Or… Gnome works perfectly for people with different workflows and KDE by default is bloated…
Maybe we can agree both are just good?
KDE uses less RAM, you can fact check quite easily.
Depending on the distro it ships with more or less stuff, but a few games, an office suite, media players for audio/video and in some cases a partition manager, are all necessary tools in any setup, at least in my book.
I don’t see the bloat.
Is it? Gnome loads in a ton of services and feels pretty bloated to me. I don’t notice that it’s any lighter than KDE, and it often feels more sluggish.
But, they’re both desktops and are loading in a bunch of stuff whether you use it or not, so you’re right that they’re pretty comparable.
Bro offered a truce, why not take it?
Plasma and GNOME both have legitimate uses, no one is objectively better than the other.
First, I wasn’t the person “bro” responded to.
Second, they said Gnome works fine and KDE is bloated by default, implying Gnome isn’t bloated. Which it certainly is, which I said.
A person can’t just say, “you’re ugly as fuck, but let’s just agree to disagree” and have it be a truce.
Let me put this here so it’s more easily understood- /s
I was being sarcastic to make a point. They are both fine and it’s good that people have choice.
Plasma itself isn’t bloated, it is only bloated if you install the entire suite of KDE applications. Installing plasma by itself doesn’t require that many dependencies.
GNOME has a similar level of optionals for their desktop environment as well, you’re just expected to actually INSTALL them.
I didn’t honestly say it was. I was being sarcastic to make a point.
