I found a thread on reddit where some doofus was claiming the classic cube layout from Compiz is completly useless and nothing more than eye candy after someone was having trouble with setting up the cube on Wayfire.
It is objectively the best way to handle multiple workspaces.
I feel forced to use slightly customized breeze at this point, because every other theme I would like is either straight up buggy or does not support all of the features Plasma has now...
Idk, default KDE is almost okay for me. I spend maybe 2 minutes changing a few task bar options and virtual desktops.
I used to go crazy with conky and icons and colors and a bunch of crap. Now I got work to do, leave my w95 looking desktop alone.
Itβs not a Linux experience if you donβt customize it to the point of it breaking.
Idk, all the power to everyone who wants it but I also like ootb experiences
Some people want to remove bloat to have a more efficient system
Some people want to remove bloat so they can fill it up again with their own bloat
They are not the same
I'm the second part of this statement and I don't like it.
hey, all that processing power used to layer three layers of differently tinted slightly differently translucent blurred windows with rounded corners are WORTH IT.
EDIT : after all, you need it to run a terminal based browser.
Whatever bloats your boat.
It's not bloat if you want it
Time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.
One man's bloat is another's treasure
One man's waste is another man's soap.
Son's fanbase know the brother-man's dope
Bloat isn't "software I chose and spent time installing and configuring"
But it can be "software I forgot I installed and consumes resources despite me not really using it"
True, and that's a bad practice to take part in! If it's something that actively runs and consumes resources, one should keep around only if needed.
Your title alone deserves multiple upvotes. The meme is just the icing.
It's just so fun having an OS that you can make work for you vs being shoehorned into things you never asked for.
Finally KDE will allow us to save our custom desktop layout. I might spend all my weekends customising my setup from now on.
I love that many of the pictures in the bottom are from Rainmeter. A software for Windows that allows you to place customised widgets anywhere. So... literally have nothing to do with Linux
Customization is and always will be a key selling point of Linux, that's why I refuse to recommend any district with gnome as DE.
You got to recommend what fits the user. Otherwise you are just telling them what fits you.
Gnome is customizable tho. Just not as much as kde:β :)
I keep reading that KDE is super customizable, but nobody ever gives examples. What can be customized other than changing colors and rearranging panels? I'd love to make it my own, but I don't have the first clue what that would mean.
Gnome is easily the least customizable DE in the entire Linux ecosystem.
And I'm sure their devs are hard at work coming up with ways to make it even less customizable in the future.
I prefer hype land myself but can live with ideas unlike gnome
Cinnamon best DE
It's all fun and games until you have to actually maintain everything as time goes on. At some point the tradeoff in personal time becomes too great.
My ricing days are long gone. Now I just roll with the defaults and adjust the key bindings since my muscle memory has already hardened into diamonds.
...but I actually like GNOME!
There are quite a few customization options for it too.
Its almost like I CHOSE to have this shit bog down my pc
I got to the point in my life where I just enjoy a basic Debian XFCE with no customization (except for removing the bottom bar and adding some shortcut keys). With so much going on in real life, I learned of enjoy the never-changing stability on my PC.
Me too. I recently switched from NixOS to Fedora workstation because I didnt have the energy anymore to maintain my config. And all my kubernetes stuff got shoved in proxmox lxcs via the community scripts.
The high customisability of Linux desktop is part of the reason why I moved from Windows. Everything looks so clean and modern, and doesn't have any of the Windows bloat. It's so good.
It really is. Every time I think "Hey, it would be cool if my desktop could have [blank]", I look it up and someone has already had that idea and built it.
You may see insanity, I see home.
It's like forcefemming your pc :3
That's okay. I don't customize anything to balance it out.
Its fun. With the power of nixos i always have a safe fallback in case i brake something and need my laptop.
I almost spit out my coffee. Thanks!
Like all things, it will pass. Still the possibility to go that far is a blessing
It's inside the fracking house!
