Modern KDE is great

[–] meiti@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Great move. I did this last year after a decade of gnome and can't be happier. I use sway for work and KDE for pleasure.

Can you give some examples of what you like in KDE over Gnome?

[–] clanginator@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a long-time Windows user, things like settings or notifications are laid out much more logically, as well as I feel like everything in KDE is just a little better integrated than Gnome. Also a lot faster for me to get it to a point where I feel like I like it, and it seems to use a lot less system resources (although it's been a couple years since I daily'd linux, so it's possible that's different on Gnome these days).

But otherwise I don't have a whole lot of specifics, it just feels a lot more mature in general, like I don't have to search for anything I need DE-wise, it's always right where I'd expect and extremely well-built. And any extra functionality from add-ins works nicely.

Anyone know of a way to "mate" widgets to the taskbar on KDE? So that when I hit the super button I get my widgets popping over any active apps...

I searched for a while and couldn't find anything, but if anyone got any special sauce I'd love to know.

Edit: just noticed the extra start menu on the right side - lol that's where that went

Can you upload this theme?

[–] clanginator@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

What's the best way to export everything? The name of the theme I used is in the info panel there but if there's a way for me to export everything as I have it set I'm happy to help.

Otherwise I can get all the names of the different themes for ya.

Thanks that's nice of you, but I don't think there's a way to export everything. I'll try to copy it manually.
