I'm a little over a year in running full-time linux on my desktop.
No deal breakers in KDE. In fact it's only gotten better, and it does some things built-in that gnome doesn't, like per-monitor wallpaper slideshows.
My favourite part is that you don't have to install poorly maintained extensions and extension managers just to change things to your liking.
this has to be a joke, i just tinkered with it for a couple weeks to check in and most of the extensions i tried either just broke things or didn't work at all.
WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL US YOUR SPECIFIC ISSUE WITH KDE? JUST REPEATING THE WORD "JANKY" OVER AND OVER IS NOT DESCRIPTIVE. TELL US WHAT'S WRONG.
fam it's a shitpost not a bug report or support request. calm down. it's just generally janky, random shit breaks without any apparent rhyme or reason to it and there's no apparent way to fix it aside from breaking everything else i use by switching to wayland.
Overrated, I get
But janky? While it isn't my DE most of the time, I've never had any issues.
What kind of jank is going on that I'm missing, so I don't use it where said jank would shank my flank.
It's been a long time since I last tried KDE but I never had luck with it. As much of a pain as it is to get working the way I wanted with extensions, once I got the setup I want GNOME is a thing of true performance and efficiency beauty.
I use plasma because it themes gtk better than a gtk de themes qt, on debian stable because I want a stable system. few weeks ago gtk theming broke. now all my gtk apps are stuck in blinding light mode
really? everything always acts weird and breaks on me, every time I've used it for 10+ years. it's gorgeous but unusable in my book, and has been for a long time. it's disappointing really, checking to see if KDE doesn't suck yet and then sticking with it for a month plus because i really want it to work has practically become a form of self-harm for me. i always ditch it because the jank is un-ignorable no matter how hard i try.
I've been using Kde for about 3 years now and to be fair, do have some issues from time to time.
Most annoying has to be that when I try to launch discord for example, I type "discor" and press enter immediately. But it hasn't really registered the "r" yet so it launches discover instead. But I just learned to wait a bit after typing.
Kde also had some crashes, although very rarely. So nothing I really care about.
ITT fanboys pretend they've never seen a hiccup out of the buggiest Linux DE in existence.
You're posting a thread where you complain about a desktop environment that's obviously doing pretty well for itself without being specific about what the problem is, so yeah, people are going to contradict you with their real experiences.
people are literally saying shit like "fight me" and screaming demands for specifics like my stupid meme about being generally disappointed with a desktop environment is a support ticket or something
You act like a literal child
ok boomer
What bugs you encounter is going to vary based on what you want to do, exact version, etc.
That KDE is as popular as it is, already means that despite your experience, it can be and is used daily by tons of people. To the point that your stance of "it's unusable" can't possibly be all there is to it.
You walked in holding your personal experience above everyone else's, as if god just handed you another five commandments.
And you expected people to worship your "obviously correct" anecdotal view?
