@codewiz you mean it does not crash after 5 clicks anymore? That would be truly awesome.

@art This is crazy, it almost sounds like your country was not built for it's people.
Last year I had a surgery, spent 2 days in hospital. Including all the pre-surgery prep stuff I had to pay <50€ from my pocket. And even that was later reimbursed by health insurance from my employer, even without it that would not have been a huge deal.

@globalc Imagine future where we have advanced as civilisation to gather energy direclty from stars ... just to continue with this crypto shitshow. In that scenario I consider our civilization to be an epic failure.

I have this annual or semi-annual tradition of rotating desktop environments. I do some jumping then I settle on something for a longer period of time ... until again ;)

This time around I did #Xfce -> #GNOME -> #KDE/#Plasma.

Maybe I will rotate back to Xfce eventually. Since both GNOME and KDE/Plasma have their ugly.
BTW, KDE is very aggressive. Basically after you switch to KDE, there is some cleanup to be done in $HOME regarding configs. Since all gtk related stuff is infested by Breeze etc. bacially your GNOME looks like some sort of frankenstein monster. Not cool KDE!

Some observations.

#GNOME

- Looks beautifully clean
- Font rendering somewhat ugly
- One has to learn to let go some lack of functionality (whatever #GNOME Gods have in mind - be it)
- Stability at the cost of functionality
- Also for stability reasone I do not use extensions (kindof scary to run JS on desktop)

#KDE / #Plasma

- Can poke all day configuring it
- Very frequently doing the above one would step on some bug (which is expected given the large surface). So bugs all over the place.
- Impossible to keep configuration reproducible (gazillion config files scattered in $HOME). I tried once to put in git - disastrous failure!
- Font rendering getting better
- Functionality at the expense of aesthetically pleasing looks
