Where Absolute Matter

Can someone tell me the name of the game at 5:09 please 😉

I am switching to i3😎

if u migrate from gnome to kde ur opinion kinda doesnt matter

Try XFCE next if you haven’t. Not very customizable but RAM and CPU usage very low.

I use kde arch at work, mac os at home and only windows for games.

I love Gnome, but since v44 (maybe even 43) there has been some performance loss playing games. You would get some micro studders when playing games. I thought it was just a Linux thing, then I installed HoloOS (SteamDeck OS for the PC) and they went away. So I rocked that for a while, tried to install Arch (but with Gnome again) issues where there. Tried various other distros (all with Gnome) still had issues. So I stayed on that HoloOS. Then I tried Garuda Linux Gaming Edition and it worked flawlessly. So I switched to using that, even though I hate all the stuff they add (bloat). Then I saw your video where you talked about Gnome issues, so I installed Vanilla Arch with Plasma instead and guess what I am using now, Yep Vanilla Arch with Plasma and gaming is rock solid.

Gnome has some good ideas and is meant for businesses and help centers. Everything works, looks and is in the same place on everyones system. Plus their touchpad, touchscreen, accessibility is the best out of all the Desktop Environments ( which is why it is the default for most distros ).

If you are a gamer, stay away from Gnome till they figure out what they did to cause those issues however. Although if Valve pulled their head out and just released the SteamOS 3x/4 to all PCs that would be a mute point as I would run that as my daily as its rock solid and they do some tweaks that will help. Wait till FSR3 comes to SteamDeck in any game.

There are quite a few things I do not like about Plasma (KDE), mainly it is around theming and how broken that can be unless you do a lot of work. It could be an easy fix for Plasma, but a pain for the community at first however. They would have to have a set way to do the themes. Then remove all the older themes, have them all re-submitted so they work, especially the global ones. Also need to make the settings a little more friendly, maybe basic controls by default, then you can select higher functions if you need them. Right now new people get overwhelmed. Also they need to fold in a better launch dock (as a lot of people like them) like the dead Latte Dock.

I see in plasma 6 they give up using X11, on wayland screensharing isn’t just working out of the box, that’s why I switched to KDE from Gnome (also it supports screen cloning only on 1 device like a tablet), I hope they can fix it till all the LTS plasma 5 distros are no longer supported

Been a Gnome DE user for years. Coming from MacOS it’s been perfect. I’m very tempted by the promise of deep customization and improved stability. Further convenienced by Steam Deck and Nobara and Endeavour landing on it as a default.

Hyprland for the win

What i really don’t like in Plasma is dock (vel panel or taskbar). Changing it’s size makes it really messy, cause some elements are scalling, some not and it look really bad. And there is no way to change the size of the dock without scalling anything. Sadly it’s been always like that.
