I like KDE cause it has a cute dragon. GNOME is a stinky foot.

    Is that really a thing? I don't usually get into discussions about DEs that often, and pretty much never irl. So I haven't seen any general vibe at all.

    Like, my impression of kde vs gnome is that they're both very geared towards a more general user that's going to be doing basic things, but with the ability to go more advanced as needed. I kinda assumed they were both going to draw people that are "basic" like the images in the meme for gnome, with cinnamon users also being in that range, where something like xfce would be for folks that want a bit more modularity and "hackiness".

    I'm not being a smartass, I just don't really know if there's more to the meme than just a bit of fun or not.

    The philosophies of the two DEs are diametrically opposed. For example KDE will let you customize everything, they'd even let you customize their mothers of they could, while GNOME won't let you customize anything, at least not without extensions that break every time GNOME updates.

    KDE devs are also a lot less opinionated than GNOME devs. If they could, GNOME devs would question the use case of your clothes, conclude they're useless and then strip you naked. KDE devs will be fine with whatever you're wearing.

    Now as you may have gathered I definitely prefer one over the other, but I do recognize some people may like GNOME for its simplicity, looks, flow and I even heard some like the lack of customization because it prevents them from getting distracted with tinkering. All in all use case depends on what you want to do with it, tho hopefully Cosmic DE beats the shit outta GNOME devs those damn pricks.

    Something about making their own version of every app and than naming it k-something makes me think it's a cult.

    Oh, I wouldn't get on my high horse about that, Gnome apps used to be G- or Gnome-something for a long, long time.

    Now they're just some stock generic name that assumes "why would anyone ever use any other program for music except Music, or videos except Videos?". Pretty much like Apple.

    Why not both? Seriously, why shouldn’t I install both DEs so I can figure out what I like best or suit my mood?

    Can’t we actually have it all in this scenario?

    I used to be a GNOME fanboy, but then GNOME 3 came and I can't stand it. Now I'm a KDE fanboy

    Eh, my main reason for going KDE is every time I try Gnome, it feels like "what do I do now" and "where is the program I opened"

    I know that would get better with time spent using it, but then again, KDE feels like I can make it do what I want a lot easier

    And none of the other DEs look as nice and polished, which, I know, that's not the important part ... But dammit, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time staring at it, I'd like it to look good to me at least

    I've run MATE for nearly a decade and am now running XFCE, preparing to jump into a window manager as soon as I get a machine for my exclusive use.

    What does that make me?
