Daily Reminder

>>59454777
It's the DE I use but why do we need more threads on useless flame wars?

>>59454794
Because these cucks need to be taught a lesson

Too bad that it's ugly. It was almost worth using.

i like unity lulz

KDE is a giant circlejerk. it defies any standard user interface conventions and basically feels like Fisher Price made a gui.

>>59454794
You have to fight.
For your right.
To Deeee Eeeeee!

Its shit compared to gnome or unity

How does it beat Unity?

thumbnails in file picker

>>59457114
Just install a different file manager...

Fuck off, i3 master race.

Are you sure it is not sierra Mr. God?

>>59457236
I3 is a WM

>>59454777
KDE, didn't that shit try to install a MySQL server on my laptop before? Pure garbage by pure garbage developers.

>>59454873
You misspelled gnome shell

>>59454777
GNOME is better.

What Linux distro and DE should I install when I finally get tired of Windows 7?

>>59454777
You forgot the most important point:
>It has proper thumbnails in the file picker.

>>59457816
macos

>>59454777
>- Dolphin best file manager
I'll agree there. But why you need a terminal built into a file explorer, I will never know.

>- Aesthetic as fuck
KDE is not aesthetically anything. It is dull beyond compare.

Ok, it's very configurable, but you will break it before too long
It is too heavy on processing - even more than unity
Widgets are plainly crap

>>59457816
Find out for yourself. Go to Distrowatch.com. Find something you like. If its a popular distro, there will be some nerd on youtube who will give yu a quick demonstration. If you're still curious, download an iso file off the website and run it on a virtual machine.

>caring about DE's this much

I like plasma, it just werks and looks decent enough for me. I'm not a gigantic faggot so I don't need to rice weeb shit into my DE, but if I was, I could. And I rarely use more than 2GB/8GB of RAM on GNU/Linux so I don't care if it's 100MB heavier on RAM than another DE.

>>59454777
>- Dolphin best file manager

not knowing about pcmanfm

Dolphin is junk.

>>59454777
I actually dig KDE.

I can't wait for it to support Wayland tho.

Aqua is the best, you're just too poor to afford the hardware to run it.

KDE on opensuse is the only implementation of it that ever felt smooth so to speak. Every time I tried it on other distros it just feels buggy and shit

>>59454777

Can't argue with those trips.

>>59459379
looks like windows/10

>>59454777
The best DE is the one the user prefers and is comfortable with.

Why would you start a flame war over a DE, nobody forces you to use anything you don't want to on Linux, use whatever you like to while Winshit and macOperatingShit force you to use only their shitty desktop and you dont really have a choice there.

>>59454777
Trips confirm KDE a best.

>>59460413
>looks like windows/10
Looks similar, yes, and there are Windows 10 themes too.

>>59459083
kaOS already wayland and plasma5

>>59460413
it is but kde plasma5 was already released way back before windows preview 10 got released.
to my perspective it's windows 10 who copied kde

>>59454777
anyone tried to remove pulseaudio sucessfully KDE? I actually got KDE to work without pulse but for some reason a gnome update pulled in pulse package and I'm having dual audio - the audio feedback when dec/increasing volume sounds comes from 2 different volume control

>>59462837
Check your distros wiki. If it doesn't have a section for pulseaudio and alsa separately then consider switching to a distro that has one.
If you insist on using your current one then you must learn how to make your package manager show you reverse dependencies that should tell who is responsible for it. But just a tip
>gnome update
Almost all things to do with gnome hard depend on pulse, get rid of that shit.

>>59454777
Did somebody say aesthetic

>>59459390
pls redpill me:
how did you do that "only icons" style on the taskbar? i've been searching for the solution for years.

>>59463968
Icon-only task manager widget. What the hell, mate?

>>59463968
end my life

>>59459590
It's not ugly.

>>59454777
Is it worth the compile time on an i7 though?

>>59463968
>for years
Literally only the first 20 or so search results on google for the words "icons", " only", "taskbar", and " kde". Wtf.

bloated shit

>>59457078
better launcher
better window manager
better applications

Anything else feels like hobby tier.

>I'll agree there. But why you need a terminal built into a file explorer, I will never know.
I have a hard time imagining when you wouldn't want a terminal in the file manager.
What would a situation be where you want to get to files, and not interact with them?
I suppose that you could make right click menus, but it is an uphill battle, where simply using a terminal is just easier.
