  • When I got back to Linux some years back, I tried using GNOME because I had had good experiences with GNOME 2. Modern GNOME is awful, terribly opinionated and - in my view - has actual usability issues. Every interaction with the DE felt like pulling teeth and I didn’t enjoy it one bit. GNOME Classic was better, but even that never felt quite right. At the time I wanted to use Wayland and therefore had limited options, so for the first time ever I tried Plasma, and I immediately found it to my liking. With only a few small cosmetic tweaks it felt like home. Things made sense to me and everything was where it should be - more or less; nothing’s perfect. Since then I’ve looked at other options, but Plasma usually has one feature or another that alternative desktops lack or struggle with. So for now I’m sticking with Plasma, and I have no real reason to look elsewhere.

    To be sure, I don’t hate on anyone who prefers GNOME, it’s just not my cup of tea. Not by a long shot. Use what works for your use case.

    People really fail to understand what a truly colossal undertaking a site like YouTube is. It’s a technological wonder that they are able to process that much data and serve it so efficiently. Hate YouTube all you want, I do, but the engineers at Google are fucking magicians.
