It was a big step, yeah, but it was also something new in open source. There are lots of choices if you want desktops that are plainer than Gnome. There's only one choice if you want something simple and slick and sort of luxurious on your Linux machine. I wouldn't be without it, and having just received my Pinephone I'm happy and looking forward to it being with me wherever I go.

- hkt 6y agoHaven't actually tried plasma, but I hate KDE on the desktop with a passion. Maybe I should give plasma a look though
- dleslie 6y agoFWIW, I have a PinePhone and Plasma is just all-around superior to Phosh; faster, more responsive, and uses less battery. I don't even like KDE, but such as it is, Gnome on mobile is not great. Ten years of pushing touch UI design on us, and it's... Still five to ten years undercooked.

According to /r/unixporn... i3-gaps? :-P (honestly, people in that subreddit seem to manage to make any window manager look totally unexpected visually, e.g. see this[0] for a DWM customization - someone from Suckless must be digging their grave so they can roll in it :-P).
