GNOME is grared toward dev people who need something almost as minimal as a wm. KDE is better suited for average users.
Can someone ELI5 why this even matters/is such a big deal? Does the default DE have its tentacles so deep in the distro that it can’t be changed by users to suit their preferences?
I run i3 on Debian, and…well, actually, there is no “and,” I just installed the WM I wanted and that was it. And as I recall the installer asked what DE/WM I wanted to install anyway.
This is not April fools. The submitter did want to mess with people, though.
Please don’t! If RedHat start participating in KDE, it will kill it like it killed GNOME.
I like the UX KDE gives over Gnome. It feels way more like a personal computer, something that you can modify and do multiple tasks with.
Gnome is a lot more limited in functionality, but it’s also a lot more stable. KDE is buggy and has a tendency to crap the bed a few minutes after startup, which never happened to me with Gnome.
It’s a though decision, but lately I’ve been thinking of switching back to Gnome.
