I try once each year for about a month but so far I just can’t and I’m the opposite. Before the total style change it was also opposite and early kde was just kinda gross. Old gnome was my entry point with desktop environments and linux in general. When the change happened I tried literally everything else before kde because I didn’t like the older versions but eventually it came standard on a lot of distros and I just got used to it.
I’ve installed Fedora 42 KDE to try out Plasma 6.4 as last time I’ve used KDE it was 5.x… Anyhow, I’m back to GNOME after 2h of messing with settings unable to get desired results. And the KDE animations are just bad… Still better than Windows though.
gnome with arcmenu (I like windows like menu - the ads) dash to panel (place window menu at bottom alongside commonly used apps, date/time, and the control center), window thumbnails (pip any window) and a few other plugins is very nice looking imo feela like an os from the future, and its clean, stable. I got kde plasma looking pretty close to it layout wise, drag and drop was a bit more finnicky than enabling extensions and clicking through settings.
I just overall like the look better and it feels better to use, gnome feels like modern de, you can’t just throw something together (someone who knows what they are doing coded those extensions and how it could fit within your layout, they tested it over time) while kde plasma feels like a really feature rich de from 2012, layout placement is up to you to test and figure out, idk how else to explain it in my head
I’ve had to use it in vocational school, and after a few months I started to like it over Windows interface. Later on I’ve touched Xfce and seen people around me use KDE, but still prefer GNOME. I’ve got no idea why.
Yes gnome > KDE
This is a hill i will die on

⚔️ You just started a war. 😂 KDE > Gnome. 🤭
I can’t get excited about the Gnome interface. It somehow works in such an unfamiliar way. What is the advantage supposed to be?

Completely agree. I find GNOME just annoying, ugly, and in some places inconsistent.
KDE/i3/Sway 4evarr!

I respect GNOME for it’s simplicity, but prefer KDE for the chaos.
I agree, Gnome 2 was better. Ever since then, however, Gnome has been the worst environment available.
