    I like the look of gnome desktop GUI, but yes KDE Plasma is beautiful in mobile edition, I’ve already tried it via pinephone pro and it appeals to me because of how similar looking to Android it is.

    To me, KDE Plasma is STILL convoluted and buggy as hell. It also doesn’t feel very coherent and it’s less of an overall “ecosystem” as GNOME is. I think, many apps from KDE are straight unusuable.

    The only thing I hate from Plasma, since de Kde days, is the multimedia panel… What a mess to control audio input and output devices… They tried to make something about it, but still very messy for me, the UI is not good…

    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

    Gnome is so damn basic it’s barely an OS anymore. Maybe in like the 2000’s it was, but now there’s barely anything there. They don’t even have a fucking system tray because they refuse…

    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.

    I tried KDE and I just can’t get along with it. I’m on Nobara since months and have tweaked my Gnome shell with to perfectly fit my needs with extensions. Now Nobara changes to KDE for its official version and I don’t want to follow that… and since I only play Hunt: Showdown it works perfectly fine and smooth on Wayland for me. Oh – ok – I do some VR gaming as well but for this I just switch to X11 session.

    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.
