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.
Everyone here is super salty, meanwhile I just thought this was suggesting that GNOME is like a rounder KDE
The idea that kde looks bad is laughable… Kde user here lol.
I like the template but the KDE GUI is simply beautiful, and looks very modern, so this is not really a real thing
Every one here arguing about kde and gnome - Im just vibin, waiting for Cosmic to hit v1.
Never heard of Cosmic before this, is this a new DE?
It’s a fork from gnome by System76 (From Pop!OS)
Not quite. The current PopOs DE is a gnome fork with ‘cosmic shell’, etc. The Cosmic Desktop Environment that has yet to be released is just a new DE written in Rust that will replace this Gnome variant in future pop versions.
They give regular progress updates here: https://blog.system76.com/
Ah gotcha, it’ll still look pretty similar though, right?
Yeah, it looks like they’ve tried to tone down the annoying 'touch’iness of Gnome and it has built-in support for themes, etc - but the screenshots give a very similar vine to gnome overall.
Rust-based DE from Pop OS folks thats in a ‘public alpha’ right now. https://blog.system76.com/
Unicorn is an xfce based thing for Rhino Linux fhat also looks interesting.
the KDE users really are being salty with this one
Bc it makes no sense.
Pure terminal, GUI is for noobs 🤣
Anything based or forked from GNOME 3 or 2 is considered very solid
GNOME 4(0)+ is a practical joke made by canonical that has the only benefit of leading wayland support, which itself is also a practical joke made to scare the X.Org devs
It’s happening, the nostalgic idiots start to embrace Gnome 3 too! Every version people call the older one good but this time most who disliked 3 actually seemed more happy with 4…
I actually really love the workflow of workspaces. Not to mention it keeps the screen really clean with just the thin top bar. Compare that to windows-like desktops where you are cycling through alt-tab a lot of the time.
Have you ever used either?
To say they’re reversed is pushing it as I’m not sure gnome is at the level of the low poly lara yet
I used Gnome for years and can honestly say that if you put a lot of effort into it, mess with configs, and install a few extras, it rises to a new level of kind of shitty but usable.
Fuck, KDE was pretty a decade ago, and Gnome is still just plugging away, being the bare minimum.
I honestly don’t really see it, I think vanilla GNOME looks amazing, while KDE Plasma just screams Windows 7 to me.
Having said it that, both are great DE’s with vastly different approaches. So these can definitely just co exist, while we can both agree that both DE’s are great for different people and workflows.
One thing I’ll give gnome, it’s really good for 2-in-1s. The desktop metaphor works really well for tablet and trackpad use out of the box.
And other memes made by people who have never used KDE.
Gnome and KDE are equally good.
Imo they are both solid technologically, but KDE delivers much more with it’s defaults. Obviously you can theme both to hell and back and make them look however you want and get whatever functionality you want, but default KDE is so much more usable than default gnome it’s not even a competition.

KDE uses less RAM, you can fact check quite easily.
Depending on the distro it ships with more or less stuff, but a few games, an office suite, media players for audio/video and in some cases a partition manager, are all necessary tools in any setup, at least in my book.
I don’t see the bloat.
Plasma itself isn’t bloated, it is only bloated if you install the entire suite of KDE applications. Installing plasma by itself doesn’t require that many dependencies.
GNOME has a similar level of optionals for their desktop environment as well, you’re just expected to actually INSTALL them.

I wasn’t saying you were saying that, just adding to the point! Sorry for the confusion.
Ahh ok. Sorry for my confusion then as well! All good here. Have a good one.
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.Gnome consume more power. Gnome better for PC
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.
Let me put this here so it’s more easily understood- /s
I was being sarcastic to make a point. They are both fine and it’s good that people have choice.
i think is reversed… but it’s ok
como chiste esta genial
as a joke it’s great

Used both and really love both.
That would be way more accurate with KDE on the left and XFCE on the right. GNOME is completely different (and also, hands down, very ugly) out of the box.
I believe in KDE supremacy.
