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.
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.
Or… Gnome works perfectly for people with different workflows and KDE by default is bloated…
Maybe we can agree both are just good?
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.
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.
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 like the template but the KDE GUI is simply beautiful, and looks very modern, so this is not really a real thing
i think is reversed… but it’s ok
KDE feels like Windows to me. GNOME is something entirely different, it’s UI is very touch friendly, only downside is it has old code all over the place.
Out of the box, maybe, but kde is super customizable to be how you want it. I think gnome can do that too, but it feels much more opinionated and all I ready about is install scripts that break. (I haven’t tried gnome in years though)
