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!

    this is just a meme, I know that everyone is different and not all GNOME or KDE users are like that!!

    I used to be a GNOME fanboy, but then GNOME 3 came and I can't stand it. Now I'm a KDE fanboy

    i actually kinda like gnome since gnome 40 release.
    it still sucks to use on small displays like laptops tho due to all the padding everywhere
    also gnome's touchpad gestures and multi-desktop management is superior to that of kde.

    Gnome is awesome on my big ultra wide monitor but sucks balls on my old laptop with a 768p display. I think the meme is backwards.

    it doesn't suck balls that deep on 768p, but you'll be basically working with one fullscreen app per desktop

    Well yeah it's usable but I'd rather use even windows at that resolution to be honest even though I'm somewhat of a gnome fanboy.

    That was me with gnome 1.1 or 1.2, when they replaced the window manager by something way less configurable.

    Luckily Xfce exists which gives you back all of the configurability of old Gnome.
    Move those panels around, add as many as you like!
    Me, I've just looked at screenshots of old gnome and can't remember why I ever thought 2 panels visible at all times were a good idea.
    I love current gnome, cause with a single extension I can hide literally all of it until I need to bring it up with the super-button. And then I have my favorite apps, open windows, workspaces, systray, clock and a search field all visible at once.

    Too little, too late. Kde does everything, already did ages ago. There's no reason for switching.
