome-<some application nobody uses because the thing it replaced is still around and trading every feature for a GtkHeaderBar is fucking stupid>.
>Gnome is ran by volunteers and we don't have enough time to maintain this upstream
>This isn't the right place to talk about the gnome foundation spending $467,188.99 on staffing costs or the $74,330.38 on events and conference travel/accommodation. Or the million euros the gnome foundation was granted by the German government. I'm locking this issue so the discussion can cool down.
>This isn't the right place to talk about the gnome foundation spending
don't ask them what they did with more than $150k they raised to fight 'le patent troll while not even having to pay for a lawyer because they got one for free
to avoid dealing with gnome devs
so, transphobia?
>Valve literally paid for work on these features
So you're telling me they didn't go for LEADING DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT? The future of Linux desktop lost to KRASHde?
It's funny that Valve, with a handheld device that has a touchscreen, doesn't go for the GNOME tablet UI.
GNOME really fucked up here.
It seems no one selling Linux hardware does.
System76 has given them the middle finger by making their own DE. Valve uses KDE, so does Tuxedo.
Gnome really doesn't seem very popular among people getting Linux out there and among the ones using it. It really just feels like one huge circlejerk.
Schools that want to show off "something that isn't Windows" sometimes have a few Linux Desktops with a default GNOME.
no backing? QT is a commercial company that sells the use of their libraries to commercial software companies
He's not wrong, it's a literally who DE, if I hadn't heard of it I never would of heard of it
So you are saying that KDE software is so good that they earn money with their toolkit, while no sane person would ever choose gtk?
KDE actually has backing, but obviously way less than Red Hat's pet project GNOME. The difference is that KDE developers are serious and competent people.
