    GNOME’s design philosophy is “we’ve determined that nobody needs this feature”.

    KDE’s is “we’ve determined that nobody needs this feature… but it would be really cool, fuck it, we ball cube”.

      “we’ve determined that nobody needs this feature”

      How? Trust me bro! Users hate features, they get all confused and stuff. That’s why nobody should ever choose anything, the OS should just be shit forever. We also get paid by Microsoft and IBM coincidentally.

        We also get paid by Microsoft and IBM coincidentally.

        Microsoft and IBM both donate to the Linux Foundation itself. They are both platinum members who regularly give them funds for all kinds of projects. This is really idiotic gotcha attempt.

          A donation isn’t quite the same as pay (as in salary)! I’m thinking of Miguel de Icaza and Lennart Poettering, for example.

      Well who needs systrays anyways? While we’re at it, let’s remove theming support too! Surely nobody would miss that feature?

      I really miss KDE. Sadly my experience with new major versions (5, 6) tends to be that plasma is unstable for daily use for at least a year or two. I’ll be back once things settle down a bit.

        Plasma 6 has been nothing but great for me! Not a single crash ever since it released. It’s nothing like the beginning of Plasma 5

          Sadly my problems are with buggy applications, and hdr (more of a monitor issue than plasma itself). I’m hoping these get patched as more people yell at bad wayland support and poorly implemented hdr.

          Somehow, under GNOME things “just work”. Or at least it doesn’t take down the entire session.
