  • They have frequent releases that introduce features and bugs, and then they squash them every week.

    A stable distro like Debian will only update KDE once every ~2 years. If the version they use is full of bugs, you’re stuck with it.

    On the other hand you’ve got a DE like xfce that gets a release every few years, and the Devs make sure it’s as reliable as possible to fit that stable release schedule.



  • My bad.

    there are much better options available for mushroom induced experiences

    Depends on your tastes really. That’s like saying LSD is a strictly better experience than alcohol. They’re completely different types of psychoactive compounds.

    Also, it’s not like other mushrooms don’t cause nausea. I know people who’ve literally spent hours vomiting after eating cubes.



  • KDE no doubt. GNOME is a minimalist that depends on extensions to provide basic functionality, while also being a giant fatass. KDE works from the install, provides a sensible workflow, and has better tools.

    But I’d only use KDE on a rolling release or a 6 month release schedule distro. Their approach to development really doesn’t suit stable ones.





  • I mean the title should be “… time to move to the other browser”.

    Safari is the new IE with extra iCrap on top.

    Random browsers usually use one of the 3 web engines, but without browser polish, or functionalities like a working adblock. Those that don’t are just someone’s toys.

    So the only real option is Firefox, and the Mozilla foundation lost 80+% of their funding because they can’t get the Google money anymore. Maybe they’ll start actually funding FF instead of some BS humanitarian work that I can bet was primarily lining their pockets…


  • Try it out maybe? You’re not buying a car… There’s not much point going around and asking if you spend 20 mins trying it out and realise you don’t want to use a 5 year old DE.

    Basically expect the system will change only when you update to a new version, and that you’ll need to use external PMs like flatpak or nix for all user packages if you plan on doing anything more advanced than browsing and office work.
