  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    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.

    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.
