KDE still seems pretty bloated
- skyyler 2y agoOne person's "bloat" is another person's "batteries included".
- gymbeaux 2y agoKDE Wallet though?
- tremon 2y agoWhat about it?
- woolion 2y agoFunny, I used to think it was bloat but then I got to use it to store passwords for remote servers accessed with ssh, and now it's a nice 'batteries included' for me, as GP mentioned. It has become so because it is nicely and seamlessly integrated.
- const_cast 2y agoGnome has the same thing, and it's equally as annoying. Also you can just disable it if you really don't want it.
- queenkjuul 2y agoCinnamon includes all the batteries I've ever needed without feeling bloated

- jlpom 2y agoI rather think the right word is clunky: one of the dev is attached to Server-Side Decoration/against CSD for some reason (none of his arguments make sense), so every stock app are difficult to read and taking unneeded screen space. It's just bad UX.
- foresto 2y agoAre you suggesting that avoiding client-side window decorations in favor of the traditional server-side approach is bad UX?
- jlpom 2y ago*It causes bad UX.
- queenkjuul 2y agoI think clunky and bloated both describe KDE actually
- refulgentis 2y agoThey're not arguing with you, they're yes-anding you. Read as "ah a one word opinionated description...let's steelman that. here's my one-word opinionated term: clunky. Here's what smells make me get that vibe. What smells contribute to the bloat one? :)" Doubling down on short judge-y stacatto contributes to an aggressive "I don't need to tell you" vibe that would be sassy and fun, maybe, if in person. In writing online comments, it just means we need to get a 3rd comment from you before we get to anything I'm interested in (I don't particularly care what your one word description is, I don't know you)

- sheepdestroyer 2y agoAre you being purposefully controversial (to not say trollish)? To the exact contrary to what you assert, one of the prominent argument against Gnome that I've been seing times and times again in DE debates, is the "dogmatic" opposition to SSD from the Gnome project.
- Der_Einzige 2y agoxfce remains the best GUI for Linux (outside of the tiling WMs which are far superior). No I will never change my mind.
- wkat4242 2y agoIt's not bloated, it just has lots of options. If you like someone else to decide everything for you: buy a Mac or use gnome. But KDE is not for you then. Don't try to make it into something it was never meant to be.
- queenkjuul 2y agoI use Cinnamon. Less bloat, more coherent, still plenty of options
- wkat4242 2y agoYeah cinnamon is basically a remake of Gnome 2, from before the devs went batshit crazy and went more opinionated than Apple. It's not bad but I really prefer KDE, also because I think Qt is a much better desktop framework than GTK is. But what things in KDE do you consider 'bloat'?
- bmicraft 2y agoIf you think that then don't install everything under the sun or choose a better distro. You can just install only Plasma Desktop, Doplhin and the handful of utilities you actually use, you know?
