KDE doesn't do a ton of stuff that many (most?) people care about like handle add/removing displays frequently. Accessibility is pretty good in GNOME (but not in KDE) which makes it a better default option too. Also most of the desktop plumbing (freedesktop.org stuff) seems to start in GNOME and works better there.
- sho_hn 12y ago> KDE doesn't do a ton of stuff that many (most?) people care about like handle add/removing displays frequently. KDE actually has very good display hotplugging/hotremove support. What problems are you having?
- andmarios 12y agoDefinitely not true. It handles add/removing displays, applying different color profiles to each monitor, etc. Freedesktop is DE agnostic and many technologies there come or are inspired from KDE.
- simoncion 12y agoWhat software are you using for color management? Last I checked, colord had been broken for at least six months, and the only mostly functional alternative [0] was some project called Oyranos that's signed with expired GPG keys and distributed from some OpenSuse server. [0] It applies color profiles just fine, but fails to also color-correct full screen programs.
- andmarios 12y agoI use oyranos and kolor-manager (depends on oyranos). For color profile auto-loading you will also need xcalib. These work automatically. I only have to generate and install profiles with dispcalGUI. Color correction works fine for full screen programs with two exceptions: [1] If you have set hardware accelerated (opengl) color correction then it doesn't work on full screen opengl apps. Normal color correction works there too. [2] Color correction never works on VDPAU. Today's CPUs though can decode anything with minimal effort (so no fans spinning uncontrollably), so no need for VDPAU.
