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!

    Eh, my main reason for going KDE is every time I try Gnome, it feels like "what do I do now" and "where is the program I opened"

    I know that would get better with time spent using it, but then again, KDE feels like I can make it do what I want a lot easier

    And none of the other DEs look as nice and polished, which, I know, that's not the important part ... But dammit, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time staring at it, I'd like it to look good to me at least

    Gnome is better on that now, but I have been using gnome since back when KDE was using non-free libraries to be prettier

    Gnome probably isn't the best free desktop anymore, but I guess I'm used to it

    There's a lot to be said for familiarity and its impact on productivity... Which is why I hate when UI layouts change for no apparent reason other than to be different.

    It's also good to try and work the way the system is designed for — or maybe to share a way of working with the design leads

    Gnome likes you to have several things open, spread across the different desktops, and you really want to know the shortcuts for jumping between stuff

    That's why I stopped using Gnome. I loved Gnome 2.x, but then they went all screwey with Gnome 3 so I switched to Cinnamon.

    The last time I was meaningfully using Linux was around the time of Ubuntu 8.04 - my experience was the opposite of this.

    When I have the time, I'll be dipping back in on Zorin (which I think defaults to modded KDE) - I've spun up VM, and it seems like it's worth a shot... I just need to confirm it'll play the small handful of games I play, find a slicer app, and pull the trigger. Damn near everything else is Web-based or self-hosted.

    Yeah, Gnome is VERY different than in 2008
