KDE fricking sucks, if you don't want to use GNOME at least use something GTK based like budgee.
some windows don't play that well with it and it doesn't implement some protocools or something like that so you can't use any custom panels without a myriad of (often hacky) patches and not everything is guaranteed to work anyway
You can argue you don't need a panel because it comes with one but it's somewhat basic, so basic in fact that a good percentage of people (me including) will have to run an external program to generate the text and those often aren't included in distro repositories which makes it a pain
the whole patches thing while great for someone who wants to tinker with their window manager, isn't so great for those who just want to use their computer though it makes it easy to have some really cool features like window plumbing which aren't really there on other WMs and would be a bit tricky to implement
to be fair, once you patch everything you don't really have to worry about it ever again, well at least until you to install it again on a different PC and maintaining a github repo of patches is a bit of a pain and they often will conflict with each other so you might end up having to apply them manually
maybe you can automate it with nix, home-manager or guix but i just haven't tried it yet
i guess compiling can be somewhat tricky on more niche OSes as well, i've had this issue in the past
i've been using it for probably over 2-3 years and gotten really used to the layout but i feel like i'd enjoy using something else better

what's your problem exactly? it supports systray with patch, it can divide to show all active windows in given tag with patch. What's there to ask for?

>your problem exactly
because that program isn't in my distro's repo and is in itself an unnecessary dependency and i'm not gonna maintain a patch just so i can see the date and ram usage asynchronously
window plumbing takes like 10 lines of shell to implement for bspwm. Well might be a bit longer but that's what my bit hacky implementation took... I use gnome now though
i mean i do know you can do that but it's not really built into the WM itself
i don't even care about it that much, just the layout

gnome 4x has a thousand concessions on part of the devs. they openly admit they wish it was still a useless turd like in 2011
the nice thing about FOSS is that bullying idiots works
100% agree OP, KDE/XFCE is TRAAAAAASH.
Oops, wrong pic. Sorry, GNOME removed all the thumbnails from the file picker so it's hard to tell which pic is which now.

lmao the bugs even start with the logo and continues in their DE 🙂
not a bug and you know it gnometroony
of course it's not a bug
it's a feature
*wink wi- krashes
>xfce
no application suite
buggy shit
moronic defaults and feature incomplete

No one rices plasma to look like winblows you fricking deranged troony
Unfortunately, the only DE with decent screen sharing capabilities on Wayland.
i hate guhnome like you wouldn't believe

sincerely yes. very cozy
but don't a i need a kernel, and libc, and graphics drivers??
Why does everything on gnome looks so big the UI and icon

bspwm,
No bar, no background.
why is there not a single twm that has the layout of dwm?
what about dwm?

He switched back to GNOME long before GNOME 4X.
Besides, GNOME devs have been homosexuals even back in the days of GNOME 2. GNOME 3 didn't really change much.
