    I find it hard to believe anything is better than Hannah Montana Linux.

    By itself sure but why would you be in a situation where you cant use extensions, dashtopanel, arcmenu, window thumbnails (pip) make gnome solid, finally commited to one de for now, theyd need to add window thumbnails at least for me to swap back

    Cool, and you’re entitled to your opinion. I still prefer the workflow of Gnome on my desktop (and Plasma on my laptop).

      I don’t dislike GNOME (except for their insistence on shirking and breaking standards that everyone else uses), but I’m curious about why you prefer KDE on your laptop, but GNOME on your desktop. If anything, I’d think that GNOME’s larger UI might be easier to use with a less precise pointing device than default KDE.

        Good question! I feel like Plasma generally crams more into the UI than Gnome. Context menus, global menus, desktop icons, the system tray, etc., there’s so much space being utilized. When you have limited screen real estate, having more at your fingertips matters (for the way I do things). Additionally, you can set the power button to open the shutdown overlay, which I don’t think is something Gnome has; it’s a button within easy reach on my laptop, so that functionality makes sense.

        Some people have said that gesture support is also better on Plasma, and while I don’t tend to need it currently, it’s something I might want someday. So while I agree that Gnome seems like it should be more suited, I find it’s actually the opposite for the way I do things!
