    I migrated from Kubuntu after 4 years to Debian 12 last month. Default GNOME DE. Yesterday I uninstalled that shit and installed Plasma. GNOME is pretty and shit, but just wasn’t for me.

      Every time I try GNOME I get very confused about what they’re training to achieve. I don’t like a lot of basic default settings, a story in itself. But the worst part is that they can only be changed via advanced tooling not installed by default (extensions, GNOME tweak). How is that user friendly?

        Completely agree, I understad the power of gnome extensions and why some people love them, but they shouldn’t be needed for basic things like showing minimize buttons, tray icons, etc. KDE also has widgets, but those add extra functionality or alternatives to what plasma already has.

      I used to use GNOME and modded it heavily to my liking. Because the default gnome feels like it’s missing stuff. Now it kinda makes sense why I’m okay with using MacOS and modding it’s missing features.
