To be fair, there is and has been a KDE spin. I can see an argument for gnome, as it's overall the simpler environment. Simple defaults has been fedoras thing for a long time.

I don't understand the simpler argument. Installing and using extensions and gnome-tweaks to change basic settings is not simpler. And I strongly dislike a large number of defaults.

With KDE Plasma, defaults make more sense to me so I barely have to change configuration. If I really need to, the setting is there and easily used.

Since KDE changed to dbl-click by default, the only thing I change is Numlock on boot. 10 seconds to fix, and I know it'll stay changed because KDE is allergic to removing user settings.

True, Plasma is very usable out of the box. Well, if you like floating panels.

KDE is not good for stability and control. It is consumer oriented instead of enterprise oriented.

There isn't anything wrong with the KDE spin. If you want KDE it is available and well supported.

Wait are you saying is Gnome is better for enterprise environments cause it's harder for the users to mess things up? If so, yeah I can see that. It's perfect for the simple-minded. Not saying that all Gnomes are simpletons, just that I too would rather have some boomers Gnome.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 month ago

Exactly

I am what you call a simpleton

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

This is very true. KDE is very community oriented, while GNOME is better for corporations. Simply that.
