Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • 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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I don't understand the simpler argument. Installing and using extensions and gnome-tweaks to change basic settings is not simpler. And I strongly dislike a large number of defaults.

    With KDE Plasma, defaults make more sense to me so I barely have to change configuration. If I really need to, the setting is there and easily used.

    Since KDE changed to dbl-click by default, the only thing I change is Numlock on boot. 10 seconds to fix, and I know it'll stay changed because KDE is allergic to removing user settings.

    True, Plasma is very usable out of the box. Well, if you like floating panels.

    KDE is not good for stability and control. It is consumer oriented instead of enterprise oriented.

    There isn't anything wrong with the KDE spin. If you want KDE it is available and well supported.

    Wait are you saying is Gnome is better for enterprise environments cause it's harder for the users to mess things up? If so, yeah I can see that. It's perfect for the simple-minded. Not saying that all Gnomes are simpletons, just that I too would rather have some boomers Gnome.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 6 months ago

    Exactly

    I am what you call a simpleton

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago

    This is very true. KDE is very community oriented, while GNOME is better for corporations. Simply that.
