    Am I the only one who thinks it looks ugly? Don’t get me wrong, they are improving it in many ways and it’s going in the right direction, plus a ton of features and customizability, but when I look at Gnome I don’t doubt for a second where I want to be.

      They are two opposite styles of UI.

      However, KDE has a fuckton of customization possibilities that I have always been dreaming of in GNOME.

      And I’m saying this as a GNOME guy, absolutely zero fanboyism here.

        I don’t think anyone would think you were a fanboy, just beacuse KDE has ton of configuration and customization. That’s the opposite of GNOME. I always think of GNOME like Apple, who decides what you can and cannot do, what you are allowed to. I used GNOME 2, then Unity, then GNOME 3 all the way from Ubuntu 2008 to what, 2020 (I forget when I switched to different distro for the first time).

      I also think Gnome is much prettier than KDE but KDE is a fully working desktop environment that does not need extensions to get it to a working state so here I am.

      (Although I would not call KDE ugly)

      You are not the only one. Its a taste. I personally like the KDE look the most, its beautiful to me. No other desktop environment looks this good.

      kde is pretty enough, it’s not exactly trendy but I feel they’re going the best they could do while keeping information density
