  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I've tried really hard to like GNOME, but god damn we don't get along. Debian 12 is solid AF though.

    I have tried both kde and gnome many times and i can't stand either one. I'm forever stuck in cinnamon.

    somehow every distro that ships with kde has tons of big bugs that I can't figure out (probably related to my setup), and gnome feels like a tablet UI. cinnamon won't autosuspend but it's the smallest headache of these...

    Funny enough Cinnamon is Gnome 3 done right.

    And I agree gnome in general has its sore points, I'm just used to them.

    I found that for me installing KDE Plasma on Mint is peak. I'm using it like this since the Mint 22 Beta.

    What was the issue with kubuntu?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I have actually been itching to do that, but I read that it messes up cinnamon so there's no going back and I don't have the time to do a full reinstall now. btw what happens to all the software you have installed? do they stay and still work properly?

    I have no clue what the issues are with Cinnamon getting messed up, but mine works just fine still. Even went back to using it for a bit when changing my monitor setup broke KDE for a bit (some poller service wasn't getting the responses it was expecting and it kept messing up the resolutions and disconnecting one of them until I figured it out and turned it off)
