    Tried KDE in the early days, it was all over the place. Switched to gnome when it was baked. I had been gnome for years. Every update broke and replaced plugins to make it work like I wanted. I’ve had Windows layout since’95, I have to go back and forth a lot, so muscle memory is key.

    After fucking with gnome for the 90th time. I tried KDE again, it was just layed out like I wanted. No plugins, no fucking with it. The worst thing I have to do is set dolphin not to open on single click.

    I see people here going well if you don’t take it as it comes you’re going to have a bad time. That’s pretty much the least Linux comment I’ve ever read. That’s OSX in a nutshell.

      Yeah, KDE was rough in the early days thanks to QT. But things slowly worked themselves out. While I don’t change much with KDE, I do change a few minor things, mostly I make sure the capslock is off and single click to open is on and I got to have that 3D box to switch my desktops. But I do like the power of easy choice KDE offers.

      Still I do get nostalgic for the old Gnome2 days. So I have Cinnamon DE installed on a low powered mini desktop. And it runs amazingly well.

        I tried Cinnamon out in a live distro It was pretty pleasant. I find Nemo for more enjoyable than Dolphin.
