  • Thanks for the detailed reply! Now that I think about it I do vaguely remember a desktop with GNOME shell featured and a bar at the bottom.

    Man, the early days of GNOME 3 were awkward. I remember desperately trying stuff out now that GNOME 2 was phased out and ending up making my own de over openbox in the end. What a frustrating era.

  • To be fair there was less to compile, but that still sounds like a lot...

  • Wait, I remember Mate being a Gnome2 fork but Cinnamon? The more you know... :o

  • I've had growing pains for KDE on Wayland in the past but it's been chill in recent times too, I can't remember having any issue related to that for a long time

  • Can confirm. As an engineer I'm an absolute dumbass when it comes to advanced economics.

  • Goodness gracious ._.

  • Hopefully i can grab some time to take both for a spin soon!

  • 4 mins? Is that an hyperbole? Oo

  • Wow, thank you so much for the very thorough answer! I've been interested in both and having the point of view of someone who has experienced both is extremely useful. I appreciate it a lot.

  • This may not be the place but would you mind sharing how they compare in your opinion ?

  • Im on EndeavourOS like a lot of other folks here, which is basically Arch with an awesome installer, a handful of convenient extra tools, a sensible default confuguration and a fancy theme. It's been awesome so far, hell I've just been able to install and run an EA game from steam with minimal fuss yesterday, just the help of lutris to install EA Origin to authenticate. Shit just works.

    That being said, Arch can occasionally blow up at your face for no fault of your own and it's a very different environment from fedora (love fedora btw), so there's a bit of a learning curve that you're gonna have to accept to climb if you want to maintain your system.

  • Wait did you really take the retina thing literally ???

  • Maybe you've been using themes with too much contrast ? I mean, I can't work on a light theme for any extended period of time, but most dark themes are too stark and eye searing for me, so that may be your case too?

  • Mine sure aren't with light mode, even in brightly lit office environment. Different people have different eyes, and needs. What may be an unnecessary gimmick for you may very well be vital to the next person's livelihood.

  • Until it doesn't lol

  • I'm well aware. I was being facetious.

  • and it broke all my theeeeeeeeeeeeeeemes! \o/

  • I envy them 🥹

  • It's the same yeah
