Plasma 6.1 is due to be released in three days, and lots of attention went into final release readiness activities: QA, bug-fixing, performance profiling, auto-testing, stuff like that. Boring but …
While I love KDE, why do we have to have this mentality? I don’t care how much of a joke it is or not, just let people use what they want to use. I’ve never used GNOME and I’m not about to start commenting about it but I do know there are a ton of people who use it and love it as much as I love KDE. It’s like the whole Android vs iPhone debate; who fucking cares?
IMO being part of a community and watching a project evolve is fun, e.g. using Plasma over the years and seeing it grow. I just don’t get the point of bashing another project on the merits of “it’s not the thing I use so it’s inherently bad”. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
While there’s something to be said for Android vs iPhone from an ideological standpoint, that also doesn’t apply for KDE and Gnome, both of which are OSS, bay-bee

Tribalism is fun

All that text and not even one mention of what you don’t like with Gnome.
You need a break from the internet.
Couldn’t you install KDE?

I’d argue there are two ideologies.
Gnome focuses on design and user interaction, then features.
Plasma focuses on configuration and modularity, then design.
It does seem like they are starting to converge though. With gnome focusing on more features, and Plasma focusing more on design and consistency.
theyre just farming engagement. lukewarm takes are the lifeblood of good ecosystems but generally ignored on social web.
