A picture of Lara Croft in new Tomb Raider hand in hand with Lara Croft from the old Tomb raider Series. The new one labeled GNOME and the old one KDE.

  • Is it? Gnome loads in a ton of services and feels pretty bloated to me. I don’t notice that it’s any lighter than KDE, and it often feels more sluggish.

    But, they’re both desktops and are loading in a bunch of stuff whether you use it or not, so you’re right that they’re pretty comparable.

      Gnome is bloated. It needs seconds just to oprn start menu/app switcher/or something like that on my low end laptop… :/
      It also uses more ram at iddle.

      Bro offered a truce, why not take it?

      Plasma and GNOME both have legitimate uses, no one is objectively better than the other.

      • First, I wasn’t the person “bro” responded to.

        Second, they said Gnome works fine and KDE is bloated by default, implying Gnome isn’t bloated. Which it certainly is, which I said.

        A person can’t just say, “you’re ugly as fuck, but let’s just agree to disagree” and have it be a truce.
