    It’s never about the DE’s themselves, it’s about the devs.

    KDE’s devs are just focused on making a cool desktop environment with many features. It’s a little buggy and has some weird design decisions, but whatever, no biggie.

    GNOME devs deliberately sabbotage existing linux standards in attemps to take control over desktop linux. Examples: client-side decorations, client-side shadows, systray fiasco.

    This is not a question of personal preference. It’s a question of keeping desktop linux free, fair, and accessible for everyone.

      You’re feeding the fire. Just use what you like and let the other DEs do their thing. You can totally exist without shitting on what other people prefer.

        Did you even read my comment? This has nothing to do with personal preference. It’s a matter of defending a shared commons from a hostile force. Sure, an individual gnome user can coexist with an individual kde user, like seriously who cares its just a DE. But as a community, users of other DEs, WMs and compositors can only “coexist” with the gnome project in the same way that a population of humans can “coexist” with the COVID-19 virus
