If you zoom in you can clearly see the Steam delivery girl using Windows 11 theme for KDE Plasma. It is so awesome that Valve artists pay attention even to the smallest details!

genuine question, do people like the windows 11 UI? I know you can make it more win10 like but by default I think it looks ugly

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can see why they moved all the buttons to the center (on widescreens, it's pretty silly to have to move the mouse pointer all the way), but the proper solution for that would have been a dock. And yeah, you can clearly see that they didn't want to go that far or they didn't realize that they wanted a dock, so you get this awkward in-between solution.

Yep, that was actually an improvement. The "right click" menu change is still doing my nut in though. It was change for the sake of change

I've installed W11 for gf and I sorta see the appeal but they clearly had no idea what to do with the whitespace in the bottom left caused by moving the start button and instead filled it with a nonsense button that'll inevitably get clicked billions of times by people expecting it to be the start button.

I like the blur... The rest not so much.

How can you tell it's plasma? Or is it supposed to be a joke?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

It is a joke and I thought it was a ridiculously obvious one.

That’s funny you noticed! Gnome all the way tho

After an hour or so of using gnome, every time I give it another chance, I recall this: https://userinyerface.com/

Obviously its not that bad but a bunch of minor things end up compounding into really pissing me off. Then god forbid you ask the devs to make an accessibility setting to resolve your problems. Or maybe the devs aren't shit people anymore, who knows.

Hahahaha. That website was very entertaining. I'm going to think about that every time I have to fill out a form online.

What makes people get so ticked off about gnome??? Either I'm the weird one for liking so called garbage but this is legitimately great to use and very efficient

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

nah it's just bad for me, and I guess a bunch of other people. Use what is comfortable to you. I'd rather use a tiling wm, but I end up wasting my life away on config so I usually just use kde.

i like the saying that gnome is made for the gnome devs, and a portion of the population happens to have the same preferences.

if you're one of those, great! if you're not, the gnome devs could not possibly care less about you.

I would tell you to fight me, but I guess I need to add an GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 argument to my KDE Konflict Picker first....
