I used to use gnome, but Wayland is much more mature on KDE right now so I switched. Gnome is much more stable though. Maybe once gnome reintroduces theming, fixes fractional scaling, and lets you customize GTK again I'll switch back.

Having used both, I actually wouldn't agree with that, at least on Arch Linux I've had more problems with GNOME stability-wise. I think it's because they have a tendency to make breaking changes between releases. Maybe this wouldn't be true for fixed-release distros, though.
Theming is already working, it just took a while for people to get their themes ported/create new themes since theming GTK4/Libadwaita apps and the 40+ shell is so different from before. But as I learned from scrolling unixporn, there's quite a few options available now. And as for fractional scaling, there's a spec that was recently introduced into mainline Wayland for that that GNOME is going to be implementing, though right now the spec is only compatible with QT6 and probably won't support GTK until GTK5. I believe that spec also includes a fix similar to the one Plasma uses for XWayland apps but I might be wrong there.

I fucking love GNOME. Tried to use other things but I always come back to it. Gotta be one of my favorite genders of all time frfr

Default Ubuntu is the most oppressed? You’ve got to be KDEing me

Ironically, I love the Gnome race in D&D. Yet I wouldn't touch Gnome the desktop environment with a 10 foot pole.

I used to love GNOME but after trying KDE Plasma I can never go back

I feel the same but in reverse. I've heard that the KDE sprint earlier this year included work to get the Overview up to par with GNOME's Activities Overview for Plasma 6, and I might switch back after that releases.

I just love how customizable KDE is. GNOME is a little more intuitive but KDE has a lot more to it imo
animelivesmatter@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
I have like 20 extensions installed and fine tuned or some shit to fulfill by need for extreme customization
I just counted it it's exactly 20 enabled, and a couple others that aren't enabled

I can't stand Gnome, but thanks to the freedom of linux I never have to use it

GNOME is the best DE and I’m tired of people saying otherwise

I have the perfect meme to reply to this, as soon as I manage to create a .desktop file in the right place to be able to right click -> "open with..." my file in my preferred image editor, you're toast

okay to be fair that's not a gnome thing, that's an everybody-but-KDE thing

Gnome is really nice, they really did a great job with Gnome 40 and the releases after that.

What is that notebook software?

Obsidian, it's a really good Markdown editor
animelivesmatter@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Yep, it's ObsidianMD, like the other person said. There's a ton of stuff there, such as being able to create tons of links between files and even links to files that don't yet exist, and then navigate those links and color code them in the graph view.
I also have RNote for handwritten notes, though that's more specific to Linux where Obsidian is cross platform

What's that music player on the lower-left corner of the first screenshot?
animelivesmatter@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Amberol, it's dead simple but does its job well. I actually found out about it on unixporn, where a ton of hyprland users had it in their screenshots

Nice! Haven't heard of it, thanks.
