Except KDE is buggy as hell. Random crashes especially with Plasma, lock screen glitches, multi-monitor issues, inconsistent settings location (some in .kde, some in .config, some in .local, etc, depending on what you're using). Which is shame because I love Konsole, Kate, and so on. Global shortcut settings, and the ability to basically remap any application shortcut to a different combination is pretty powerful. I love KDE.
But...
While I understand that time is money and donations are appreciated and that developers need to eat, but lately it seems like any request for addressing any type of issue is met with "Maybe you should make a donation." lately in the KDE community. Lack of transparency on where those donations go is also an issue. It feels KDE lacks a good set of community managers.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoCan't concur on the bugginess. It's definitely more rough and janky than Gnome though, but Gnome does get more dev time investment and is far more simplistic and less feature rich, so it would make sense it's much easier to maintain in a polished shape. Also depends on the distro you're rocking. KDE behaves differently on each distro depending how well the distro maintainers integrated KDE. Kubuntu, KDE Neon and Opensuse Tumbleweed should be pretty good options.
- honest_paper 4y agocannot blame KDE has more bugs than GNOME when GNOME has no feature left at all to break.
