KDE echo chamber

boredsquirrel OP ,

I use KDE but GNOME is cool too lol.

Btw it is pronounced with a G.

warmaster ,

I also use KDE because it's better for gaming. But I love GNOME's UX/UI. I wish I could go back.

boredsquirrel OP ,

Checkout some videos by Michael Horn, GNOME 46 is actually pretty good for gaming.

In what ways is it better for gaming?

DmMacniel ,

The Gamecontroller calibration and test all is pretty nifty in KDE. Something like that is dearly missing on GNOME.

I use jstest-gtk. Really light handy tool for testing and calibration. Antimicrox also works great for rebinding controllers.

Same, only reasons I had to move to KDE were, GNOME crashes when both my monitors are off (so, every night when I go to sleep), and tray icons are terrible (as GNOME intentionally doesn't support them), the extensions are all very lacking in features compared to the Windows tray (kde somewhat matches almost everything except being able to reorder the icons).

The ArcMenu extension is by far the start menu I've liked the most out of all options on linux, and it saddens me that there's no KDE plasmoid/widget variant

Anticorp ,

You will never make me pronounce the G. Never!

Oh, this is getting dangerous now.

Wait, you don't pronounce the G? So it's like... "NOM-NOM-NOM"?

Anticorp ,

LOL. Yes, but add an E at the end. Like this::

boredsquirrel OP ,

Thats only in english. In german it is Gnom and you pronounce the Gn correctly.

terminhell ,

I prefer KDE for desktops, but gnome for laptops. However I've been using gnome on my desktop for a while now. With some minor customizations it's fine.

jjlinux ,

"gee-nome"? Got it!

captain_aggravated ,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's pronounced "juh-know-may."

jjlinux ,

Only if you have a Klingon accent.

captain_aggravated ,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's a Klingon tea-like beverage. A warrior's drink!

jjlinux ,

Ah, warm beer, yes!

boredsquirrel OP ,

boredsquirrel OP ,

Hahaha no like GNOME

https://m.dict.cc/deutsch-englisch/gnu.html

The Halmafelix voice pronounces it correctly.

But thats not your fault, english is like french, not pronouncing the G in gnome. It is like a-gn-ostic

acockworkorange ,

Genome

That’s so cursed.

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Just no

boredsquirrel OP ,

https://m.dict.cc/deutsch-englisch/gnu.html

Halmafelix pronounces Gnu (the animal) which is just the same as GNOME.

G-N-O-M-E

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

BIG kDE is suppressing this post.

boredsquirrel OP ,

I use Plasma 6 myself and it is pretty awesome. But GNOME (which is btw pronounced as in a-gn-ostic) is also cool
