Whatโs your beef with Gnome?
For me, it's "use it the dev way or no way at all" mentality baked in.
If you like the GNOME way of doing things, you'll feel great. If you don't like any aspect of it, it will be very hard to rectify.
Interesting that you had similar experience with KDE, because mine is on the contrary. Whatever I could envision, it could be made with KDE - even the stock one. Essentially, you can even recreate much of GNOME experience within it, if you so prefer.
idk.. it just feels very locked down, and honestly every time i've tried it, there's been some issue with it. I feel like it's not customizable enough for me, and also the themeing is inconsistent.
Thatโs honestly exactly how I would describe KDE, but to each their own!
you would describe KDE as.. not customizable?
Maybe OP likes a more Windows-like UI
That's not really my issue. I actually prefer MacOS like-interfaces, although in the grand scheme of things I don't actually care. I mostly just want to be able to choose what I want though.
