KDE got around to updating the theme Kpersonalizer.
Original for those who don’t remember what it was like:
Jokes aside: I love KDE. Gnome is an idea that would work if you could actually do anything with it (maybe always adding extensions means they should you know make it functional).
Quick, someone make a mascot for KATE!
Also KDE supports window decorations under Wayland, and also a lot better IMHO.
Kate actually does have a mascot, Kate the Cyber Woodpecker
Wow, she actually looks cool!
Nice, but still no furry porn of her…
Hmmm… Don’t tempt me.
Though it would be funny if I was responsible for applying Rule 35 to a second character…
I can also try my own shot at it, I’ll see if I can draw something of her without getting distracted by other projects of mine. Haven’t drawn anything furry/kemono related yet, but will get the cloaca treatment as I gave to the two bird VTubers (Nanashi Mumei, Dokibird) I have drawn.
Well, she’s bird. I’ve seen too many Avali already to get freaked by a cloaca.
Meanwhile in chat…
jkh2rt;,5,??
Are we sure that Gnome is the most popular? I would’ve expected KDE to be the most popular one, even not considering the mascots.
Gnome is the most popular DE for Fedora. Though KDE is popular enough to finally get Fedora to place it equally alongside their Gnome ISO. But I would bet Gnome has at least a slim lead ahead of all DEs.
With the fall of Ubuntu maybe yeah
Amateurs
These are only the safe ones, you coward!
Own configuration of window manager wins.
On other news, KDE works, and Gnome doesnt; so that koncludes it for me
What
Huh?
You can’t conclude without DE!
Why not Konclusion?
Are these real LLM character sheets???
Don’t forget the OG KDE mascot Kandalf
But he’s not that popular.
Yes we can!
Yes we kan!
XFCE: including it in the meme is bloat
Watching Gnome and KDE from Cinnamon 🍿😎
I wish I understood, what are those comments and characters and what do they have to do with kde or gnome?
Konqi is KDE’s mascot
Yeah dont love how kiki the squirel looks like a child in a bikini wtf.
I don’t think it’s a good idea for a cyborg to go anywhere near water
In Kiki’s case it seems she is canonically waterproof
I see someone wants to run for president
No, they said they DON’T like it!
But could we see Konqi in a bikini. That feels more age appropriate.
@LetchLemon @MyVeryRealName who’s konqi ?
The dragon
That’s the
mascotambassador, a boy dragon with a headscarf and “K”hornsantlers, but there’s canonically an entirevillagevalley of them, and they created Kiki.Edit: changed terms to reflect official lore
So much more appropriate if they wore bikinis. Opposed to creating a human squirrel hybrid in their lab and slapping it in a 2 piece.
*Konclusion
Mortal Kombat?
Kant you kome up with something kool
Did the Gnome people ever figure out how to put icons on the desktop yet?
What’s a desktop? Is that like a big dmenu or something?
Jesus it was pissing me off since 2017. I left Gnome in favor of KDE in 2019 You’re telling me you still can’t make a shortcut like a human being???
Icons on the desktop is a non-feature for most gnome users. Even my Windows desktop has been empty since XP released. If you really want desktop icons then using an extension for that should be fine, but it’s silly to frame this as a failing of the “Gnome people” just because Gnome doesn’t replicate the classic Windows desktop experience.
Then why have a desktop? Why not just an app drawer or always ready terminal?
Seems like the worst of both worlds in terms of utilitarianism and aesthetics.
That’s the beauty of KDE: you can make it pretty much anything you like and customize it: desktop icons or not, using the app menu or krunner, a mix of all, etc.
For all intents and purposes I don’t have a desktop. It’s just a wallpaper and canvas for the actual workflow. The app drawer is one keypress away, as is the terminal (and I prefer to have separate sessions for different tasks anyway). I usually see my desktop for about five seconds after bootup per day so there’s not much reason to put anything else there. Think of it like the wallpaper or black background of a tiling window manager. I really don’t get how this is such a crazy idea to some people. I’ve subconsciously used the exact same workflow since before Gnome even implemented it, just without explicit support from my desktop environment.
I have kde, but also don’t use desktop icons
Icons on the desktop is a non-feature for most gnome users
Yeah because everyone who uses them is on KDE now.
Probably, yeah? I mean I’d hope they’re not still using Gnome if desktop icons are their one wish in life…
I have icons on my desktop, icons in my taskbar, and of course the menu. taskbar, always there, one click, boom! second tier apps, desktop, less used stuff, open menu.
I use KDE BTW
Whatever floats your boat. I’m using my keyboard probably 90% of the time and hitting super and typing in one to three letters followed by enter is the fastest way for me to navigate to pretty much anything including system settings and documents. Finding stuff on a desktop with more than a dozen icons is annoying to me. I move windows and switch focus with the standard keyboard shortcuts etc. It’s a familiar workflow for tiling WM users and works that way out of the box, yet Gnome has been catching shit for it since v3. It used to be the disgruntled Gnome 2 userbase but nowadays it seems to be mostly people who don’t use Gnome at all lol.
I love it, the three finger swipe gestures for laptops are golden too
There’s an extension that lets you do that. Once a week it breaks and makes icons appear over other windows.
That sums up my experience with Ubuntu Gnome.
