Today I talk about why I'm finally ready to settle down. Why did it have to be Gnome though?👇 PULL IT DOWN FOR THE GOOD STUFF 👇Patreon - https://patreon.co...
Kinda rich dissing KDE for its “unstability” and putting GNOME as its paradigm, the very DE well known to break every major version.
Sometimes this kind of posts/“content” make me feel like I must be the only person in the world who hasn’t had major issues with KDE and it’s been absolutely flawless lately, specially since 5 - but I then realize people without issues don’t complain. It’s the people who have issues with something that make the noise and make it a very big deal (and I’d argue most cases are of the PEBCAK type).
If the need is for something simple and stable I’d shoot for something like Xfce - but putting GNOME as the example of “stability” is nothing but laughable.
If most of the features you use are gnome extensions you shouldn’t be using gnome. There are plenty of other desktops that would meet your needs better.
Most? I don’t think that someone who installs Dash to Panel would say most of their features are extensions, just some essential ones. I feel like you could go as far as “If any essential features you use are gnome extensions you shouldn’t be using gnome.”
Reliability? Gnome maybe stable… per version! New resease? New breaking change! Screws all your extension and themes, and removes certain features because its “a decade old” or something.

There’s dozens of us! (kidding, it’s clear in recent years it’s way more than that, and I’m happy to see it.)
If folks are happy with how GNOME does things… I’m happy for them.
From my personal experience having used primarily Gnome and KDE, KDE plasma always seems to have weird quirks and bugs upon first install that require fiddling and Google searching or waiting for them to be patched.

GNOME doesn’t break, extensions do.
Its not as bad as some people make it
They’re literally ignoring specs… and also most of the features of gnome are the extensions, so I’d count that.

But that is like saying Firefox is garbage, even though it’s addon ecosystem is its big USP. Same way, GNOME has extension ecosystem as its USP.

Okay, I agree with that. CSD/SSD is a great example

Why do you want to use desktop icons?

Gnome has been rock solid for me and I’ve only had a handful of issues in over 5 years on Fedora.
Gnome focuses on reliability while KDE focuses on innovation
