Lul, whos downvoting a discussion about personal visual preferences :D.
But I was always kind of a KDE fan, just that back then I liked switching DEs (like distro hopping, but all at the same on one distro).
Im not installing Aero tho :). But I do think it was peak Windows design, the only their design (if transparency worked) that I liked more than the classic theme.
Ooohh, ty, ofc I’m stupid, I didn’t even realise I was replying in gnome community, my bad, def a dickish move, lul.
I might have also failed to pick up on how much more ppl complain about gnome tho, but its probably true. I assume bcs its the most popular DE, especially since the long Ubuntu era, and has also gone through bigger changes, but also I fell like gnome was in its early age instantly more usable than KDE (which is a bit older iirc), or at least more customisable out of the box (sure, no widgets, but back then they were little more than ornaments).
I couldn’t handle the default look after GNOME 2 (GNOME Classic never felt right). But basically with the same ‘too tablety’ argument.
Yeah instead of upgrading above GNOME 40 I switched to KDE with this. It has been a dream

Because gnome fans are tired of everyone shitting all over gnome all the time, especially in a gnome community.
It definitely feels like no one really complains about KDE nearly as much as gnome. Like no one would care that you prefer KDE but stop downing gnome.
It happens here in a thread literally about just some small redesign. Why? It’s not at all relevant to the conversation

Eh I’ve seen people shit on KDE, like calling it a toy bin of broken settings, or it being all UI and no UX.
They’re both great desktops with different goals, in the end. To each their own :)
