If Unity ever got Wayland and was more popular, i would switch.
I liked it in there...

Exactly how i felt after installing GNOME on Arch Linux for the first time.

I see gnome I downvote. Imagine using arch AND still liking to be told how you should use your system.

... How is GNOME different from KDE ?

u/IamThunderFart 9d ago edited 9d ago

Poor choice as well, but at least with KDE you have WAY more freedom to customize any way you want. Gnome is "do your shit the way we'll tell you and absolutely never ask for options, themes or customization, we know more than you and you should do things the way we dictate." Fuck gnome.

Alright, at least some grounded argument. You're right about GNOME not being upfront with what they allow you to customize, heck, I also hated it for that same reason when I first tried it and switched to KDE.
However, it's not safe to say it doesn't get ANY customization at all (making default GNOME look like Ubuntu was actually a satisfying rice session X) the terminal is Ghostty, put some of my KDE workflow in like "open the terminal in this folder", and learned in details about how to manually install cursors, icons, and fonts to name a few). I just got rice fatigue from KDE, Hyprland and co., and then realized I actually like Ubuntu's look, just preferred Arch's rolling release model and the FREEDOM of switching DE if I ever choose to again.
Hence this final build.

Oh they're VERY upfront, they don't want you tinkering, period.

What little customization you get is merely crumbs in comparison with other serious DE's made by grownups.

Not bothering to answer to the mental gymnastics about "ricing" (I hate that stupid word), I use linux a tool to work, not as a doll to play dress up with.

> not as a doll to play dress up with
while simultaneously complaining about the lack of customizability in a DE you don't even use is crazy

u/anny0a 8d ago

install a wayland.fyi compositor in lfs if you really want to customize that much man

That's why I use gnome now

stop telling this person how to use their system

u/IamThunderFart 9d ago

I specifically didn't mention any other DE to avoid that.

u/EzyPzyAsh 9d ago

telling them how not to use ttheir system is also telling them how to

Okay, litmus test, what do you think about Lunduke and Proud Boys?

It can be very useful to have well created, opinionated software that just works.

Eg. code formatters. I don't care about the format so long as it's reasonable and uniform across the codebase.
