Following the September release of the KDE LInux reference distribution for the KDE desktop in alpha form, KDE Linux developers have been working toward the beta release with more improvements to this open-source desktop distro.
KDE Linux as a reminder is KDE’s reference platform while leveraging an immutable base OS and Arch Linux packages for the core platform. KDE Linux will ship with all the latest and greatest KDE software releases.
Thats not a con for gnome, thats why I like gnome, I buuld it how I want, extensions for what I need, no settings for what I dont want/need.
Even then all you need is arcmenu (customizable startmenu with many easy to use presets) and dash to panel/dock to get it looking nice, it’s pretty usable by default if you don’t like clutter. I love scrolling through the extension store and seeing what people made for their needs that might fit mine. I have dozens but I don’t need them, it’s all just a nice bonus. Mostly also use tophat to show resource usage, chronomix for a timer for work in the topbar, the one that adds the background app icons, and idr the customization ones to make the top bar be colorful and have seperated buttons instead of a bar.
All the gnome hate is why I used kde for months before giving gnome a proper look (initially tried it for 5 seconds and didn’t even try to use extensions), I have not wanted to go back for the 6 months I’ve been using gnome.
Forgot I use an extension for dynamic tiling, always need something like that on any de/os.
