I try to use KDE every year or so, and I've been doing this since KDE 1.0. It consistently keeps not delivering the experience I want. They have an uncanny ability to keep inserting "jank" everywhere, making the whole experience feel almost good but not quite.
But I'll keep trying it. Perhaps they'll get there before I die of old age.
- shmerl 3y agoNot sure what you mean by jank, but nothing else even comes close in my experience. Gnome feels clunky in comparison with stuff like missing server side decorations and lack of adaptive sync on top of that.
- darthrupert 3y agoI don't doubt that people like KDE, I just cannot figure out why. Something to do with usage patterns, perhaps. I never liked the Windows 95+ style UIs, perhaps that's it. Also KDE seems to be always be riddled by display bugs that I get to experience. I use Gnome when the desktop is irrelevant, like for instance my gaming box. Sway for when I want to optimize developer experience.
- shmerl 3y agoFor gaming adaptive sync is important in my case, so Gnome is really a no go since it takes them forever to implement it.
